UNMIK/PR/604 SRSG Welcomes Milosevic Extradition PRISTINA - The Special Representative of the Secretary General, Mr. Hans Haekkerup yesterday issued the following statement: "I very warmly welcome this news. For more than a decade, the horrible acts of Mr. Milosevic and his collaborators have spread immense suffering in this region. One of the greatest impediments to much needed reconciliation here has been the fact that those who held positions of responsibility while the tragedy unfolded have not answered for what happened. The population of Kosovo, along with others in the Balkans, need to see that justice is served in order to begin to reconcile one with another. I have always fully supported the efforts of the ICTY to pursue their investigations and to bring Mr. Milosevic and others responsible for atrocities before the court in the Hague. The new authorities in Belgrade should be congratulated for this extremely important move."
