Trials are NOT something new. More than 100 Serb soldiers and police were trialed so far for their actions in Kosovo conflict.Trials started during Miliosevic, but was never reported in Western media. Trials continued with new government.
The official position is that all guilty individuals have to face the justice, Serbs and Albanians alike. Serbs are doing their share of legal work, UN running Kosovo does not.
The only troublesome part here is involvement of Natasa Kandic. Late Serbian PM considered her a psychopath and forbade his Party members to have any contacts with her. Although person born into Serb family, she supported KLA terrorists during Kosovo conflict and actually manufactured 'evidence' in other cases.
It is very possible that this policeman has murdered families of the children. It is very posslible that children have recognised him by recollection of memory and not from the photograph.
It is possible. But the rule of law requires that it is proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Because of Natasa Kandic involvement, I tend to believe children were groomed to testify.
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: "But one witness at the trial, Natasa Kandic, whose Humanitarian Law Center has provided legal assistance to the victims, said the children and their fathers described to the court how their families were rounded up and gunned down.
She can not be witness because she has NOT wintessed the crime. She can only present hearsay.
Secondly, it is evident that FATHERS of the children are ALIVE and well. Where they were at the time alleged crime occured? Were they at the scene of the crime when alleged crime occured? How come they were not killed?
Albanian "witnesses" were debunked in the Hague on so many ocasions that it was embarrasing to watch. here we go again, only this time in Serbian court.
It would be interesting to scrub the web and find more data about this crime that allegedly happenned.
Can somene google for it? I bet there is interesting info sitting somewhere that would cast serioust doubt on the entire episode.
For starters, Manchester, where the kids live is the distribution point for Albanian heroin network

Well if the fathers are describing ("the fathers described to the court") the alleged massacre, then they were there too (or else they are false/hearsay witnesses). Now why would the police massacre everyone but the men? Do we have the names of the alleged victims and forensic evidence? Why are they given secrecy when Serbs aren't given anonymity when they have to go to Croatia for trials of Croats for crimes perpetrated against Serbs there? In Croatia, witnesses have been killed (http://www.cdsp.neu.edu/info/students/marko/feral/feral120.html), but they witnesses aren't given anonymity. And these people live in England, so they aren't as vulnerable as those in Croatia wanting to testify against Croats. For all we know there relatives may turn out to be those killed in a NATO bombing run. I think it is only fair to have the names of those killed, and at least the fathers names here.
