The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Ivica Dacic, expressed today's protest because, with every arrest of those accused of crimes against Serbs, a part of the international community opposes the arrest of the former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), Ramush Haradinaj, "as if crimes against Serbs were allowed." .
"I guess the rules that apply to other nations also apply to the Serbian people. But it's not just Haradinaj... I would like to remind you that they are now defending a war criminal and are not allowing him to be arrested, and they did not protest when Montenegro extradited our people to Pristina, who were arrested in Montenegro. When will that system work?" said Dacic.
Speaking about the chances of Haradinaj accused of war crimes being extradited to Serbia from France, Dacic said that there is no way to influence another country to do what Belgrade thinks it should do, but that "this will not give them peace".
He said that he does not know when Serbia will send a request for extradition, because that is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice, but he reminded that the Prime Minister of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, has announced that it will be done and that there is no reason not to request it.
He stated today that the information about the plan of the Albanian diaspora to attack a Serbian embassy abroad due to the arrest of Ramush Haradinaj came from the security services of a western country and that it is meaningless to claim that Serbia invented it or that it is planning to carry out such an action on its own in order to accuse Albanians.
In an interview with Serbian Radio and Television, Dacic said that by publishing this information, Serbia wanted to warn the public and the host country that it is responsible for the safety of the embassy and its employees, and added that the level of vigilance in Serbian diplomatic missions has been raised.
"We warned about what we received from the Western security services, from the security community of a large country... It is known exactly who made those proposals (about occupying the embassy), where they live, and these are not empty stories," said Dacic and added to know which embassy and in which country was a possible target.
He said that the plan was to get Serbia to agree to drop the request for the extradition of Haradinaj by seizing the embassy and kidnapping its employees, and rejected claims from Pristina that Belgrade itself planned to do this in order to accuse Albanians.
"Just remember during the NATO aggression what kind of lies we heard about Serbia and the Serbian people. German politicians said that Serbian doctors inserted animal implants into Muslim women. Hashim Thaci said that 100.000 Albanians were trapped in the stadium in Pristina. And (the then spokesman NATO) Jamie Shay said that we captured 300 Albanian children and were using them as a blood bank. And now they are telling us that we made this up," said Dacic.
