Chief Hague Tribunal prosecutor Serge Brammertz says Serbian officials told him that searching for war crimes suspects is not their top priority. In an interview with the French paper Le Monde, Brammertz said that during last week's visit to Belgrade, he had presented the opinion that Serbia must do more when it comes to cooperation with the tribunal. "Search for fugitives not Serbia's priority" Asked to assess the level of Serbia's cooperation, Brammertz replied that he "will make the assessment of whether cooperation is positive or not based on how the situation develops over the next few weeks." "However, I think that my Serbian colleagues openly admitted that in the current political situation the search for criminals on the run is not their top priority," Brammertz said. He added that the tribunal had urged the international community to use all means to pressure those who could aid in the cooperation, but that the results so far had been limited. "Let us say that sometimes we had limited information. However, I can't say that this is very promising," Brammertz said. Belgian Serge Brammertz in January took over the post of Hague tribunal chief prosecutor from Carla Del Ponte, who had occupied it for the previous eight years.
