Prosecution wraps up Kosovo Six case

Military analyst Phillip Coo was the last witness to testify at the trial of the six former Serbian political, military and police officials charged with war crimes committed in Kosovo crimes.

Before Phillip Coo took the stand Wednesday, the presiding judge announced that the Trial Chamber had decided not to admit the Canadian analyst’s report into evidence.

The Trial Chamber agreed with the defense and found that the document contained a series of conclusions which should have been made by the judges, not by a witness. The only document to be admitted into evidence was his statement describing how he obtained a number of Yugoslav Army (VJ) and Serbian Interior Ministry (MUP) documents related to the Kosovo events.

In his short testimony, Coo said that in March 2006, the prosecution had finally been granted full access to Serbian archives after “a difficult procedure”. The Trial Chamber will decide later which of these documents will be admitted into evidence.

The prosecution indicated that besides 111 witnesses, it would like to call three more potential witnesses. If the Trial Chambers agrees, the prosecution will call Zoran Lilić, former FRY president, Shaun Burns, head of the U.S. Embassy mission in Kosovo and Wesley Clark, former NATO commander.

As indicated by the Trial Chamber, the defense must be ready to start its case by June 15,  2007.
