Carla Del Ponte’s book, “The Hunt”, is ruffling feathers all over the Balkans, and is particularly thorny for the international community, writes a Slovak daily. Media companies throughout Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Poland have been hitting where it hurts this week with the former Hague chief prosecutor’s accusations that the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) made a dastardly “business” out of selling the internal organs of abducted Serbs for transplantation to the highest bidder. Del Ponte book causing stir in Balkans “Anyone who has read any of the excerpts of the book on the internet already knows that things are a bit different to the way they have been portrayed. And such monstrous acts on the part of the KLA, that was then led by current Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaci and Ramush Haradinaj, acquitted at the Hague Tribunal for lack of evidence, are truly astounding,” says Hospodarske Noviny. The daily says that it seems that Del Ponte wanted ease her own conscience by writing the book, but that she will have a lot of explaining to do now. In this regard, the paper asks the question—why did she bring this to light only after recognition of Kosovo’s unilateral independence had begun? “She reveals too many secrets to be able to read the book in peace. Not just because of the atrocities, but because of the international community’s peculiar policy towards Kosovo and Serbia’s future,” says Hospodarske Noviny. The daily stresses that the former prosecutor has done many people an enormous favor. “The question is: how will the disenchanted Serbian public react to these secrets with the elections looming ever closer? Will it benefit the thus far pro-West oriented government, or the Serb Radicals for whom EU integration is not a priority?” wonders the daily. Carla Del Ponte (FoNet, archive)
