The Bytyqi trial that was set to continue on Monday before the War Crimes Chamber of Belgrade’s District Court has been postponed. The trial was adjourned since one of the defendants, Sreten Popovic, did not appear at today’s hearings, citing poor health. Bytyqi case trial delayed Petrovic’s attorney Bozo Prelevic notified the chamber that his client had a severe head injury and that he was hospitalized in Belgrade’s Clinical Center. Chamber’s Presiding Judge Vesko Krstajic ordered the defense attorney to deliver Popovic’s medical records. Milorad Ulemek, a former commander of the Special Operations Unit (JSO), who was brought from Belgrade's Central Prison, and former MUP Zandarmerija (Gendarmerie) Commander Goran Radosavljevic Guri were slated to testify today. They are to be questions on December 22, when the trial is set to resume. At the time of the killing of the three Albanians, Radosavljevic was the commander of MUP Petrovo Village training center. Several witnesses claim to have seen him at the camp with his daughter. A number of witnesses testimonies also place Ulemek at the scene, saying he arrived at the camp once or twice in a police helicopter. His unit's instructors are said to have conducted the training in Petrovo Selo. Popovic and Stojanovic are charged for aiding the murder of the three U.S. citizens of Albanian origin. The defendants were members of Serbia’s police, MUP. They are charged with having denied the Bytyqi brothers a chance of a fair trial by turning them over them to unidentified MUP members, who the prosecution says killed all three on July 9, 1999, by shooting them in the back of their heads. Their bodies of the victims were discovered in a mass grave in Petrovo Selo, with their hands tied behind their backs. Agron, Mehmet and Ylli Bytyqi arrived in Kosovo in 1999 to fight with the KLA, but when they were detained by the police after the war, they were charged with illegally crossing the border into Serbia, and sentenced to a short prison term.
