"K. Serbs wont join Thaci’s government"

United Serb List leader Radmila Trajkovic has stated that her list does not want to join Hashim Thaci's government. She told B92 that Thaci had contacted her several times but that she had refused the offer. "K. Serbs wont join Thaci’s government" When asked what the Kosovo Albanian PM exactly had to offer, Trajkovic said she did not know because she did not want to give him immunity for everything he had done. “Thaci is looking for a way to get his immunity and that's why he wants Serbs to be in the government. He contacted me several times regarding this, last time last night. He needs immunity through an institutionalized position but I am sure that there is not a single Serb who will sit in that government,“ she stressed. Trajkovic has assessed that more and more Albanians feel animosity toward the past, Thaci and “not only toward him“. “They cannot manifest it publicly. I believe that representatives of the Albanian parties would like Thaci to leave, they're just not saying it publicly,“ she added and pointed out that the Albanian parties would concentrate more on the issue of the elections' regularity than on the crimes accusations. Commenting on the report of CoE investigator Dick Marty, she said that Marty as a representative of Switzerland was very familiar with Thaci's file since the Kosovo PM had lived there for a long time. “Dick Marty has documents which are not from his individual investigation, but as he himself said, from the investigations of the FBI and certainly from KFOR command,“ Trajkovic stressed. She noted that 50 Serbs, Roma and other non-Albanians had been killed every week in Kosovo in 1999 and that it had been known even back then that there had been kidnappings, killings and organ trade. Quoting various KFOR sources, she explained that mass graves of Serbs were located in northern Albania and that both UNMIK and EULEX “were only quiet observers“ of the crimes. “They came with propaganda about horrible crimes against the Albanians that were completely unacceptable but then problems of the Serbs did not interest them. The only thing we could get is an escort for trips outside Kosovo, as if the only goal was for us to leave,“ Trajkovic explained. Speaking about the elections in Kosovo which were held on December 12, she expressed hope that the election process would be repeated in Strpce and Gracanica. Rada Trajkovic
