The Serbian War Crimes Prosecution today condemned the decision in the Klecka war crimes case to acquit Fatmir Limaj and three other former members of the KLA. "This begs the question of whether anyone will ever be convicted for committing crimes against Serbs in Kosovo," a brief statement released by the prosecution said on Wednesday. Prosecution: Limaj acquittal "unjust and disgraceful" In it, the War Crimes Prosecution described the decision reached by a mixed council of a court in Pristina as "unjust and disgraceful, above all toward the victims seeking justice". The District Court in Pristina on Wednesday set Limaj and three others ethnic Albanians accused in the case free, finding that they did not commit war crimes against the civilians who were in 2008 illegally imprisoned in the Klecka camp, ran by the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Limaj is now a member of the assembly in Pristina, the leader of Democratic Party of Kosovo, and also served as government minister after the 1999 war. A British judge who presided over the council that made the decision explained there was no evidence to support the indictment against the group. Jonathan Welford Carroll also stated that the decision was made "in light of the inadmissible testimony of Agim Zogaj". The Italian prosecutor in the case, Maurizio Salustro, said he would appeal against the first-instance ruling announced today in Pristina. Fatmir Limaj is seen in Pristina (Tanjug) Beta
