Tromp: Kosovo has done nothing against Serbia's lies

It is surprising the undead response of all of whom Serbia lies against, including Kosovo, says in an interview for Radio Free Europe Nevenka Tromp, legalising studies for Eastern Europe at Amsterdam University in the Netherlands, as well as Hague Tribunal researcher for war crimes in the former Yugoslavia for 12 years.

She is the author of the book “Criminal Process against Slobodan Milosevic: The unfinished judgment”, which was promoted on Monday, December 13th, in Pristina.

Tromp says that the failure to conclude the trial process against Milosevic, due to his death in 2006, has left his ideology undarking as to whether wars took place because of his personality pathology and the evolution of his consciousness in criminal consciousness.

Tromp also explains the reasons why Milosevic did not want the presence of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation Mission in Europe (OSBE) during the war in Kosovo, as well as for Recak, where one of the massacres of Serb forces took place against Albanian civilians has occurred.

According to her, Serbian authorities, including Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, and Serbian Defence Minister Aleksandar Voulin, today consistently deny the truth about Recak, as well as about Vukovar, Dubrovnik, Sarajevo and Srebrenica, in order to reduce Serbia's responsibility.

As she says, not only political and state leaders, but also journalists and academics have not tried to find relevant quotes from The Hague Tribunal and say Mr. Voulin, you are minister of the Republic of Serbia, but you are lying about the massacre in Recak.

Radio Free Europe: Lady Tromp, in Pristina, your book “criminal process against Slobodan Milosevic has been promoted: unfinished judgment”. What facts does this book sum up and bring to readers?

Nevenka Tromp: The book “The unfinished trial of Slobodan Milosevic” deals with his trial archive at The Hague Tribunal. This trial has lasted from February 2002 until March 2006, when it was interrupted, because Mr. Milosevic died.

He died before the proclamation of the decision, and this book has proved to protect the theme that war crimes judgments against humanity and genocide are in itself very important because of evidence and witnesses who have appeared there. The very act and condemnation, which eventually followed, are important because they are also the purpose of criminal processes.

But, in spite of this, the vast material that remains behind his judgment... I've had the desire to present to the academic and inadequacy public, meaning, the vast public, in order to show what actually happened during the 1990s, why people suffered so much and whether they were born from the sufferings of those wars, was there something permanent, something right or those wars or in The Hague, in fact, didn't bring about permanent solutions for the former Yugoslavia. /Full interview at REL/
