Krasniqi's lawyer: One of the pathologists who made the autopsy witnessed Milosevic's defence for the Recak massacre

Jakup Krasniqi's lawyer, Shyamala Alagedra, said on Thursday in The Hague that one of the pathologists who has done the autopsy that witness John Clarke has been asked to perform, witnessed the defence in the trial of Slobodan Milosevic for the Recak massacre.

The professor in question, according to the lawyer, was Stadica Dobrican, of whom the witness said there was no personal or professional contact with this person, reports “Justice betrothal “.

“Doctor Clarke, do you know that Stadica Dorbrican has witnessed the defense for Milosevic's trial on TPJ and even witnessed the fact in Milosevic's defense of the Recak massacre that I believe you know, do you know that?”, Alagdra said.

I didn't know that”, Clarke said.

The witness agreed that autopsy doctors should be professional and nationalistic, ideological, personal, and particularly community experts involved in the conflict should be taken into account when a certain expert's impartiality is judged.

He denied receiving information from the SPS about Professor Dobricani's political and professional partiality, which may have influenced his conclusions.

Afterward, the lawyer asked to introduce a document on what prosecutor James Pace opposed.

He said that the document in question has only two pages thought to have been drawn from a longer witness and that they do not have the evidence as a whole. He also said that the expert is a criminal pathologist and that the victims referred to in the indictment are not mentioned as Recak's victims.

As a result, the prosecutor requested that the defense be questioned as to what the survey is about. And Alagedra said she wanted to get opinions from Clarke witness regarding the physiology.

I wanted to get opinions from Dr. Clarke regarding Kosovars' physiology. So Kosovo's physical attributes. The characteristics of Kosovars, because they have been in Kosovo and are able to give us an opinion. In addition, I would have more information on the impartiality of Professor Dobricani”, he said.

As a result, the prosecution's opposition and Krasniqi's defence continued with questions.

When the session began after a 30-minute break, Hashim Thaci demanded that he take his word as he was present through the video connection. As a result, his lawyer, Nina Tawakoli, intervened, seeking private hearing, which was accepted by the court.

For the witness, however, there were no questions about the defence of Rexhep Selim, represented by lawyer Eric Tully.
