After that, the lawyer had announced the witness that the case is over and that the person is innocent and that he has proved to have no joint criminal organisation, nor was he related to any of the local commanders.

I admit, however, that the wording should have been done differently, Abrahams said, while lawyer Emmerson said the case goes beyond because the killings were described as committed by KLA forces.

I wanted to address the judge briefly, not the lawyer, that she was a knife behind my back, that he should be right and fair and not give a shot down the belt. Let me show you where the order is, where he saw it, where he had it, and where he had that copy of command”, Halitijaha said.

According to him, he was told Pristina was a high centre of the country's culture, while Drenica was a remote area consisting of villagers.

One of them told me at a point and that's something I'll never forget, I've stuck it in my mind; They talked about divisions, traditional, cultural differences between Drenica and Pristina. Pristina was the centre and the government institution, and the University of Pristina was located there. In a sense, it was the center of the country's high culture. Meanwhile, in Drenica's case, Drenica was a remote area in some sense at the time that was dominated or composed by villagers”, the witness declared.

Byrnes said Serbia's policies towards Kosovo Albanians from 1998 onward have been terrible and brutal. He said he predicted there would be revenge after the NATO intervention.

The witness that I am suspected”, the witness said. While Misetic asked to be informed by the witness if the SPS had specifically told him he was not a suspect.
