Rubin, Krasniqi's lawyer: We understood his demands if we were on his shoes like that.

Rubin said Jakup Krasniqi's demands for American military intervention, KLA arming, stopping from ethnic cleansing by Miloseviqi were irrational and added that “we understood, and if we had been in his shoes, we would have asked for the same item”.

But, he said, his demands at the time were impossible to achieve.

There were things that we were about to do, he wanted ground bodies inside and we explained to him what we were able to do. During those weeks, he was concerned about his people, we understood, and we told him what we could and what we couldn't do”, he said.

Lawyer: He was looking for humanitarian intervention? And his first request was American intervention and the ban on ethnic cleansing by Milosevic?

Rubin: It was a sensitive state, we were ready for troop intervention, Clinton had that expelled. We couldn't answer his demands, because Clinton had cleared up that we weren't ready at the time.

Lawyer: Krasniqi wanted KLA arming as a must.

Rubin: We felt that if we were in his shoes, we would have asked for the same thing.

RubinI realized, but we weren't ready to do it back then.

Serbia always aimed at blaming the KLA”, Ruby said in her first response to Jakup Krasniqi's lawyer, who asked him if Serbia corrupted crime places to blame KLA.
