Kostunica blasts Kosovo judiciary

The Yugoslav President, Vojislav Kostunica, has urged the United Nations-led administration in Kosovo to end what he described as drastic violations of law and justice in Kosovo.

In a letter to the UN Secretary-General,Kofi Annan, Mr Kostunica called for a revision of all court rulings and indictments against non-Albanians in the province.

He said all planned trials of non-Albanians should be postponed until adequate international judicial councils had been established.

President Kostunica said the main problem was the extremely bad situation in Kosovo's judiciary system.
