Balkans: May 3, 2002

Yes, of late weve stayed away from the Milosevic trial. The blusters too predictable. But on May 3 Kosovos Ibrahim Rugova took the stand against Slobo. Rugova accused Milosevic of ordering the massacre of Albanian Kosovars. Milosevic accused Rugova of being (quoted from AFP report) a pawn of great powers. Slobo also said the KLA was a drug army and a terrorist organization. Rugova said he didnt know anything about the KLAs involvement in terror and drugs (and odds are the moderate reformer doesnt, either). Rugova also said that Milosevic was cleansing Kosovo of Albanians.
