Kosovar President Fatmir Sejdiu said he has "full trust" in the verdict by a UN tribunal Thursday that acquitted former Serb president Milan Milutinovic of war crimes and crimes against humanity, accroding to dpa. "Of course we at all time have full trust in the verdicts of the international court," Sejdiu said through a translator during a press conference in Washington with US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "Enormous crimes, crimes against humanity, took place in Kosovo and Bosnia and Croatia" during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, he said. "These crimes were committed by people who were leading the politics at that time." The UN court in The Hague ruled that Milutinovic did not have authority over the Serbian campaign against Kosovo's ethnic Albanians in 1999. Slobodan Milosevic, the former president who controlled power as prime minister at the time, was also on trial but died in his prison cell in 2006.
