Kosovo PM cancels US trip for Serbia talks as President Thaci and 9 others indicted on war crime charges | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Kosovo Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti has canceled his trip to Washington, where Kosovo and Serbian leaders had planned to meet for talks at the White House. | |
Hoti announced on Thursday that the trip would not go ahead, after the president of Serbia’s breakaway province, Hashim Thaci, and nine other former separatist fighters were indicted on a range of crimes against humanity and war crime charges, AP reports. | |
Hoti informed US envoy Richard Grenell of his canceled trip, a decision that is likely to torpedo the talks. Thaci learned of his indictment on Wednesday. A pretrial judge at The Hague-based court is studying the indictment and could still reject it. | |
The meeting on Saturday was to be the first talks between Belgrade and Pristina in 19 months. Kosovo unilaterally declared its independence in 2008, a move Serbia has not recognized. |
