THE HAGUE, Netherlands-The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal says a former
Kosovo government minister and his deputy can return home to wait for their
contempt of court trial.
Astrit Haraqija and Bajrush Morina have pleaded innocent to trying to
pressure a witness against testifying in the trial of former Kosovo Prime
Minister Ramush Haradinaj. Despite the alleged pressure, the witness testified.
Haraqija is Kosovo's former minister of culture, youth and sport. Morina
was his deputy.
Haradinaj was a commander of ethnic Albanian rebels during the 1998-99
Kosovo war. He was acquitted last month of all charges.
In a statement Tuesday, the U.N. court said Haraqija and Morina will
be released until their trial. No date has been set for the case.
