Government covered up Kosovo killings, says Serb police chief

OFFICIALS in Slobodan Milosevic’s government ordered a cover-up of the remains of more than 80 Kosovo Albanians found in a refrigerated truck in the river Danube, a Serb police chief testified yesterday.

Colonel Caslav Golubovic headed a regional office of the police in eastern Serbia when the truck was discovered in April 1999.

The bodies, including those of women and children, were found more than a hundred miles from Kosovo, near the Serbian border with Romania, in what prosecutors say was an attempt to conceal evidence of war crimes by Milosevic’s forces in the Serb province.
