Former Kosova Liberation Army (UCK) General Agim Ceku, who now heads
the civilian Kosova Protection Corps (TMK), told reporters in
Prishtina on 3 December that the decision by UN civilian
administration (UNMIK) chief Harri Holkeri to suspend 12 TMK members
"is unacceptable for us and as such will not be taken into
consideration," Reuters reported (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 3
December
2003). Among the 12 men whom Holkeri suspects of having links to the
illegal Albanian National Army (AKSH) are former UCK Generals Nuredin
Lushtaku and Rrahman Rama. Holkeri defended the suspensions as being
in line with "the approach taken by European institutions when
serious allegations are made against their members." PM
