MCU: (SOUNDBITE) (GERMAN) GERMAN CHANCELLOR GERHARDT SCHROEDER ADDRESSING PARLIAMENT AS NOTED/ APPLAUSE (5 SHOTS) 1.14 LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM (APRIL 14, 1999) (REUTERS) 3. GV/PAN: BRITISH DEFENCE SECRETARY GEORGE ROBERTSON ENTERS DAILY BRIEFING ROOM WITH COLLEAGUES 1.20 4. CU/GV: (SOUNDBITE) (ENGLISH) ROBERTSON SAYING: "We now have further evidence that Arkan is recruiting volunteers for his paramilitary unit, the Tigers. We understand that he has even been scouring prisons in Serbia offering pardons to anyone prepared to join the Tigers and to commit these atrocities in Kosovo. This brutal thug is releasing hardened criminals from Serb jails to terrorise the people of Kosovo, and I wonder what the people of Serbia would make of that development if they were allowed to know it. But perhaps even more disturbingly, we understand that another brutal veteran of Bosnian atrocities, General Ratko Miladic is commanding a gang of paramilitaries in Kosovo just now. Miladic is also another indicted war criminal - he's been indicted for genocide, crimes against humanity and violation of the laws and customs of war for his part in the Bosnian war. Miladic is strongly suspected of involvement in the terrible massacre of Srebenica following the fall of the town to Serb forces in 1995 - between 8,000 and 10,000 muslim males are believed to have been slaughtered forces under Miladic's control in Srebenica. With brutal killers like that at work in Kosovo it's no wonder that so many people have fled their homes." / WIDE SHOT (2 SHOTS) 3.05 Initials Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
