The UN war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia is investigating cases against three more former Serb officials, Serbia and Montenegro's Foreign Minister Mr Goran Svilanovic said in comments broadcast today.
But Mr Svilanovic told radio B92 they were expected to be the last investigations against Serb officials, regardless of whether they resulted in indictments.
Mr Svilanovic was quoted by the radio as identifying the three as Blagoje Adzic, former Yugoslav army chief of staff, Milan Babic, former president of the self-styled republic of Serb Krajina in Croatia, and Goran Hadzic, former head of eastern Slavonia region in Croatia.
He was speaking less than two weeks after the publication of new indictments against four Serb police and army generals caused anger among Serbs over chain-of-command charges and fear that the list would never end.
The four generals are accused of war crimes during Serbia's bid to crush separatist Kosovo Albanian guerrillas in the teeth of NATO bombing in 1999.
Mr Svilanovic said the UN war crimes prosecutor Ms Carla del Ponte had told him more than six months earlier that out of several dozen investigations under way in ex-Yugoslavia about 10 referred to Serbia and Montenegro and that those were likely to produce six or seven new indictments.
"Four indictments have already been issued and as far as I know there are three more investigations under way," radio B92 quoted him as saying.
He also said he was discussing with other state officials the possibility of getting the four generals' cases transferred to domestic courts.
Ms Del Ponte has dismissed any suggestion of the generals being tried in Serbia, saying the seriousness of the allegations against them and their seniority ruled that out. The indictments have been seen as a form of pressure on Serbia to find top fugitive Bosnian Serb wartime leader Ratko Mladic. Serb officials have repeatedly denied harbouring him.
Serbia has been under pressure to hand over war crimes indictees or face economic penalties, especially from the United States.
