THAÇI to POMPEO: The agreement for the Specialist /Chambers/ was violated, we have been subject for 10 years now to the threat that they will convict us

The President of the State Hashim THAÇI sent a letter to the US Secretary of State Michael POMPEO to share his concerns for the activity of the Specialist Chambers in The Hague saying that the agreement made several years ago for the Specialist Chambers been violated. Express newspaper is in possession of the full letter THAÇI sent to POMPEO.

The President writes in the letter to US Secretary of State that little progress has been made in carrying out the foreseen mandate of the Specialist Chambers.

THAÇI says that speaking on behalf of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo he has serious reservations, adding that the Specialist Chambers has failed to produce the results foreseen in its mandate as set out in the /exchange of/ letters with the European Union and the Agreement with the Host Country, The Netherlands.

“The Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office are internal institutions that operate within the constitutional and legal hierarchy of the Republic of Kosovo. It is important that it is evident that these institutions also operate likewise and contribute to the general objectives of reforms by the Republic of Kosovo institutions and international community.”

The says that the manner the said institutions continue to operate is in direct contradiction to what was set out in the beginning saying that this is a serious concern for which he is obliged to react in his capacity as President of the state.

He asked for the security of the participants in the process reiterating that the Specialist Chambers and the Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office are justice institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and part of the domestic system of justice.

“The purpose of the establishment of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office was to create a credible domestic legal and institutional framework to investigate and prosecute crimes suspected to have been committed during the period 1998-2000 in Kosovo. In this context, it was set out that the crimes suspected to have been committed by both sides to the conflict would be investigated fully and properly.”

THAÇI says that it is disappointing that the Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office has dedicated its resources to investigate only one ethnic group, i.e. only the Kosovo , saying that this harms the credibility of the process.

“It is unacceptable that persons whose names have been mentioned in public reports, like the report by Swiss senator Dick MARTY published in 2010, have been subject for 10 years now to the threat that they will be investigated and potentially face trial.”

He criticised by saying that there are reliable reports which state that the statutory and procedural framework of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers is not in accordance with internationally recognised standards of fair trial and treatment.

In addition, he mentioned the fact that the persons participating in the process are not issued long-term Schengen visas to travel, but they are issued a visa with a duration of 14 days.

THAÇI asked that his concerns received the US government’s urgent consideration.

However, it seems that THAÇI’s letter where he expressed concern regarding the activity of the Specialist /Chambers/, was received in a different way by the United States.

It was described as an attempt by the president to influence the work of the Specialist /Chambers/ and POMPEO pointed out to him the consequences if Kosovo attempted to obstruct the work of the Specialist /Chambers/.

“The abrogation or undermining in any way of the Specialist Chambers or the Specialist Prosecutor’s Office work, structure or seat would seriously harm Kosovo’s credibility in the world; the claims would remain a permanent stain on Kosovo; Kosovo’s commitment to the rule of law would be put in doubt; justice to victims would be denied; and would blur Kosovo’s future as a member of the Euro-Atlantic family and international

community. The operation of Kosovo Chambers in the present format is the best way for Kosovo to close this chapter of its history and enable the United States to oppose the arguments of the state of Kosovo deniers …,” he writes in the letter.

The president made today a brief comment in relation to the content of the letter by POMPEO.

“That letter is clear, /?consistent/, and very correct,” said THAÇI about this issue making not further comments. /Gazeta Express/

/copy of Kosovo President Hashim THAÇI’s letter to US Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo published in Gazeta Express/

Your Excellency,

I am writing to you in order to express the grave concern of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo regarding the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office as part of the Specialist Judicial Institution based in The Netherlands.

The institutions of the Republic of Kosovo are very grateful to the Government of the United States of America and, in particular, to the State Department Office of Global Criminal Justice, for the continued political and financial support in establishing the mandate of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers.

Nevertheless, I am writing to you in order to officially draw your attention to our concern that, although five years have passed, which is the transition period set out at the beginning, little progress has been made in carrying out the foreseen mandate of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. Similarly, I have to express serious reservations on behalf of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, that the Kosovo Specialist Chambers (and Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office) has failed to produce the results foreseen in its mandate as set out in the /exchange of/ letters with the European Union and the Agreement with the Host Country, The Netherlands.

Your Government is aware that the original aim as expressed in the exchange of letters with the European Union was that the Kosovo Specialist Chambers would have a seat in the Republic of Kosovo, and for sensitive proceedings, a seat in a third country, which was decided to be The Netherlands, for the reason that a number of international justice institutions have their seats there.

The Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office are internal institutions that operate within the constitutional and legal hierarchy of the Republic of Kosovo. It is important that it is evident that these institutions also operate likewise and contribute to the general objectives of reforms by the Republic of Kosovo institutions and international community.

It is with great regret that I express my concern that the manner the said institutions continue to operate is in direct contradiction to what was set out in the beginning and what we had agreed upon.

It is of critical importance that, as it was set out during the negotiations with the European Union, there should be support by the international community in order to ensure the integrity and security of sensitive proceedings, including but not limited to, in agreement with a third host country.

However, it has never been the intention of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo for all proceedings to be transferred to the designated third country and entirely moved out of the existing system of criminal justice. The establishment of parallel institutions and the internationalisation of the proceedings do not ensure a positive impact on the domestic legal system.

I profoundly regret bringing this concern to your attention, but it is a serious concern, because I am obliged to react in my capacity as President of the Republic of Kosovo who is entrusted by the Kosovo Constitution and laws with the security and wellbeing of the citizens of Kosovo, as well as the cultivation of the principles of democracy, the protection of national security and preservation of the sovereignty of the state. Otherwise, our identity as a state, our efforts for independence and sacrifices made on behalf of our nation, will be harmed.

We are aware that in every conflict with serious consequences on the civilian population it is indeed necessary to have an effective accountability mechanism of a judicial nature that aims in principle to bring justice to the victims in the service of sustainable peace, security and reconciliation. It is equally important that any accountability mechanism serves the victimised communities and that justice is localised. Of course, the integrity of the proceedings should be ensured, as well as the security of the participants in the process. These were the main aims of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers at the beginning of the negotiations. It was also foreseen that that this mechanism would serve as a stimulus for effective reforms to the Kosovo criminal justice system, that would complement the continuation of the process of legal, political and constitutional reform with the goal of full integration in the European Union and NATO.

I regret to say, however, that the spirit of implementation of the process has been very different to what we expected at the beginning of the process.

Allow me to reiterate that the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office are justice institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and, irrespective of their geographic location, they remain an integral part of the domestic system of criminal justice that operates in the framework of the domestic legal and constitutional hierarchy. As a result, it remains a matter for the domestic government to decide, in full consultation and coordination with its international partners, the mandate, operation and geographic location of its institution. Therefore, it should be taken into consideration that the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office are not international judicial bodies.

It is the aim of the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo to support an appropriate accountability mechanism in the Republic of Kosovo consistent with the aims and objectives underlying the establishment establishing the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office. It is the position of the Republic of Kosovo that it is more appropriate that these proceedings are held at the location where the crimes are said to have been committed and where the efforts of the international community are directed towards the development of the domestic system of criminal justice and, where necessary, for highly sensitive proceedings to be held in a third country, in this case, The Netherlands.

The United States of America, the European Union, and other donors have invested considerable funds to set up the physical infrastructure of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. This is not an investment that the people of Kosovo will benefit from at a time when investments for the strengthening of the judicial and prosecution institutions in Kosovo are more than necessary.

The purpose of the establishment of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Kosovo Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office was to create a credible domestic legal and institutional framework to investigate and prosecute crimes suspected to have been committed during the period 1998-2000 in Kosovo. In this context, it was set out that the crimes suspected to have been committed by both sides to the conflict would be investigated fully and properly.

It is disappointing that the Special /as printed/ Prosecutor’s Office has dedicated its numerous resources to investigate only one ethnic group, i.e. only the , which in essence harms the credibility and legitimacy of the process. It is unacceptable that persons whose names have been mentioned in public reports, like the report by Swiss

senator Dick MARTY published in 2010, have been subject for 10 years now to the threat that they will be investigated and potentially face trial.

In addition, there are reliable reports which state that the statutory and procedural framework of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers is not in accordance with internationally recognised standards of fair trial and treatment. These reports put the process at risk and can lead to the loss of any legitimacy it may have. This is very harmful to the values of truth, justice and accountability, that are the foundation principles on which the Specialist Chambers is founded.

It is essential that the spirit of the implementation of the process, as set out at the beginning of the negotiations, should be used to ensure an effective accountability mechanism that is a domestic process with the support of the international community, that the process is sustainable and with long-term impact on the domestic judicial and prosecution institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.

A range of options is available to keep a presence of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and the Special /as printed/ Prosecutor of Kosovo in the Hague which would at the same time ensure the meeting of the objectives of concerned parties, including the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.

One of the concerns I need to raise here also relates to the failure to allow Kosovo citizens participating in the process visa free travel to The Netherlands. This process has been transferred, completely inappropriately, from the Foreign Ministry of The Netherlands to the Registry of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. The persons participating in the process who are citizens of the Republic of Kosovo are not issued long-term multi-entry Schengen visas. They are issued a single-entry visa, with a duration of 14 days, that does not allow transit in other states of the Schengen area, which adds to their costs and frustration. It is a fact that this is applied only to the citizens of Kosovo and it is a concern that continues to indiscriminately affect the functioning of the institution.

There are a number of other concerns that seriously harm the process established in The Hague and which the Government of the United States of America should urgently take into consideration in order to ensure that critical reforms are undertaken before the cases are prosecuted further, given the considerable funds already dedicated to this project.

I would be very grateful if you would take all these concerns into consideration and ensure they receive the urgent attention required.

THAÇI speaks up whether he was interviewed by the Specialist Chambers

1 April 2020

The president of Kosovo Hashim THAÇI spoke about the work of Specialist Chambers and interviewing of the former leading members of the .

THAÇI said in the television T7 “Pressing” program that he has not been served a summons by the Hague so far.

“I have not been interviewed. But it is quite normal if the summons is served,” said THAÇI.

“I was interviewed in the case of Mr. /Fatmir/ LIMAJ, /Ramush/ HARADINAJ, in the Hague, then again in Kosovo in the case of Mr. LIMAJ, and also in a case related to alleged war crimes,” he said.

“I responded positively, I was interviewed, the questioning was concluded in the capacity of a witness,” said THAÇI.

He said that he would respond positively to a possible summons by the Specialist Chambers to be interviewed.

“If the summons is served, I will also respond positively, like all other fellow fighters,” said THAÇI.

Asked whether he would resign from the post of the president if the summons is served, THAÇI denied such a possibility.

He said that he would not follow the example of former prime minister HARADINAJ who resigned after served a summons by the Specialist /Chambers/.

“I do not intend to. Why should I resign? It is quite normal to be interviewed,” he said.

Public letter by the opposition to:

Mrs. , President of the Republic of Kosovo

Mr. , Speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo

Mr. Isa MUSTAFA, Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo

Mr. Hashim THAÇI, Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo

Do not suspend the sovereignty!

The Republic of Kosovo is a political and legal reality. The state character is expressed in the territorial integrity as precondition of the existence and the sovereignty as a legal quality of functioning. Kosovo’s character as a state is expressed in the constitutional definition as “an independent, sovereign, democratic, unique and indivisible state”.

The constitutional amendment regarding the founding of the Specialists Chambers and the Specialist Prosecutor’s Office asks for the suspension of the constitutional provisions regarding the sovereignty of the judiciary. This is not a delegation of sovereignty. This is a renouncing of the state’s primary quality, i.e. sovereign functioning.

You have neither the legal constitutional right nor the democratic legitimacy to give up the sovereignty which in our Republic derives from the people as its inalienable right. In these circumstances, the political Group you have set up regarding this issue is unlawful, hence the technical group is also unlawful.

You had neither constitutional mandate nor legitimacy to set up such a political group that discusses about and negotiates the state sovereignty in one of its most important segments, i.e. the judiciary.

There is a legal dispute pending with regard to the Constitutional Court panel and it has taken decisions subjected to the needs of the politics of the day. The mandate of three international judges was extended with no basis in the constitution or law.

Two of the judges, including the Court’s Presiding judge, who considered the constitutionality of the amendment in question (Article 162) are under investigation for the crime of falsifying official documents. Regarding the case of the Specialist Chambers, this Constitutional Court panel decided on the constitutionality of the amendment only based on the limitation of the fundamental rights according to Chapter II of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo.

In no case did they consider whether this amendment clashes with the general spirit of the Constitution of the Republic, in particular with regard to the sovereignty and state unity of this Republic for which the highest act does not allow negotiation in any circumstance.

The constitutional amendment (that proposes the approval of Article 162 as a new article) reverses the Constitutional order and system of the Republic of Kosovo.

You, the four institutional leaders of the Republic of Kosovo, have neither the right, nor the mandate, nor the authorisation to cancel the country’s sovereignty. The constitutional amendment should not be brought for a vote in the Parliament.

As a result, we request that you stop immediately all political and institutional activities in this regard.

RESPONSIBILITY, WHERE ARE YOU?

Whoever follows closely the political developments in Kosovo, the BIG Night (the last ten days of the old year) when they wanted to undo the Specialist Chambers /SC/ (created precisely by those that wanted to undo it), know clearly that Kosovo has been dealt a big damaging blow, probably even irreparable.

Everybody, those that cooked this evil meal in particular, should be aware that this issue cannot go by as if nothing happened. If they do not know, or refuse to know, then there should be created a critical mass in the country in order to stop anybody to even dare and play with this country’s and people’s fate, whoever they might be, even the country’s top leaders.

Those that created this political mess should bear the political responsibility for the founding of SC, and they wanted to secretly undo what they gave a considerable contribution to create. I remind them: when we were talking about the creation of SC in 2014 in the US Embassy and latter in the EU Headquarters (in Prishtina), with the participation of the representatives of the parliamentary political parties, except LVV /Movement for Self-Determination/, nobody opposed the creation of the SC, except for me. Participants in those meetings included: Hashim THAÇI and Hajredin KUÇI from the PDK /Kosovo Democratic Party/, Isa MUSTAFA and Ismet BEQIRI, from the LDK /Democratic League of Kosovo/, Ramush HARADINAJ and Blerim from AAK /Alliance for the Future of Kosovo/. That was the right time to object to the SC that was and is a great injustice. However, this should have been done a long time ago. Now it is not the right time for this secret and ill-fated opposition of this nature. At that time you either did not speak up or approved it in silence. Now there is no more time for objections. Now it is time to face the striking of Zeus’s lightning-bolts although they might burn you! At that time you wanted to clean up the KLA which was and is clean. Now, let those individuals be cleaned up, whoever they might be, including you, the country’s top leader.

It is time to move on despite this injustice. Anybody who needs to be cleaned up let them be cleaned up in the Specialist Chambers of justice in the Hague! Time demands political responsibility, but obviously, there is political responsibility only where there is political culture and morale. However, in our case, we can only say: Responsibility and Morale, where are you? Where are you hiding? In what mouse hole have you got into?!

Let it be clear for you cooks of this evil meal, the State is not governed in this way! The sooner you vacate the state institutions the better for the country and nation! Let’s hope justice is of Euro-Atlantic standards! The damage is done now to our Republic, only by the bad leaderships!

“The Specialist Chambers was established to cause a political shake-up”

/image of the Europol Headquarters (now the Specialist Chambers seat) in The Hague/

The start of operations by the Specialist Chambers has been a key topic of discussion in Kosovo recently.

The chief of the Office for the Legal Protection of Potential Accused People by the Specialist Chambers, Driton LAJÇI, warned of a difficult year ahead for the country. The lecturer of criminal law, Ismet SALIHU, said that the majority of cases to be dealt with by the Specialist Chambers will be the alleged crimes committed after the liberation of the country in 1999.

We remind you that the investigators of the Specialist Prosecutor’s Office have interview two persons so far, whereas summonses have been served to at least 6 people, including Rrustem MUSTAFA, Sami LUSHTAKU, Nazif MEHMETI and Sokol DOBRUNA.

The start of operations by the Specialist /Chambers/ will make 2019 difficult

Several days ago, the chairman of the Nisma Socialdemokratike /Social-democratic Initiative/ national council, Jakup KRASNIQI, said in an interview to Koha.net that the case of Rrustem MUSTAFA is indicative of the fact that the Specialist Chambers is following in the footsteps of UNMIK.

He said that since “the Dick MARTY Report became public I have been against such a Court, and I have been especially against the ghost accusation of organ trafficking which was disgusting and a ‘democratic’ lie originating in Belgrade!”.

The Specialist Chambers is a success for the policy of Belgrade and its servants in Kosovo

“Considering the said report, I think that there is a lot of political meddling in the current situation. In my opinion, the establishment of this court is a success of the policy of

Belgrade and its servants in Kosovo who rejoiced at the establishment of the court. The case of Rrustem MUSTAFA is indicative of the fact that the Specialist Chambers is following in the footsteps of UNMIK. That is how the Kosovo International Administration courts started. The end will be similar to the pre-trials, an exercise in futility! However, I think one should not run from justice, what ever it is,” said KRASNIQI.

He also said that the Specialist Chambers might have a considerable impact on Kosovo’s political life.

“In the end, the completely political court was established to cause a political shake-up. There is no doubt that the Specialist Chambers has put Kosovo in the dock accused of war crimes?! I do no think our country deserves this treatment! I consider this a great injustice to Kosovo’s citizens. For several years, the World will speak and write about the alleged crimes of the Kosovo Liberation Army members?! I think this is very shameful!” KRASNIQI added for Koha.net.

He said that the crimes of ’s genocide will be forgotten.

“This court should no be seen in the narrow sense, neither with anger nor happiness. There is nothing else to do now but wait and see! We set it up with our own hands?! I have no doubt, for some it is an occasion to display patriotic flare, for others it is a case of extreme shame and sadness!”, said KRASNIQI.

Geoffrey Nice, a lawyer and former prosecutor with the Hague Tribunal, said that the founding of the Specialist Chambers was a result of the political will of actors outside Kosovo. In an interview with Zona e Debatit Nice underlined that the Specialist Chambers stemmed from the Dick Marty Report. “Although the Chambers was set up to be part of Kosovo’s legal system technically, it was imposed upon your system by political forces and it is entirely led by non-Kosovars. The roots and origins of the court are in what is called “The Dick Marty Report” and the suspicions of forced organ harvesting from ethnic Serbians who were reportedly killed for removing their organs.”

This statement by the former prosecutor of the Hague Tribunal for former Yugoslavia prompted me take an excerpt from my book “The Art of Negotiations” that includes the following:

Impunity for Serbian Genocide in Kosovo Is an Offence to the Euro-Atlantic Values

In these circumstances, I could not but remember a popular saying: “May God not leave us without righteous and peaceable people, otherwise Earth would let go of us”. This reminded me of a person who came up with a clear and accurate assessment, /Christian/ Schwarz-Schilling. Schwarz-Schilling said that the responsibility for not recognising Kosovo’s independence immediately after the Liberation War of 1999 falls on the UN, EU in particular. He finds the cause in “Europe, that is not in a position to formulate a clear policy for Serbia and Kosovo. And this is shameful!”. Them he goes on to assess in particular the EU countries that have not recognised Kosovo’s independence: “These countries have not recognised it (Kosovo’s independence – J.K.) because of their internal problems. This is selfish on the part of those countries. This way, Europe will never win a struggle for democracy”. According to his advanced opinion, Kosovo’s independence should have been recognised since 1999. He said that, nonrecognition “was a weakness on the part of the UN and EU that could not carry it through.” http://zeri.info/.../1788.../schristian-schwarz-schilling-kosova-eshtedashur-te-njihet- shtet-me-1999/

I would disregard the UN in this case. It is an amalgamation of 196 states with the most diverse range of systems, cultures and traditions which have included in the UN Charter such standards that they could not defend in any way. It is a pity that the Western Democratic countries which have set up high civilizational standards for human rights and freedoms, are not capable of defending those standards. On the contrary, instead of denouncing the repeated Serbian genocide in Kosovo these counties are concentrated into putting under the guillotine and denouncing Kosovo. And all this for the sake of Serbia! In addition, it makes all those that fought against it /Serbia/ not to feel good!

Albanians as a people have been submitted to exterminating and denationalising policies by Serbia and Yugoslavia since the wars of 1876/78, Balkan Wars, including Yugoslavia’s policies in Versailles and AVNOJ /Anti-Fascist Council for the National Liberation of Yugoslavia/, and more recently the Serbian Genocide policies in 1990-1999. All these policies, starting with the Berlin Congress (1878), the Conference of the Ambassadors in London (1913) to the Rambouillet Conference (1999) and Vienna Talks (2005-2007), are well known to the international community. It is unknown why do they wrap those policies in silence now. I do not deny that all political leaders of the post-Liberation War in Kosovo, in particular those that accepted the founding of the Specialist Chambers, are responsible for these policies. They should leave Kosovo’s the political stage if they have human and national decency following the sad failed attempt at night to undo the Specialist Chambers. It is clear that the people that created this situation cannot change it in any way!

All those who gave their consent to the Specialist Chambers, in particular those that forced others to vote for it, should be aware that they delivered the worst service to the Republic of Kosovo and its citizens for years to come. A lot of water should go under the bridge before our country wipes out the stain on Kosovo Liberation Army’s name, which was very unfair, of course.

I feel pity not only because the injustice towards Kosovo and its citizens goes on, but also that the Euro-Atlantic values are not being defended by those that have an obligation and power to denounce the Serbian genocide in the Old Continent! The civilised peoples of the Euro-Atlantic countries should raise their voice against this great historic injustice and the tolerance for the Serbian genocide in the last years of 20th Century. Of course, this is also an offence to the European and humanitarian values where ever they have been established.

In conclusion: How would things pan out after World War Two if there were Special Tribunals (like the Nuremberg /Tribunal/) for the countries who fought against Nazism and Fascism? Hence the popular saying that is an invitation for national and international

Devils cannot become angels and vice versa

Members of the Kosovo Assembly who voted for the Law of the Specialist Chambers delivered a bad service, the worst service, to Kosovo not only concerning the nation’s most glorious past, but also the present and future. They not only gave a criminal weapon to our century old foes, but also to the friends, who brand our freedom angels as war criminals. If one followed this logic, then the soldiers of the Antifascist Alliance should be called war criminals?!!! This is an unprecedented absurdity in the history of civilisation.

It is the ultimate absurdity to brand liberators as criminals, and it is beyond human audacity to demand prison for them. On the other hand, it is absurd to consider partners in dialogue the criminals who zealously pursued policies of genocide, who never distanced themselves from the policies of crime and genocide which they have been, and probably remain, part of.

There are several reasons to say this:

Firstly, Serbia has never diverged from the war-mongering and genocidal policies designed and pursued by official Belgrade. On the contrary, the leaders of the present Serbian state never considered it necessary to distance themselves from this genocide because they were part of it.

Secondly, all statements by Serbian high officials regarding Albanians of Kosovo, on every occasion, have remained within the framework of the brutal Serbian chauvinism, the false Serbian myth, of Kosovo as “the heart, cradle, and sole of Serbia”. They used this false myth as a basis to exercise the policy of genocide for the partial and wholesale banishment of Albanians from their permanent territories.

Thirdly, instead of coming to the Republic of Kosovo to contribute towards the normalisation of relations between the Serbian minority in Kosovo and the Albanian majority, the Serbian officials continue to exploit Kosovo Serbians as “cannon fodder” in

order to destroy Kosovo State’s sovereignty, i.e. continue with the policies of warfare and genocide against Albanians.

That is why, some circles, including Western ones, are trying in vain to decriminalise /President of Serbia Aleksander/VUČIĆ and other likeminded successors of /Slobodan/ MILOŠEVIĆ. They should know that yesterday’s devil of the Serbian policy of genocide cannot become today’s angel of democracy in Serbia or the region.

They are not refraining from these actions. On the contrary, all energies of the democratic countries, including their media and diplomatic machine, are focused to find out “facts” that are fabricated by Belgrade and the friends of the Serbian regime of MILOŠEVIĆ in Europe in order to convict the angels of Kosovo’s liberation, who were also the allies of the Euro-Atlantic forces for Kosovo’s freedom and liberation. One cannot attribute the crimes of genocidal Serbia to the angels of Kosovo’s liberation. Even if any freedom fighter were convicted, it would be the shame of the servants of policies of crime and genocide carried out against the Albanian people, children, women and old people of Kosovo. Of course, it would be the shame of all those who gave in to the despotic dictate and those that continue to enjoy this inhuman and uncivilised deed of today and tomorrow.

The freedom fighters will remain as such for ever!

I expect the LVV /Self-Determination Movement/ leading bodies, if they are functioning of course, to seriously distance themselves from “Dick MARTY’s patriotism”. If they do not do it, it means this is LVV policy.

In a few words:

Listening to what some speakers say, and the manner they say it, one cannot but feel pity about the shallowness of their public opinions. Probably, they are not to blame as they say what they know. When some people speak about the centuries of enslavement or those few years of Freedom, they vent all of their anger on those that contributed to the Freedom and Glory compared, of course, to the long centuries of enslavement!

Those contending for top state jobs or those that have already reached those heights keep doing the same thing in the media today, as if they do not have any other problems to deal with, i.e. they look for and find problems only inside the nation and state or states that the nation’s virtuous people created. Probably it is not their fault, because that’s the level of knowledge this kind of people, who never did anything good for the Homeland and nation, have. They do what they know! We should not expect too much from the ignorant! When the wise and virtuous keep silent the callow people are given free reign!

It is in the human nature to say what you know! However, time looks for wise people with integrity who need to take the positions and decision time demands. Our time demands virtuous people of high integrity!

Our glorious history tells us that: Virtuous people show their integrity in difficult times!

In conclusion: In 2010, I called Dick MARTY’s report – a racist report. Every Albanian that D. MARTY calls a PATRIOT, either in the service of the prime minister or in any other position, is a collaborator and in the service of /Slobodan/ MILOŠEVIĆ’s policy of genocide!

Nasim HARADINAJ: Shkëlzen GASHI is on the side of Serbia

28 April 2020

Nasim HARADINAJ of KLA’s OVL /War Veteran’s Organisation/, former commander in the Koshare battle, said that Shkëlzen GASHI is Serbia’s spy.

He said during the DPT te Fidani /tv show/ that /prime minister Albin/ KURTI has indirectly defended Shkëlzen GASHI after the latter said that KLA has killed Serbian civilians, according to Albanian Show.

“He might be an intellectual, however by being an intellectual you may also be a spy, i.e. be on the wrong side, on enemy’s side.”

HARADINAJ also said that Albin KURTI did not sack Shkëlzen but let him go saying that he valued his critical opinions.

Shkëlzen GASHI,

You should be shot. I pledge by the Albanian’s /promise/ that if/when/ I have the opportunity I will kill you with my own hand.

8 members of my family were killed by the Serbian criminals, and you today support them. No, never. Bear in mind! You, son of a bitch, I’ll shoot you on your forehead.

With his statements Shkëlzen GASHI gave a blow to the Kosovo state, country’s prestige, and seriously stained the Kosovo Liberation Army.

The battle led by Shkëlzen GASHI against KLA did not start today, its roots were set earlier, probably since KLA appeared as a military force. Shkëlzen GASHI is a continuation of a well-organised and well-financed structure by the Serbians, Russians, pro-Russian and pro-Serbian states. This structure is attacking KLA not because it has committed crimes, as every Kosovo citizen, as well as the EU and other world states, know that KLA did not commit crimes. It has been 10 years since the Kosovo Liberation Army was investigated by UNMIK, the Hague /Tribunal/, EULEX, local Courts, Kosovo Police, the Specialist Chambers recently, but never, in no case, not a single circumstance, did they find the faintest of suspicions, or fact, about crimes committed by KLA against anybody.

This society caste of a pro-Serbian and pro-Russian disposition are attacking KLA in order to deal a blow to Kosovo’s credibility, and gradually destroying blow by blow Kosovo’s stability as a state, causing a chain reaction in the international domain as well. Shkëlzen GASHI, together with a particular caste of intellectuals always supported by Serbia and their international backers, set up numerous trials against KLA, made up any sort of stories against them, bought up and paid more than 70 % of the witnesses to give testimony in these proceedings. This is public knowledge. In addition, some of these witnesses were killed because they revealed (deliberately or inadvertently) that they worked for these structures in order to destroy KLA, without proof or evidence, but with fabricated witnesses, as the only way to achieve the aim.

The Public opinion should be aware of one thing, i.e. the Specialist Chambers was not initiated by Dick MARTY, or any other international official, it was established under the pressure of the anti-KLA clan who recruited Shkëlzen GASHI and many other young people, and after they poisoned them with the anti-KLA hate plunged them into a terrible, denigrating, fierce and destructive campaign against KLA. Following this daily inundation of accusations, these people started preparing hundreds of reports against KLA and sent many of them to a lot of influential addressees within the international structures. After this mountain of accusations, Dick MARTY, financed and supported by Russian foreign service structures, initiated his report against Kosovo, known as “The Dick MARTY Report”. One can clearly notice in the report the accusations made by Shkëlzen GASHI and his structures against KLA, which were included in the report by Dick MARTY as “evidence” against KLA. I am saying this because the report by Dick MARTY does not contain accusations against KLA. That report contains only hate against KLA, nothing more.

Over 10 thousand UNMIK, EULEX, the Hague /Tribunal/, Specialist Chambers, local Courts’ investigators, supported probably by not small personnel of professional associates, similar in kind to Shkëlzen GASHI and their network, but also Dick MARTY and his network of associates, that also is not small, investigated KLA in order to find even the smallest shred of evidence related to KLA crimes, or even justify themselves and their work. However, 20 years passed and nothing came out of all this very unfair and inhuman investigation. I say ‘inhuman’ because they did not leave KLA alone for a single moment with slander and untruths.

The statement by Shkëlzen GASHI, the adviser of the acting prime minister of Kosovo, Albin KURTI, on T7 Television against KLA is the most serious insult against the Kosovo Liberation Army. I do not know why but even Slobodan MILOŠEVIĆ, who has also been considered as the butcher of Balkans, was more restrained in his statements compared to

Shkëlzen GASHI. The indictment without trial by Shkëlzen GASHI, the lynching and execution of KLA by slander and insinuations matches the products of Serbia’s Academy, their programs which used the killing, discrediting and elimination of opponents, disobedient structures, and all those that opposed Serbia with weapons or propaganda, as key instruments.

On my behalf and KLA’s War Veterans’ Organisation I lead, I call on the justice authorities to urgently consider the case of Shkëlzen GASHI who has accused KLA of more than 1,000 killings. I call that this case should not met with silence because we are tired of being labelled for the past 20 years as criminals by Serbia’s associates, collaborators and servants. On this occasion, we ask the Kosovo and international courts (the Specialist Chambers in this case) that Shkëlzen GASHI give what evidence he has in relation to what he publicly declared about KLA.

For 20 years KLA has been on the receiving end of biased, baseless accusations of war crimes, especially by people close to extreme right structures supported by Serbians, Russians and their backers, who did not produce a single shred of evidence. I tell everybody that we will not tolerate these insults any more if reliable arguments are not produced to the public and courts. We are tired of these heartless mercenaries coming up every day with accusations, and a repetitive rhetoric. Shkëlzen GASHI’s statement from the TV studios was a call of war, bloodshed and fratricide. Similar calls were made earlier by prime minister KURTI and his government structures. Moreover, people of Shkëlzen GASHI’s kind are never satisfied with sucking the blood and relishing on the misfortune of Albanians. Unfortunately, many withdrawals of recognitions and failures of Kosovo were a result of the destructive activities of Shkëlzen GASHI’s structure who are doing their best to harm Kosovo’s image built with pain and sacrifices by the best people of this country. I inform Shkëlzen GASHI, this anti-Albanian fanatic who choses indiscriminately his means or ways of harming his own country, that over 30 officers of the Serbian army and police have stated openly in Serbian courtrooms, but also to the broader public, that they were participants in several killings and massacres that were prepared in order to accuse KLA /instead/. The Hague Tribunal, the Specialist Chambers, local courts which have been far fiercer than the Hague Tribunal, have brought up charges against many KLA members, based without fail on slander and false testimony.

That is why they failed and will continue to fail. We understand Shkëlzen GASHI’s and his superiors’ concern. They do not feel comfortable without Serbia’s presence. We understand, and it is clear to us, that this stratum of people is turned into instruments of the lobbying and propaganda Department against the Independence of Kosovo, with headquarters in Belgrade and many centres of European countries, a job they have carried

out with considerable success so far. The Hague Tribunal former prosecutor Carla Del Ponte’s book “The Hunt: Me and the War Criminals” accuses the former-KLA of kidnapping Serbian civilians who were then transferred to the North of where their organs were removed. Carla Del Ponte makes these accusations mostly to justify her failure in the Hague /Tribunal/. Similarly, all Kosovo and the world are aware that Dick MARTY’s report for Kosovo presented to the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly was assessed in September 2011 by the Special Investigative Task Force-SITF that was employed by the European Union to carry out a full criminal investigation of the statements contained in the report by the Council of Europe rapporteur, Dick Marty. The EU Task Force Special Prosecutor, Clint Williamson, according to his public statements, did not find any evidence during his investigations, a follow up of Dick MARTY’s report, regarding the organ trafficking during the war, but also regarding other killings committed by KLA during and after the war, because Dick MARTY’s report relies on the disgusting slander, insinuations and phantasy of these people who were obliged and violated to present them to the stitched-up trials against KLA. Like Carla Del Ponte’s book, at a certain moment appeared also Veton SURROI’s book “Snake’s Feet”. The title of the book shows that he is against the political elite created in Kosovo. It is part of a multitude of books and evidence produced in the fortune-telling houses of Serbia, full of baseless anger and hate against KLA. These are the teachings of Veton SURROI, Isuf BUXHOVI, Eqrem KRYEZIU, (in addition, on behalf of the secret Committee for war crimes the latter collected “testimonies” against KLA, and handed them over to the courts.

In most cases these testimonies were taken by violence from a pitiful structure, most of them notorious collaborators of Serbia). These lessons were learned by Shkëlzen GASHI and his kind, a product of Kumrovec /school of political learning in former Yugoslavia in the birthplace of Josip Broz TITO/, who carried out with loyalty and enthusiasm the program of Slobodan MILOŠEVIĆ and other followers of Serbian radical movement.

We have endured enough. You and the Serbian structures are behind the killing schemes during and after the war in order to blame KLA. Do not forget, you have torn down your own mask. The Kosovo Liberation Army taught Serbia and Yugoslavia of that time a lesson on how to fight and achieve freedom. It is teaching Serbia, Europe and the world a lesson in state building despite the difficulties put up by this anti-national class. The Kosovo Liberation Army has lost no battles so far. Of course, we will also win the battle against the enemies that are destroying Kosovo’s progress and future, instigated by Serbia and its allies.

Hysni GUCATI. Chairman of KLA’s War Veterans’ Organisation.
