Justice ministry shows whether to have international investigation into Kumanovo case

For Kumanovo's case, there may really be an international investigation.

Media in Macedonia quoted Justice Minister Bilent Salij as stating that the executive has expressed willingness to engage foreign experts with the aim of fully clarifying the issue.

Under its competencies, the Ministry of Justice, Salij said, will actively help this process. According to some lawyers, the court ruling has serious procedural violations, which are found on the defensive side. In the investigation, as they say, not everyone is involved, especially former government officials who are allegedly linked to the convicts.

Experts in question raise doubt that the court made the decision by relying on the selective facts it has handed over to it and say there are other evidence that has never been presented. France's Ambassador to Macedonia, Christian Timonier, said the international investigation into suspicious cases is possible, but, according to him, justice should initially be sought in domestic institutions, broadcast Top Channel.

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj called on Friday for such an investigation after learning that 37 indictees in the case of the braves' “Lagen” were given 746 years in prison; 8 of the sentences were in life imprisonment.

Only four of the accused were released. The court's decision in Skopje sparked protests in Pristina, Peja and Gjilan. Rallyors seem convinced that indictees are victims of a former Macedonian government plot.
