Delawi agrees with O'Connell that Jabir Zhark's return to Kosovo is shameful

During yesterday, U.K. Ambassador to Kosovo Ruari O'Connell has sharply criticised Kosovo's institutions for Jabir Zhark's case and has called for taking measures, as he has said, that criminals in the future should not flee the country.

US Ambassador to Kosovo Greg Delaway, through a tweet, has said he supports what O'Connell has said.

Jacob Zharku has been sentenced to three years in prison for his crimes. His return to Kosovo is shameful. But the real shame is that over six years after he was allowed to leave justice, nothing was done to prevent other criminal politicians from doing the same. I see no reason for a legal opportunity that allows criminals to leave the country and live abroad instead of time in prison. I hope government justice reforms will address this vacuum, to help those police and prosecutors who are serious in the fight against organised crime. Britain needs Kosovo to be a serious partner in the fight against corruption and organised crime”, O'Connell wrote yesterday.
