Deportation of gylenists, American Embassy has an order for Kosovo leaders

In a statement to the media, the embassy expresses its satisfaction with establishing the parliamentary investigative commission, which uncovered legal violations related to the incident, despite efforts to prevent its work.

The findings of the commission, which suggest 31 legal or procedural violations by the Kosovo Intelligence Agency, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and other institutions, raise concerns about fraud on the part of key security agencies, as well as the sensitivity of the security sector to political manipulation, the statement said.

The American Embassy in Pristina calls on Kosovo institutions to ensure full responsibility for anyone who violates the law and reminds Kosovo leaders that security institutions should act only within the constitutional authority, depending on the rule of law.

The “is not about the guilt or innocence of individuals, but the clear avoidance of Kosovo's legal processes on the part of Kosovo politicians. Political pressure in the security sector to break Kosovo's law is a scandalous violation of democratic values. We promote full transparency in the security sector and in running external affairs to prevent inadequate interventions by Kosovo politicians in the future”, the embassy statement said.
