Editor Waiting for Justice

Kosovo Assembly Speaker Kadri Veseli recently launched his bid to investigate and try Serbian crimes through an international tributal. The cry of war victims in Kosovo finally entered the Kosovo Assembly Hall, following a long but significant absence.

This call for justice against them had also been lacking in Kosovo's dialogue with Serbia in Brussels, as it rightly criticised Glauk Konjufca, deputy of Vetevendosje.

I've often heard the word "cocompromis" but never the word "right '%x1" he said at today's session.

But all this effort began in the worst possible way. On the morning of May 16th, PDK deputy Flora Brovina made a terrible political and human error. It was shocking because he violated the dignity of other victims of these crimes. They faced contempt and stigmatization only because of their faint images of sexual rape. This provoked even more stigmatization. But later it was learned that the error was deeper because the scene shown in the photograph turned out to be part of a pornographic film, and words spoken with compassion by Brovina resulted in lies. This will undoubtedly manifest in the silent dailyness of our society in a lack of empathy and trust for victims in question.

The foundations of this effort were thus tempered with the habitality of shocking carelessness.

But why did it take a strong image to gain public attention? For one thing, the seriousness of this initiative had to be reinforced. Even internationals. Twenty years of silence is a lot. However, the image may have been viewed as missing even within the country, since through the constant stigmatization of rape victims, society first shows the lack of reality and gravity of such an act.

Today's session was a continuation of the last session for the international tribunal. Two of the three opposition parties -- the LDK and Vetevendosje -- left the hall protesting Brovina and the PDK's carelessness. Seeking political responsibility. The move is fair as long as it attacks the PDK, but it's unfair because it attacks the rest of society. They left the very room where the families of the missing and other victims of war were located. They came out of the hall thinking of the political protagonism of Kadri Wessel, The PDK, Flora Brovina, their mistake and electorate. Not the victims of war. Not their family. And not the idea that this tribunal wouldn't be done. If they were to leave on these issues, they would not be present at the May 16 session.

This resulted in renewed political unity. For party accounts to be dominated as rulers of our political reality. A chaotic reality lacking overall sensitivity to state interests. The PDK has long witnessed the same disconcentive and disregardful approach. Unfortunately, her bad example is being followed by other parties.

It is true that the likelihood of creating an international tribunal is actually small. Small ones four days ago. But on the other hand, it is also true that the pains of thousands of victims in Kosovo make them sick for justice. The lack of justice for war crimes committed by Serbian forces will remain within the political scene of the public sphere in general, possibly after all, thus causing major trouble to the country. If not today, even after five years, ten or twenty more, someone will come out and seek wrong. Oppressed pain becomes oppressive pain in democracy, as history has not stopped teaching us. But, if not international tribullal, or at least an attempt at international tribullal, that is, resolution, if the Kosovo trial does not have the capacity to try and investigate those crimes, then what is the solution?

Opposition parties have a thousand other areas and other problems where they can fight politically PDK and other government parties. Even so, the future of this party does not look good. While, the photo scandal made by Mrs. Brovina, being heavier than any other, will rightly remain a party burden led by Wessel in the upcoming elections. There's nowhere to get away from it!

The dropout of the session proves once again the inability of Albanian political parties to share their narrow party accounts with our national accounts. And so, in daily chaos, justice for war in Kosovo is doomed to be lacking. /Periscope
