Concern: Close to a thousand cases of domestic violence during 2018 in Pristina

In this case it was said that only last year, there have been 832 reported cases in Pristina as a cause of domestic violence. And the second battle is being seen in the respective institutions.

Despite confirming the participation of Justice Minister Abelard Tahiri and the Internal Affairs officer Ekrem Mustafa, they were not present at this conference, however, as such dedicated to these institutions.

Director of the Organization I AJECT, Luljeta Aliu, said the lack of ministers shows their commitment to this sensitive issue for our society.

According to Aliu, if institutions fail to offer protection to those who experience violence, then their legitimacy to exist also fails.

She said that in cases where cases are reported in relevant institutions, major violations are being made, which she said is the second battle.

Ombudsman Hilmi Jashari has indicated that domestic violence is a triple problem in Kosovo society. Jashar added that as a result of domestic violence and non-state action, there have been cases that have resulted in fatality.

While Fatos Rushiti, political adviser to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, stressed the need for involvement of other ministries in dealing with domestic violence.

Otherwise, only last year were four women killed by his mates.
