Vjosa Osmani has often spoken proudly about her schooling and engagement in politics, but she has never talked about the beginning of her career, when in 2000-2004 she had worked in UNMIK, Mitrovica and Pristina.
Osmani had started work as a translator in UNMIK at the age of 17, a strange fact about her relationship with UNMIK after the war.
Its résumés, which are published on Pristina University page (https://juridiku.un-pr.edu/Personel/Personel-axamic/Mr-sc-Vyosa-Osmani.spx) reveal that from 2000 to 2004, Vjosa Osmani has been engaged in the Department of Justice in UNMIK, writes Periscopi.
In this department, as writes in these CV, Vjosa Osmani had offered legal and administrative assistance to international judges and prosecutors, as well as personally worked and participated in investigations and judgments, including those for genocide and war crimes in Kosovo.
Moreover, she was also involved in handling complex legal information, reports the CV.
Vjosa Osmani's résumés, which testify in detail to its work on UNMIK, can be read here:
Also, in another Vjosa Osman document, Curriculum Vitae, she has cited engagement in the UNMIK Department of Justice as an experience, acknowledging that she has translated court documents and witness statements.
Osmani, also in this document, has claimed to have worked with different ethnic groups in Kosovo.
The UN mission in Kosovo, U n NMIC, in charge of protecting human rights, had largely investigated the kidnappings and murders of Serbs, following the war in Kosovo.
In mid-June 1999 and December 2008, UNMIK police and international prosecutors, who were involved in investigating crimes under international law, were obliged to probe deeply the disappearance and violent kidnappings of Serbs.
EULEX, according to official figures, has inherited from UNMIK 1,200 war crimes cases allegedly committed by Albanians.
UMIK's investigation, as stated, was then focused 90 percent on alleged KLA crimes, while 10 percent on Serbian crimes.
At the time that Vjosa Osmani was engaged in UNMIK, shortly after the war, charges had been filed and arrests were carried out against figures of high profiles of the Kosovo Liberation Army. Among them were Commander of The NLA for the Llap Operative Zone, Rrustem Mustafa-Remi, as well as Commanders Latif Gashi and Daut Haradinaj.
Vjosa Osmani was employed in UNMIK in this sensitive and serious task on 17 April 2000, still not having 18 years, which sets a legal precedent for employment at such an age. /Periscope
