Kadri Wessel's lawyer, Ben Emmerson, has read a statement by Wessel that delivered it on the day he arrived in The Hague.

I think the day he surrendered, he submitted a statement that I wanted to read”, Emmerson said.

He read only:

The process is there to find the truth, we have nothing to fear from the truth, we have nothing to fear or prevent this process. The integrity of the process must be respected by all at all times.

This tribunal has been established in Kosovo's parliament and is incarnation of the people, although it is in The Hague, this court is part of our law, we should not have any kind of resentment towards the internationals working in this Tribunal.

This tribunal is part of Kosovo's journey towards state-building, towards strengthening the state and we have to take this process to the end”, Emmerson read. /PERISCOP/
