Three charges filed against former KLA members are awaiting verdict from the Court's Specialised Chambers in The Hague. Although in smaller capacities, this institution has not stopped working even during the pandemic.
It has been a long time since The Hague's Specialised Prosecutor has sent the last invitation to Kosovo for interviews, writes news.
Over the past few months, The Hague's legal body has advanced its level of work. In February, this prosecutor sent two charges to court, and in April he sent one. For all three cases, a French judge was appointed to be a court of preliminary procedure.
And although more than two months have already passed since the establishment of the first charges, Nicolas Guillou, the French presiding judge has not yet made a decision to confirm or overthrow them.
This is confirmed by Angela Greep from the Special Court's office for media. She says Guillo has six months to make a decision regarding the charges in question.
A preliminary procedure judge was appointed in February to review the charges submitted by the Special Prosecutor and again in April to review an indictment. According to the Procedure and Evidence Order, the pre-procedure judge has six months to decide whether to confirm or cease the charges. If an indictment is confirmed, it will become public”, Greep has released the news.net.
Asked whether the Special has made all preparations to start with the verdicts, Greep has confirmed this, while saying that the institution she belongs to is functional to ensure fair and impartial procedure.
“Yes, the KSC is fully functional and has all the measures and facilities in operation to ensure a secure, fair and impartial procedure”, Greep said at the end.
The Special Court case is one of the most current and sensitive topics in Kosovo, as the subject of its investigation has already become some of the main names of Kosovo politics.
The question of its abolition, or not voting the extension of the mandate in the Kosovo Parliament, was also settled in the opinion, but according to the Special Discensor Tome Gashi, the legislature can cut the Special Job, because such a thing as he says is not in advance.
These are political issues without any legal effect. I think if the law is read, it's obvious that the Parliament can stop the Special's work, because it has received the mandate from this Parliament, but the Assembly is not the first to interrupt its work. So the Assembly can cut itself off when they see it has no effect to deal with certain criminal cases. Neither can the deputies of the Kosovo Assembly make it a failure to follow the mandate or interrupt the special work because it is not required of the Parliament, if the Kosovo Assembly is able to proceed or not, I believe not 82 deputies, but I believe that the Albanian majority would be against this court, because they have seen that the courts do not bring anything good”, Gashi says.
