Yasar: Judicial, executive mostly violate human rights in Kosovo

Even in the first three months of this year, the judicial system continues to remain the biggest human rights offender in Kosovo. Thus declares ombudsman Hilmi Jashari, who in an interview for Kosova Preis, says that procrastinating the judicial processes continues to remain a concern for Kosovo citizens.

Jashari also stressed that behind the judiciary the executive is one of the powers most are violating human rights in the country.

The largest human rights breach in Kosovo can be identified on the basis of the number of complaints we have accepted at the ombudsman institution. From at least days ago when I arrived in 2015 to this day in all annual reports, including the one that has been handed over to the Kosovo Parliament, and a few days ago we handed in physical copies with all the reports we've made during last year's Kosovo Assembly, in large measure, but almost balanced or even identical are the judicial system by one hand and the executive one involving the entire country administration, including the ministries and municipal authority. However, courts with a smaller rating or percentage have always preceded the number of complaints filed at the ombudsman institution. Citizens' claims for violations mainly refer to the justice system”, he said.

The ombudsman says concern remains the fact that even after the execution of any ruling, the judicial system does not ensure that justice will go to the country.

Jashari added that the state must establish a procedure law on these judicial procrastinations through which citizens have the opportunity to compensate.

He even said that on the basis of their analyses the procedures of a judicial process in Kosovo last up to eight and a half years.

The main concerns have to do with procrastinating judicial procedures on the ground and taking years to criminal terms, whether civilian or second problem has been not to execute the full judicial decision that even when a decision is made, it doesn't guarantee that, however, justice will go to the country, because then problems of non-involvement start me. ... It would have to be necessary for Kosovo itself, our state to create a law that we have demanded procedure by which all citizens who have dragged into our courts have been guaranteed compensation from the side of the state, because it is a violation of human rights and a fair citizenship, because the state has not carried out a case in its own court, Jas.

In the ombudsman institution from January until today, 588 complaints have been addressed.

This year's January “from 588 complaints recorded in the ombudsman institution, which then split into two individual groups of complaints concerning an individual and group complaints involving more citizens. Some of them are also exoficio investigations that we have opened with self-incitative”, the ombudsman said. /B. Ibishi/
