Dan Everts writes about Thaci and Wessel in the Dutch media: International Intrigus complicate EU position

The EU will mediate this week in ending the recent Balkan conflict between Kosovo and Serbia. The result is uncertain, warns Daan Everts of the largest Dutch medium.

It's extremely random that the Special Prosecutor's prosecution before the Court. Kosovo in The Hague against President Thaci, other political leaders in Kosovo (crimes against humanity, war crimes) was made public in late June, according to him shortly before crucial consultations between Serbs and Kosovars began in Washington.

Daan Everts, former diplomats, was among the others at the helm of the mission. The OSCE in Albania and Kosovo.

“Who would benefit from the destruction of this Serb-Kosovo consultation? Europe, which does not want America resolves the last remaining conflict in the Balkans? Americans who want to deny Trump an external success? Third smiling parties taking advantage of the testimony of the western inadequacy” ask Everts, then responding to these issues as follows:

Doubt
Allegations of unexpected reporting arose about the fact that the crime charge had not yet been confirmed by Tribunal's investigative judge Kosovo (TK). A very abnormal condition of cases that jeopardise the credibility of this court.

Prosecutor's Press Notification Special explains that Thaci and the other defendants secretly tried to prevent the flow of justice without giving any authority, leaving evidence. Indeed, Kosovo is long discussing that after five fruitless years it is time to transfer it Tribunalin, which is officially part of the Kosovo judicial system in Pristina. President Thaci has also called for this, with much sincerity, as are the letters addressed to various government leaders.

Trafficking in Organs
The extraordinary variety of events related to the charges also stems from other doubts about Kosovo's Tribunal. This is about the history of the court. Starts with a report (at the end of 2010) Dick Marty, Swiss Council member Europe, in which he accuses Thaci and Army Liberation of Kosovo (UÇK) for nothing less than trafficking the organs of imprisoned Serbs and Albanian collaborators. The report was provoked by an unjustified indictment in the same direction made by Carla del Ponte, the former chief prosecutor at the Yugoslav Court. Marty's report, as any open - minded reader, is completely substandard and contains largely allusions, baseless statements and emotional statements.

However, the Council of Europe adopted a resolution one afternoon, accepting Marty's report and recommending an institutional escort. This eventually led to the creation of the Tribunal.

Initially, there is considerable doubt as to how a clinic in the harsh North might be guided Albania, which would remove organs (from prisoners, without their desire) and then sell them. In addition to needed specialized knowledge and resources, there is a demand for motivation.

In the period from 1998 to 1999, KLA leaders were fully dependent on Western support for their fight for freedom against Serbia, militarily superior. How irrational it would be to risk that support by knowingly committing inhumane crimes.

Financial motives could not have played a role because U The CK was heavily supported by its Kosovo diaspora and other sympathies at the time.

There are no wars without war crimes, not even in Kosovo. They must be judged. However, showing political influence and prejudice must be avoided. Early charges have sparked violent reactions in Serbia, Kosovo, from party to Belgrade up to desperate ones in Pristina. In all this turmoil, it remains important to remember that there is no moral equivalent between the crimes of the Serbian Army, militia and police (the state-controlled ethnic cleansing; 1 million Kosovo Albanians expelled; 10,000 to 15,000 killed) and those of armed resistance Kosovars (actions of local ethnic revenge; 100,000 Kosovo Serbs who fled; nearly 500 victims).

Geopolitical Consequences
The geopolitical consequences of the sudden conclusion of the Serbian-Kosovo dialogue are uncertain. The question is whether a renewed European initiative, with a summit Friday under the auspices of President Macron and Chancellor Merkel, and the resumption of dialogue next Sunday led by EU Foreign Representative Josep Borrell, can repair the damage. So far, Europe has been largely divided and powerless in its decision-making for Kosovo, its independence and pro-European aspirations. The situation remains dangerously unstable at the moment. Because of the curious maneuvering of Prosecution Specially, the recent unresolved Balkan conflict is also part of the Euro-American irritability plate. In favor of Russia and China both extremely active in the Balkans.
