International Studies Institute in Albania in Support of Thaci

The Institute of International Studies in Albania through a script published in Albanian media has raised multiple questions about the Special Prosecutor's Office's motives to publish the indictment handed over to Hashim Thaci and Kadri Veselin, yet not confirmed by the pre-procedure judge.

<x0) Can we really believe that prosecutors did not predict the devastating effect such an action would have on this meeting and in the entire process”, said the Tirana Times script.

According to this scripture, there is no point in having a national security adviser at the White House expecting a person who knows he would soon be charged with war crimes by an American prosecutor.

“Experts can only speculate what exactly is happening in the fight between the Trump administration and the health institutions, as well as in the transatlantic struggle for dominance that has produced a dangerous and negative dynamic. Why this tectonic shake in a region where the West has invested large sums in the army, political, economic and diplomatic capacities”, writes from the Times of Tirana.

According to the Institute of International Studies of Albania, these questions must be answered as the stability, security and progress of the state of Kosovo now depends on these developments, on the fate of the charges and the potential trial.

The response also speaks of the EU's failure in the country of visa liberalisation for Kosovo.

“The stability of the entire Western Balkans, as well as the progress of any process for regional co-operation, is at risk due to a recent episode of sagas that includes UCK leaders in court, until those who committed serious crimes in Kosovo, Croatia's Bonja have yet to face justice”.

Hopes for any dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia, and any reconciliation between Albanians and Serbs are more secular than ever.
