Klink: Not even in Yugoslavia's time have people stayed in custody so long

“What I've heard is that, although there may be some game here from the Special Court that is looking for from the Kosovo Police, to offer guarantees and if they haven't provided the necessary guarantee to our police and the institutions of the country, of course they would have to do so, because people stay there for a year, nor in Yugoslavia's time have people stayed so long in custody without getting caught, and of course our institutions should have done more to protect themselves in freedom until the trial begins against them<1> he declared.

Klinaku, is seeing it as a game of the Special Court, their request to the Kosovo Police to provide information about its authorisations and capacities to implement the conditions, dealing with the possible provisional release from the detention of KLA executives.

However, according to him, domestic institutions must work harder for the accused to be protected in freedom until the trial against them begins.

“It is a shame for them that police cannot make the defence in freedom, a court that is Kosovo and say that the Kosovo Police can't guarantee freedom protection, it's their quadudo-polics that really except that it's the political court does these things politically because in this case it in a far form rejects a state that is called in its name. Kosovo police can guarantee freedom protection, better than EULEX”, Klink has declared.

He has also talked about family visits to The Hague, until he says they are regular.

“They have all paid visits, all had visits from family members, at first they could not obtain visas from the Gucati family because they had only Kosovo citizenship, and for Kosovo citizens, the visa did not give the Netherlands. It is estimated that the payment of the family's travel to those charged there is paid to the Ministry of Justice. The visit is being made, yesterday was Nasim's wife, Hysni's wife, Hysni's son, and others --”, he said.

On the other hand, Klink said witness Zenka Pumper has nothing to testify to, Gucatt and Haradinaj, since according to him, Pumper is speaking only according to reports the investigators have given him.

Klink said Pumper was present at OVL- The KLA, just the day the raid took place, which was also a leading operation, which according to Klinkau, these procedures are being made for the purposes of benefits.

There's been some procedures that didn't even need, and yesterday the first witness started, Mrs. Pumper, who, as the lawyers of Gucatt and Haradinaj complained, didn't have what to testify about because she didn't attend here because she only speaks on the basis of some reports they gave to the investigators at our offices, and she speaks on the basis of reports they gave her, but the witness to be a loan to the tribunal would be the ones who were present here and who were their boss. This witness Mrs. Pumper took part in the OVL-KLA only during the day, when it was the raid here and was also the leader of the operation, and was correctly brought”.

“... It's the problem that these guys are deliberately hearing procedures, taking advantage of themselves that they get huge salaries for themselves there, and there's no need to be held in prison for a year without starting a court process, when things are known to have been here and we've been doing them with conferences, and we've had our own security cameras”, he told EO.
