Mehmeti has said that the fact that they are placed on this list does not imply that there is legal basis for carrying out action against them, but that he has indicated that if they have information related to crime then there will be actions.
If the prosecution asks us, we will act. If we come across information connected with crime, we'll still act but only because they're on the blacklist we don't have that opportunity to act because we don't have legal grounds. But if the prosecution estimates that those acts represent criminal acts we are absolutely available to act and will act towards anyone in need of”, Mehmet said on Friday, December 24th, during a report to the Commission on Security and Defence Affairs.
On 8 December, the US Treasury Department announced it has placed on the list of sanctions, the deputy head of the Serbian List, unlike the main party of Serbs in Kosovo, Milan Radojic, businessman from northern Kosovo, Zvonko Veselinovic, his brother, Zarko and 10 other related persons.
According to American law, with their introduction to the sanctions list, properties they may have acquired illegally are usually blocked and American citizens are forbidden to cooperate with in any way.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that “these sanctions target the perpetrators of corruption, in line with Executive Order 138181818x1>, which is based on the Global Act of Awareness for Human Rights, known as the Magnitsky Act.
