KMDLNj: Since we offer security to 300 inmates from Danmiarcha Special Court mock our police

KMDLNj says this agreement legalises the discrimination of the convicts in Kosovo.  

The case with the Special Court, which has considered that Kosovo Police have not offered enough evidence for the security of house custody of the prosecution in The Hague, is also mentioned in the report.

Full response of KMDLNY:

Following Danish Minister Hacepup's statement for media that the claim was finalised with the Justice Ministry for “renting 300 prison cells in Kosovo to be sentenced by third states and held in Denmark's” Kingdom prisons, the Kosovo Justice Ministry was declared, though these talks were held in a complete lack of transparency and accountability. In opinion, only information is coming to reason on this agreement by presenting it as a major achievement that brings many material benefits and that the Kosovo Correcting Service greatly exalts the fact that Denmark's Kingdom has chosen it in great competition among other correctional services. According to data this agreement, it is still unwritten and envisioned in the Kosovo Assembly with 2/3 of the votes of the Parliamentary deputies in the 10-year term provided 210m euros for Kosovo, as if other undeserved benefits were mentioned. The location where 300 convicted by the Kingdom of Denmark are allocated is the detention centre in Gjilan. In the absence of full text of the Agreement, KMDLNj as 20-year-old and at the same time a supporter of the Kosovo Correcting Service highlights some parts of the agreement that, not that they do not affirm the work and independence of the USKK, but that they present the setback of this service by returning us to the time the USKK was managed by internationals. In the Republic of Kosovo, the legal basis for dealing with persons deprived of freedom, respectively, is the Law for Execution of Criminal Sanctions that applies throughout the territory of Kosovo.

The detention centre in Gjilan is designed to place detained persons and only a small number (with lower, professional sentences needed by Q. P or move from other centers as separate because of disciplinary violations) of convicts may be placed in this Center. From the human rights aspect, Q.P. in Gjilan fails to meet the conditions for convicts who would suffer in prison despite the fact that Q.P. in Gjilan is the most complete centre and the most maintained centre in Kosovo. To turn Q.P. into the Gjilan Center, it takes a lot of tools and a lot of time as if 200 (approximately) have to be moved and sentenced to other centers. The fact that most of those deprived of freedom but even corrective staff are from the Anamorawa region, the transfer of prisoners to other centres will make family visits difficult and the right of those deprived of freedom will be violated that <x0dening should suffer as close as possible to the family and the place where they live in order to preserve family ties as a key condition for their re-compression...”. The conditions and treatment of the convicts who will be placed at this centre will be incomparably better than in other centres managed by the USKK, which puts approximately 1600-1800 deprived of freedom in Kosovo, about their number. Inequity and discrimination will also be in dealing with Kosovo's correctional staff.

The Law on Execution of Criminal Sanctions, which is the only legal basis regulating the treatment of convicted persons in Kosovo, would not be implemented at Q.P. in Gjilan, where the Law for Execution of Criminal Sanctions of Denmark's Kingdom would be in effect, which represents legal and logical noses when in one country two laws are implemented for the execution of penal sanctions of two different states that exclude each other as the particular form of content. It is such a similar agreement between Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway, but they are EU members and work according to EU standards. At the time when maximum standards for dealing with those deprived of freedom are binding in these states, in Kosovo, which is not an EU member, the minimum standards for dealing with convicts are valid. Now, if the agreement is ratified by the Parliament, in Kosovo we will have discriminatory treatment of persons deprived of freedom at Q.P. in Gjilan we will have maximum treatment under Denmark's laws while in other centres treatment according to minimum standards. Of the human rights aspect is a serious discrimination that should not be allowed, and especially should not be justified by the deputies of the Kosovo Assembly so far in view that, in the absence of the legal basis in Kosovo for this agreement, through amendment to the Assembly as an international agreement, efforts are being made to impose on the country's laws that apply today to persons deprived of Kosovo's freedom and corrective Service.

The convicts who would be transferred from Denmark to Gjilan Prison are from third countries, and if they were at lower risk rates they would not be transferred to Kosovo.

Or, if they were not, they would be sent to the detention center in Gjilan but to the Smreconica correcting Centre, where there are better conditions and greater space.

The state of Denmark has trouble managing with these prisoners, so “is renting 300 cells in Kosovo “and this is becoming like setting up a package for tourist holidays, and on the basis of state power is also determined status and treatment of convicts, these in Denmark will make the safe point, while those of Kosovo will struggle to try to gain a right even elementary. Now, the convicts coming from Denmark will have better quality food, better health services, longer visits and much more benefits as if they will benefit much easier and faster benefits of benefits, parole or suspended punishment. There's a situation going on like in China's reports with Hongkong, one state, two systems. If this agreement is alive, then by the total number of convicts in Kosovo, 2025 % will be from Denmark, which is a huge burden for the SHKK ʹs, which, after all, will suffer the most and face more problems for the fact that governments sometimes change even the ministers, while international agreements remain and must be implemented. From the aspect of human rights, equal and undisputed treatment of those deprived of freedom, this agreement violates all achievements of the USKK and organisations that monitor this service and have been part of the very successful walk of this service that despite continued political interference, all governments, has managed to survive and strengthen.

The detention centres and the Kosovo Correcting Centre are the very important link of Kosovo's security chain and the infallible state sovereignty mechanism.

So to hand over this sovereignty in the 10-year term to another state for 210m euros is a major contribution to violating that sovereignty so far ago that with the greater organisation and planning of the resource revival that the USKK has, without any problem, it would be achieved and even exceeded that many for those who do not know the nature of the work of the SHKK were brought to the head ( hey 210 million!!! are in question ) whereas for those who are familiar with the work of the SHKK it is very clear that this will divide or fragmentise the SHKK by strategically damaging it. It's unsurpassed to think that Denmark's Correcting Service has no accommodation capacity to convict as long as they could have made such an agreement with Holland that has many untapped spaces. Kosovo's corrective service currently uses approximately 50 %s of the accommodation capacities, so it has been the recommendation of KMDLNI which, to manage more easily and cheaper maintenance, they have been rented to interested partners in Kosovo for development of other businesses or activities, but in no way agrees with this agreement that brings 300 problem convicts to Kosovo that could not be managed in Denmark.

In the correctional institutions that are under the responsibility of the SHKK, there are foreign citizens, and the number is not large but that cause trouble, both for the correct staff and the monitors. Kosovo does not need to be imprisoned by other states, which are neither citizens of Kosovo, nor did they perform works in Kosovo, nor have they been sentenced by the courts of Kosovo. Kosovo needs to sign agreements that enable the transfer of prisoners, citizens of Kosovo who are suffering punishment in other states, and especially those in Albania, Northern Macedonia, Serbia, Montenegro and other states and vice versa.

It is unsurpassed the claim that Kosovo has been chosen as a country that meets conditions of security and treatment for convicts from Denmark and, at the same time, specialised rooms in the most uncorrupted, unfair and immoral manner, mock the contests Kosovo Police have given to secure the terms of Kosovo's house arrest or prisons to be held as hostages at The Hague's Pre-burg Centre. Therefore, Kosovo, as a permanent victim of implementing dual standards by internationals, should in no way allow the implementation of double standards in the treatment and implementation of human rights standards deprived of freedom in Kosovo! And all in the end, KMDLNj asks what will happen to Denmark's convicts after they complete the Kosovo sentence?! Will they integrate into Kosovo, return to Denmark, or return to the countries of origin?!
