Kosovo lawyer for indicting Serbia for genocide: There will be persecution, troop cover and transport.

Kosovo lawyer Taulant Hodaj believes in the indictment, which Prime Minister Albin Kurti, along with President Vjosa Osmani, will freeze Serbia for genocide against the people of Kosovo in the last war, will include persecution of Albanians, hiding troops and transporting them to Serbia.

Hodaj, in an interview for the medium Al Jazeera has said that the evidence provided by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), where it proves there was a plan of institutions in Serbia for the systematic expulsion of Albanians from Kosovo, including hiding troops and transporting them to Serbia, will be part of the indictment.

“I believe that evidence provided by the ICTY proves that there was a plan of institutions in Serbia for the systematic expulsion of Albanians from Kosovo, including hiding troops and transporting them to Serbia. Such issues and other similar issues form the basis for a judicial process. There are other trials and other events that will be well documented and related to the” trial, attorney Hodaj has declared.

Hodaj, who is part of the list of accredited lawyers in Kosovo's Specialised Chambers in The Hague, has said such an indictment should not be linked to the continuation of the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue.

“I believe that seeking justice and punishing those who have committed war crimes, including genocide, should not be an obstacle to the fact that such an issue will be addressed and set up by an international forum, in this case the JND”, he has stated in the interview.

Among other things, he has said that since Kosovo is not part of the United Nations, it should consult any member state operating in the name of Kosovo. On the way, Hodaj has seen Albania be the first choice, but also countries like the Netherlands and Great Britain, which he says have greater tradition in international law.
