Special Prosecution Considers Consistent Banning of Rexhep Selimi's Jakup Krasniqi

Through responses related to the provisions of Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi for reviewing the preliminary judge's decision regarding the detention measure, the SPS has said continuing detention of Selimi's Krasniqi remains necessary.

According to the SPS, the trial of the preliminary procedure has earlier found the suspicion given that the accused committed criminal acts against administration of justice within the jurisdiction of the Specialised Chambers, reports “Justice Vought”.

On the other hand, it is said that the judge had found grounds to believe that they pose a risk of escape, the basis of preventing the management of criminal procedures and that they would repeat or try to repeat criminal acts.

According to the SPS, all these findings of the preliminary judge continue to stand, so detention of the same must be continued.

A statement by KLA War Veterans Association Chairman Faton Klinku is also mentioned in this letter, as in what was required to continue detention against Hysni Gucatt and Nasim Haradinaj.

On June 4th 2021, Faton Klinku, the task leader of the KLA War Veterans' Association, gave an interview with which he promised to publish confidential documents of Kosovo's Specialised Chambers in The Hague if he wants to own them”, it is said in the letter.

According to ZPS, this is extraordinary, as Haradinaj's Gucati is being prosecuted in front of the Specialised Chambers for identical behaviour.

The “that the law is no limit to the fraud of the task of the KLA War Veterans Association's duty is the emblems of lengths that supporters of the accused are willing to go to prevent those procedures”, it is further said.

Otherwise, on November 9th, in their first appearances, Hashim Thaci's Jakup Krasniqi has been declared innocent of charges placed on them.

Wessel has been declared in his presentation on November 10th, as has Selimi on November 11th.

The incident against Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselin, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi is confirmed on October 26, 2020.

According to the alleged indictment, at least between March 1998 and September 1999, Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Rexhep Selimi, Jakup Krasniqi and other members of the joint criminal enterprise had the common goal of securing and exercising control over all of Kosovo through methods involving intimidation, mistreatment, violence exercise and illegal elimination of those considered opponents.

“Set up these opponents included persons who were, or who were considered to have been: (a) collaborators or forces, officials or state institutions of RFJ, or who (b) otherwise did not support the purposes or methods of the KLA and later QPK, among whom persons linked to the LDK and Serbs, Roma and persons of other nationalities (joinly, non-combatorsors). This common goal included crimes of persecution, imprisonment, arrest and arbitrary or illegal arrest, other inhumane acts, cruel treatment, torture, murder and forced disappearance of persons”, the indictment said.

In addition, Azem Syla, Lahi Brahimaj, Fatmir Limaj, Sylejman Selimi, Rrustem Mustafa, Shukri Buja, Latif Gashi and Sabit Geci are also mentioned.

“Among the other members of the joint criminal enterprise were Azem SYLA, Lahi BRAHIMY, Fatmir LIJAY, Sylejman SELING, Rrustem MUSTAFA, Shukri BUJA, Latif GASI and Sabit G ECI, as well as some other political and military leaders of the KLA and the KPK, including other members of the General Staff; ministers and deputy ministers of the QPK; commanders of KLA and QPK areas, deputy commanders of the area and other members of the command headquarters; commanders of brigades and units; commanders of police and intelligence services of the KLA and QPK; other KLA soldiers and other QP officials, as well as others acting in the name of the QKK and the QKK (KC) -- in the joint operation of the QKK (K) along with the CKK (K) HACH IN, Kadri V ESELIN, Rexhep SELEM and Jakup KRASNYYNY, jointly, NKP members. All these individuals, with their actions and inactions, contributed to the achievement of common purpose. As an alternative, some or all of these individuals were not members of the joint criminal enterprise, but were used by members of the joint criminal enterprise to commit crimes for the realisation of the common goal (with members of the NKP, jointly members and NKP instruments)”, the accusation says.
