Kadri Kastrati: In Skalla Séka had concentration camp

“Salih Mustafa and his unit have been positioned in Pristina and have had two main tasks: to convey the actions of Serb militia, paramilitary and police towards the Albanian population and report daily to the Lapi Operative Zone Command and supplies with drugs and other things that we should take to Pristina. Brigade 153 was positioned in Zlace. Given physical and territorial ties with Pristina, he has been in constant contact with the commander of the 153 Brigade who has been Adem Shehu, Fatmir Sopi and Shemsi Veselin”.

There was no concentration camp, I guarantee. I think there were several objects in Zlata that had a function of accommodation and command of the 153 Lap Operative Zone. If they're referring to the object where it was operational as a concentration camp, I think they're very wrong”

Except for the Llapishica that we've admitted there was a detention center, not prison, where people who did abuses during the war have been detained as theft, population shopping, or co-bortionist who have damaged us with different information. The same have been kept from 24 hours to several weeks, but no one has suffered there. Having admitted their mistake and promised that they would not behave as they did have been released”.

He said there were some old houses in Zlata, which served as bedrooms for the soldiers of Brigade 153.

Kastrati, who said he knows very closely Salih Mustaf known as “Cali”, expressed confidence that he will face all charges that charge him and all the witnesses who are expected to give their testimony the following few days.

He said everyone who has been part of the KLA as well as every Albanian has felt bad that the first trial against former KLA members of the Special Court has begun.

Kastrati, at Info Magazine in Kosovo, said all charges weighing on Salih Mustaf are artificially created by Belgrade.

“This court has not had to be at all, or at least be for Albanians only because in Kosovo it has committed the crimes of Serbian occupier police, militant and Serb paramilitary. The KLA has fought a fair, clean and liberation war to protect Kosovo's citizen, property and state. All those fighters who have participated in the KLA war, but the entire Albanian people have also felt bad to have begun a trial, such as he has today against Salih Mustafa. It is political and will eventually win the KLA, because I am very convinced 1 million per cent that not only Salih Mustafa but no member of the The KLA has not committed crimes in Kosovo against anyone to be that trial”.

All these charges brought to Salih Mustaf are fabricated in Belgrade. The Hague tribunal has been working closely with the prosecution in Belgrade, and Belgrade has been working for years to fabricate these charges, but in the end justice will prevail, and Salih Mustafa will turn out fair”.
