Haradinaj: I was forced not to visit the Ministry of Justice because I had to mark it as a family visit.

Ahead of the specialised Chambers in The Hague, Haradinaj has said visits made by foreign officials there are marked as official, while those from Kosovo, regardless of whether they may be from state institutions, are called family.

My country's version of my ombudsman, my country's home visit, the request of the Ministry of Justice that was made here, and I am the first to refuse and have not met with them, has come as a family requirement, and the visit of your ombudsman who came from Italy, the most appointed official question and that is one of the equalitys you make. While the lawyer of my people, the state of Kosovo, and you are calling on the name of Kosovo and I am taken away as family by the lawyer of my people who come to see me in prison and force me to refuse to accept the Ministry of Justice of my country and force them to ask me for family visits, I have ignored them, not ignored them as my country's, but I have shown you that I don't care who, and that's what you're doing today. You explain and understand what strength you have taken, how long your lawyer who is here you have brought me he has officially come to me, the lawyer of my people, I have had to write as a family, and I have been deprived of the time of the visit as long as the Kosovo ombudsman has stood, said Haradinaj.

That Haradinaj has said while being questioned by the prosecutor on the second day of his testimony at The Hague.
