Four cases have been presented to us so far, among them is Kamenica's former leader, Central Kastrati. There are also figures working in sensitive locations, so they have impacts, but because of the nature of the work, they don't want to publicize their identity”, he said of Telegrafi.

The “they (Serbian authorities) want to receive information about security institutions, primarily the Kosovo Security Force, the Kosovo Police and the Kosovar Intelligence Agency”, said Shala, as he invited Kosovo institutions to freeze this as a concern, as he said such cases are fuelling fear and uncertainty among citizens.
“in all cases that have been asked a question, Serbian police have had correct conduct, so there has been no threat or abuse of those interviewed. Such cases have happened earlier. However, Kosovo institutions must raise it as a concern, as it is fuelling fears and uncertainty among citizens”.

I was asked to turn off the phone, start asking political questions, one question was why you came out of LVV, another question is if you know Fatmir Limaj. I refused, I told him that I know the rules, there must be a lawyer here”, he followed.
