Former American diplomat: Special Court has changed the mandate, forgotten Dick Marty's report.

Serwer said there's a common thread between the two: Jack Smith. He added that Smith was the prosecutor in The Hague before taking his position in Washington to conduct investigations and perhaps prosecute Trump.

Former American diplomat and Balkan Affairs connoisseur Daniel Cerwer has today declared that the Special Court has a mandate based on Kosovo laws and on claims reported by Dick Marty in the Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly Report of January 7, 2011, but that court has emerged from this mandate.

I'm not a lawyer, but in my manner of secular thinking, the court is clearly removed from this mandate. It appears that he has forgotten the report of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe”, he has said in an interview for Deutche Welle.

The key claims in the Council of Europe report appear to be groundless and have been dropped off charges against the accused. The prosecutor is following other, less specific, charges against the KLA leadership, which have nothing to do with the Council of Europe report”, has stressed Serwer, followed Democracy.com.

According to him, the KLA leaders' sentence at The Hague will certainly have implications for the accused, including punishment, but it will take a long time until there is a decision.

I find their detention unfair”, Serwer said.

Serwer considers that Kosovo made a mistake to establish the Special Court without reciprocal agreements with Serbia, so Belgrade too will have a court of jurisdiction for crimes against humanity, war crimes and other crimes within Serbia, where three American brothers (Bytyci brothers were killed immediately after the war in 1999).

Serbia was the main wrongdoer in the 1990s. The unilateral nature of the Specialised Chambers and the Prosecutor's Office prevents this court from establishing justice for crimes committed by Belgrade”, Serwer has declared.

He stressed that the judgment is already worsening frustrations in Kosovo, calming feelings in Serbia and making it more difficult for Pristina to normalise relations with Belgrade.

This will get worse”, he estimates.
