New resolution in KiE: Kosovo is helping Albania bring down the Martyt” charges

On this road, Kosovo is not supporting Albania at all.

Awareers of the political circumstances in the country have suggested that Kosovo's diplomacy has had to take the lobby priority to help Albania in this effort.

International Relations Professor Dritaro Arifi has said of the National Gate that Kosovo has made no effort to help Albania drop claims by the Swiss senator.

There have been hesitations and no at least practical movement. We would have had to lobby in Albania from the first day and in all countries for this package issue to be introduced into the agenda or for that to be discussed, but Kosovo diplomacy does not see this as a priority. This should be a priority like Kosovo's membership in the Council of Europe, where we have passed the first phase”, Arifi said.

In his view, the collapse of Senator Marty's claims would even help Kosovo membership in the KiE.

This would probably help Kosovo better through the second phase. Because it would have been noted the historic mistake the Council of Europe made by voting such a resolution sponsored by suspicious circles, which have damaged not only Kosovo justice and Kosovo's war, but in a way has damaged the Western world's own commitment about Kosovo petitioner”, Arifi has said.

Politicalologist Avdi Smajlja has told the Nacional newspaper that Kosovo and Albania on this issue should have a common strategy.

Kosovo's “Diplomacy, which together with Albania's, would have to come up with a clear strategy on how to cope with Serbia's vicious campaign by using the 2011 resolution and establishing the court as an instrument against the foundations on which the Kosovo state has been established”, he has said.

Neither does Kosovo Parliament MP Ariana Musliu-Scheshi, who is a member of the Foreign Policy Commission, have any information whether Kosovo diplomacy is making a dare in this direction.

In a proposal for the Nacional newspaper, she has expressed optimism that the results of Albania's initiative will be positive.

Albania's dialogue in PACE has greatly helped Kosovo on the path to membership in this institution. It's our voice where we have no voice and no power. Therefore, as unique supporters of the Republic of Kosovo I am convinced that in any initiative that is in Kosovo's best interests, they will succeed. We as a delegation have no right to vote and have no power to postpone any initiative, including the resolution in question”, Musliu-Sshi said.

Effects of a New Resolution
Officials of political processes have suggested that the release of a new resolution at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe would have certain effects on Kosovo.

International Relations Professor Dritero Arifi, has shown that such a document would depreciate Senator Marty's claim.

The collection of signatures for a resolution that would devalve or suspend at least the paragraph on organ trafficking may occur. This depends on the political will of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Whether that paragraph is suspended or if the resolution remains to be seen, but if such a thing happens, it would be a great victory and Western democracies -- that is, a victory of the truth and normally it would be a great victory for the truth of Kosovo, for the Kosovo war, and it would clean up all the doubts that were raised when it was voted for this report” -- it has been expressed.

Politicalologist Avdi Smajljaj, on the other hand, has estimated that both states would have to be more active with their diplomacy.

“Such a resolution is necessary, but not enough (in the sense of what needs to be done even more Albania and Kosovo) to resist Serbia's campaign, which is using the product of the 2011 resolution, which was then initiated by the special court, whose claims were rejected by the prosecution of this tribunal”, Smajljaj has been expressed.

Albania has collected signatures
Albania's Prime Minister, Edi Rama, has suggested in March that Albania has collected the signatures at the Council of Europe Assembly for the motion for a new resolution on the 2011 resolution.

He had voiced conviction that that resolution is an insult to Kosovo and its fair fight for freedom.

“I finally collected signatures at the Council of Europe Assembly for the motion for a new resolution on the 2011 resolution, where with no fact, terrible accusations were brought against the glorious Kosovo Liberation Army for the trafficking of Albania-Kosovo human organs. The path of justice for Kosovo, the shed blood for freedom, the NLA martyrs and its living heroes in The Hague today will be long, difficult, even insulting to the marrow, but justice will triumph in the end, because the scheme of force in the world to brand as criminal a liberation war” had written Rama in his account at “Facebook”

A year earlier, Albania's Assembly had adopted a resolution, which Senator Marty's claims considered groundless.

This resolution required that the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe review the document adopted in 2011.

The KiE resolution was used as the basis for the establishment of the Special Court, where former KLA leaders are being tried.
