The American diplomat said international and local reports show that the justice system still very often utters soft and unproportional penalties.
The “Dence is among the most important phases of criminal justice, and the general guide will provide a clear framework for the pronunciation of sentences for criminal offences in Kosovo. As we have heard, Kosovo 6 years ago has approved the first roadmap for measuring sentences, and Kosovo justice system officials continue to be an example for the countries of the region.
This is just the first step, because as you know, all the hard work starts now. All that work must be done for this guide to be real and come into force, because international and local reports show that the justice system in Kosovo still very often utters mild or proportional sentences, stressing the urgent need for this guide to be fully implemented”, Havenier stressed.
