Behram: Chief Special Prosecutor's Visit, Intervention in Justice

Kosovo Assembly MP candidate from PDK ranks Artan Behrami has commented on the visit of Chief Special Court prosecutor Kimberly West to Kosovo.

What does a Special Court prosecutor in Kosovo come for? To influence institutions? To scare the institutions? To intervene in justice? Or is it just “tensification and attempted intervention”? ”, Behram said through a video published on Facebook.

He has asked how it is possible that the prosecution, which has proposed maximum punishment for KLA leaders, dares pressure, lobby, he said, referring to meetings she said had with state representatives, diplomats and media.

Could not this influence the process? Likewise, both Jack Smith and Prosecutor West are once meeting politicians, ministers, diplomats to say that KLA leaders, at any cost and at any means, must be punished”, he says.

According to Behram, this is not about equality of weapons, where the prosecution and defence are equal before the judicial panel, as a precondition for a fair and impartial judgment.

Why does the prosecutor say that KLA leaders should be sentenced to life in prison and we dare not say that they are living heroes? Therefore, we too must continue to talk about the process, lobbi for a fair and impartial trial. Create supervisory mechanisms, investigate whether the court has violated human rights”, he says.

Former President Thaci's adviser, Artan Behrami, has surprised the PDK's entry into the list, where he competes for Kosovo Assembly MP.
