Through a Facebook note, Kurti has written that for five years our justice institutions have been allowed prosecution and the judgment of war criminals even in their absence, but there is no result.
There have been five years since our justice institutions have been enabled prosecution and the trial of war criminals even in their absence. Five years from state policy bringing faster access to justice. Five years of first calls to use the state device available to file charges against criminals and their monstrous crimes against our people. Five years no results of”
He says 25 years after the war, there is no justice for the victims.
The special procedure must be more active and efficient to bring criminals to justice. The charges filed for trial in absence for war crimes could be counted on fingers”, the prime minister has followed.
Kurti says that in our efforts for justice for victims of the 1998-1999 war, addressing Serbia's crimes committed in Kosovo should be a priority.
There are witnesses and evidence from all massacres that the prosecution would have to turn into evidence files for war crimes charges. The Republic and the people need active and wise prosecutors, and effective and informed judges, to bring to justice all those responsible for the crimes committed during the war. Some of their names are publicly known, and many of them are known by survivors and family members of the victims”.
The prime minister says the government has increased the budget and justice should act.
Therefore, we call again for the other pillar of power in Kosovo, the justice system, to act because it is time for the end to bring justice to war victims. The government has increased the budget, so we call for the Prosecutorial Council to urgently increase the capacity for addressing war crimes”.
The punishment for the war criminals is a duty, and the first executive adds further.
“For past suffering and hope for the future. For the sacrifice of those we lost in war and for generations growing in freedom”, Kurti has ended.
