Protest for KLA leaders in Tirana: VVV attacks Eddie Rama

In a public statement, the VV re-exemplifies its unchanged stand against the Special Court, calling it a historic injustice stemming from political lobbies and not from the need for real justice.

The Special Court did not come by itself. It started with a 2008 resolution proposed by representatives of the Russian Federation in the Council of Europe, and was later adopted as Senator Dick Marty's proposal in 2011,” reportedly in the VV's response.

Full VV post:

Movement V DEPENSE! stands by all citizens protesting and seeking justice for the former heads of the Kosovo Liberation Army in Tirana. Our position for the Special Court remains unchanged.
We remember that the Special Court did not come on its own, but it began as early as 2008 from a resolution proposed in the Council of Europe by the chairman of the Russian Federation's deputies at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Konstantin Kosachev, but was adopted as a resolution with the proposed by Senator Dick Marty in 2011.
The Kosovo Liberation Army war has been fair and necessary. On the other hand, the prosecution's claim that inside the U. CK has existed a criminal group is incorrect and unjust. The KLA has not been a criminal enterprise and there have been no such structures. Instead, for war crimes Serbia must be tried, it is the cause of genocide and mass and systematic crimes against the people of Kosovo.
But for our sincere forward walk as a state and as a nation, we must certainly reflect on our stand against this Court at the time it was established. Reflection is not wrong, but in this regard many who today oppose the Special Court were the biggest lobbyists for its establishment. Before protesting, these actors and politicians must show at least a minimum of regret for their past wrong attitudes. A clear example is Albania's own current prime minister, Edi Rama, who had even come to Kosovo on an emergency helicopter visit to convince the parties here to vote for the establishment of this Court.
But Movement V SINCE!, as it was in 2015, as today in 2025, it is firm that justice must shine forth the truth, and the truth is no different than on the part of the war and the determined efforts of the people of Kosovo to free and independence like other peoples.
On the other hand, Albania's institutions as a UN member state of the Council of Europe, of the OSCE, and of NATO, and much closer to the European Union, have responsibilities and opportunities to raise the issue at these international forums, where justice is spoken and placed, not “Square. Skenderbe” in Tirana.
Also, Kosovo's friendly states that already enjoy membership in these organisations must do much more to defend the truth of our war and advance justice. The same should be done at these forums for recognising genocide and judging crimes against humanity, war crimes Serbia has committed in Kosovo and throughout the Balkans.
