State leaders criticised for not having institutional reaction following testimony by James Rubin and Paul Williams in The Hague

Their statements, directly affecting the issue of the Kosovo Liberation Army command structure and former President Hashim Thaci's role, have created a wave of reactions in the media, civil society and the political scene.

Despite the weight this testimony carries, especially in such a sensitive and historical process for Kosovo, a complete lack of response from the highest state institutions has been noted.

So far, neither the president of the Republic nor the prime minister nor the Speaker of the Parliament have given any official comment or position regarding the evidence that has already entered the centre of public debate.

And the silence of institutions in the face of such evidence has been sharply criticised.

Gucati after the institutional silence of James Rubin's testimony: Shame of shame, these aren't interested in releasing those men out there.

OVL-KLA leader Hysni Gucati, for FrontOnline, has been declared to lack of institutional reaction following former US official James Rubin and Paul Williams' testimony in Specialised Chambers in The Hague, calling the situation <x0->the secret of shame” and accusing institutions of having no will to support the accused in the judicial process.

Whose reaction are you expecting? Let's not talk about getting it off better, said Gucati.

He also mentioned Parliament Speaker Dimal Basha, reminding him of writing a text for KLA.

“Dear Government, Presidency of this Dimal Basha lighthouse that has done a good job against The KLA, formerly loved by”, he added.

Gucatti stressed that James Rubin's statement was an extraordinary occasion to be greeted by state institutions but that it has been placed in silence.

The cover of shame that has reacted to this day. These aren't interested in releasing those men there. Where there is a better statement than that of Ruby, instead of going out greeting his statement from the state of Kosovo, we saw no reaction at all”, Gucati said.

He says he has no trust in the country's institutions.

I don't trust them at all.

Former US Deputy Prime Minister Haki Abazi for FrontOnline has spoken of the lack of an institutional stance by the Kosovo State leadership following former US official James Rubin and Paul Williams' testimony to the Specialised Chambers in The Hague, where judgment is under way against former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders.

Ahaz has criticised incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti, saying his silence is not surprising and that he is behaving like the reserve bank's “player, using developments to strengthen his personal position within the party and power.

It's not surprising. Kurti's attitude towards the Special Court process has only been as a support to clear the ground”, Abazi has declared.

He has further questioned Kurt's role in reporting with the process in The Hague, charging that he is focusing only on retaining power.

“has proved Kurti to be a reserve bank player. Since the main players have been removed, this one has been out in the field and at any cost is trying to stay in the game. But it is not talking about the important process that is under way at The Hague. For him it is only the control of power and power of the Vetevendosje Movement, and nothing else”, Abazi told FrontOnline.

Former Vetevendosje Movement President Fatmir Humolli has spoken of FrontOnline's lack of an official position by Kosovo institutions concerning recent developments at the Special Court.

Humolli has expressed his disappointment at the approach of current state leaders to Kosovo's history and reality, accusing them of cutting off national experiences and roots.

The “are not on earth of space and are not living in the reality of what is in Kosovo actually,” he has declared.

According to Humolli, it is futile to discuss historical issues with those who, according to him, have forgotten Kosovo's path.

For history we have what about them, because they have forgotten where we came from as a nation and as Kosovo” he said

He says this situation is not a surprise to him. “This is no surprise for mu”, he said.
