She said the purpose of these activities is its presence in Kosovo and the creation of space for people in Kosovo to share their views.
However, the Special Court yesterday has come up against the very high school “; James Doda”, where through a public response, it stressed that these speeches were not being held by Special Officials.
“Since 2018, with generous support from Switzerland, the team of the Kosovo Specialised Chambers Communication Programme has been conducting communication and awareness activities throughout Kosovo almost every month”, the Special Community says.
“These information delivery activities are intended to ensure presence in Kosovo, provide basic information on the mandate and activity of the Court, give people in Kosovo the opportunity to express their views and, above all, answer their questions”.
“activities are organised with students, lawyers, civil society, citizens of local communities, and many others. Since the judgments are carried out in The Hague, from the outset it was estimated that the Court should communicate with people influenced by the judicial processes, providing them with transparent, neutral and accessible information, as have other tribulals --”.
The court said that only information currently available during these activities is available on the website of Specialised Chambers, and that information has no political or ideological burden.
They even said that people's thoughts in Kosovo are important to them and to respond to them through a programme of communication and awareness.
The information given during these tasks is the same information that can be found on the Special Chambers website. These include information about the Court's mandate under the Law, the rights of the accused, the victims' participation and legal developments in court cases. The court is an institution separate from the Specialised Prosecutor's Office, and the Programme for Communication and Awareness administered by the Administrative Office as a neutral body of the Court represents neither the Prosecutor nor the Protection. Presenting the innocence of an accused is clearly communicated. The information presented does not include political or ideological content”.
For years, The DHSK has been transparent in terms of its regular communication and awareness activities and their goal. Journalists who reported on these were involved. For communication and awareness activities in Kosovo, the Court regularly reports on weekly media reports on the website and social networking channels, as well as its annual reports. The DHKS considers it important to hear people's thoughts in Kosovo and answer their questions through the Co-operation and Awareness Programme”. /Periscope
