In a statement, the KAS estimates that the process -- “in the form and frame it is taking” -- seriously risks deforming the historic and judicial reality of the Kosovo war, stressing that the liberation struggle of the people of Kosovo was a legitimate and necessary response to systematic violence, ethnic cleansing and war crimes exercised by Slobodan Milosevic's regime.
According to the KAS, any attempt to equate the state aggressor with the victim who fought for survival and freedom is an insult to the people of Kosovo and to the international intervention of the West itself, which was undertaken to stop war crimes and genocide, reports the KP, broadcasts Periscope.
The Council warns that a warped “process “could relat to or even amnestimate the Serbian state leadership's historic and political responsibility for crimes committed in Kosovo, calling this “grave historical injustice” and the dangerous “for international law.
The KAS reaffirms support for impartial international justice, but stresses that justice cannot be removed from historical truth and the complete context of events.
Kosovo's “Delivering was the legitimate act of a oppressed people, and the Kosovo Liberation Army remains a liberation force, not the object of political or judicial revisionism”, says the Council of Albanian Ambassadors' announcement. /Periscope
