Kurti criticises The Hague prosecution's request, in no row does he name former KLA leaders

The incumbent Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has criticised today's prosecution request at The Hague for a 45-year prison sentence for each of the accused KLA leaders, Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Rexhepi and Jakup Krasniqi, writes Periscopi.

While writing about the prosecution's request, Kurt never mentioned former KLA leaders.

We've never planned to exterminate any other people or civilians. Today's prosecution request to The Hague for a 45-year prison sentence for each of the accused KLA leaders does not rely on any internationally accepted standard of condemnation. It completely ignores the context of the war in Kosovo and tries to place this issue in a legal vacuum, removing actions from the reality of a liberation war”, Kurti wrote.

The moral and historical core of our liberation war consists of the survival and dignity of the people.

The KLA was the bearer of a fair, preserving and defensive fight. It developed under the circumstances of vicious occupation when apartheid violence was becoming state genocide.

Any attempt to separate individual actions from this historical and political context risks distorting the truth and the meaning of that war.

We never had a plan to exterminate any other people or civilians. Today's prosecution request to The Hague for a 45-year prison sentence for each of the accused KLA leaders does not rely on any internationally accepted standard of condemnation. It completely ignores the context of the war in Kosovo and tries to put this issue in a legal vacuum, removing actions from the reality of a liberation war.

The Republic of Kosovo remains steadfast in the belief that the KLA waged fair war and anti-colonial uprisings. Kosovo institutions will continue to defend actual and historical truth, the value and dignity of the war for freedom, as well as the fundamental principles of justice, rejecting any attempt to distort them.

Edi Rama February and Albanian for what happened at The Hague: I can't talk about all that shit in the heart of democratic Europe.
