Nuk e bëri Kurti për katër


Just a few months after receiving the mandate to govern, Prime Minister Albin Kurti made a big promise: we will prepare the case against Serbia at the International Court of Justice.

This promise of Kurti, like many others, remained unrealized for four years when the government’s term ended.

Justice Minister Albulena Haxhiu reiterated the executive branch’s commitment to filing this genocide lawsuit in an interview on January 6.

“The fight against war crimes is a priority in the government program. And when we see what actions we have taken as commitments, we have addressed all of them, except that we are working on the genocide lawsuit. However, I cannot provide any further information about the latter, as it is a very sensitive process… However, in consultation with experts, I cannot even mention them as proper names, as no information is provided in view of Serbia’s ongoing efforts, not for “To bring to justice all the crimes committed during the war period in Kosovo, it can harm Kosovo,” she told Kosova Press.

Speaking on the same topic, Professor of Constitutional Law Arsim Bajrami emphasized that the government understood that this was a complex process.

“Successive governments have promised, including the current government. We know that at the beginning of the mandate the genocide lawsuit was a priority, but now four years have passed and we still do not have that lawsuit. I think that even the Prime Minister understood that this is a very complex process and that it is not a process for experimentation because if we miss the opportunity we can cause great damage to the state. The eventual loss of the case would completely vindicate Serbia for its actions. “For this issue of the lawsuit, we need a consensus that the party – national, academic, state and social – should file this lawsuit,” Bajrami explained for KP on January 6th.

Genocide claims are brought before the International Court of Justice – the institution that decides disputes between states. Only states that are members of the United Nations (UN) can initiate proceedings at the International Court of Justice.

More than 13,000 civilians were killed, more than 20,000 were sexually raped, more than 6,000 are missing – of which about 1,600 are still missing, and more than 800,000 people were displaced during the 1998-1999 Kosovo War. Serbia continues to deny the crimes committed in Kosovo.
