The leader of the Democratic Union for Integration in North Macedonia (DUI), Ali Ahmeti, has said that Kosovo institutions can do more to support the former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, who are being tried in The Hague.
He warned that after the protest that started in Tirana, a protest will soon be held in Skopje. He told KosovaPress that the associations that emerged from the war in North Macedonia are working in this direction and that the protest will be held after the local elections there.
"The associations that emerged from the war in North Macedonia are working on it and it is a matter of time before it will be organized. Of course, after the elections, such a movement will also take place in Skopje on Skanderbeg Square," he said.
Ahmeti, who is participating in the protest organized in Tirana in support of former KLA leaders, said that institutions in Kosovo could do more to support Thaçi and others being tried by the Special Chamber in The Hague.
"There is always more to do. The institutions in Kosovo can do more on this issue. The sons of Kosovo are judged there for both freedom and independence. We expect a greater and stronger commitment... I am sorry that it is given a little political color. This protest is called by associations that emerged from the war and has nothing to do with daily politics," he said.
He said that today's protest in Tirana is a clear message that the former KLA leaders being tried in The Hague are innocent and that the process at the Special Court has deviated.
"The message is very clear. We are all KLA. Today it is the voice of the people from the Albanian capital in Tirana. The people are innocent, they are liberators and they are neither traffickers nor people who have exercised terror and genocide on another people. They have been defending their own people and their doorstep. This is the voice of truth. Release them as soon as possible," he concludes.
