Profesori amerikan, Edward Joseph, ka thënë se Bashkimi Evropian duhet t’i trajtojë privatisht shqetësimet për ndryshimet në Ligjin për Dhomat e Specializuara, ndërsa thekson se Kosova ka të drejtë t’i kritikojë ato.
Joseph i ka cilësuar të gabuara kritikat publike të Bashkimit Evropian ndaj Kosovës lidhur me ndryshimet në ligj, duke vlerësuar se një qasje e tillë e vështirëson dialogun dhe i krijon hapësirë Serbisë që të përfitojë politikisht.
“Këto kritika publike të Bashkimit Evropian janë gabim. Marta Kos e di shumë mirë se Kosova është e përfshirë në një dialog. BE-ja vazhdimisht po e shtyn përpara dialogun, e megjithatë, me këto kritika publike ndaj të drejtës së Kosovës për t’i kritikuar Dhomat e Specializuara, po e vështirëson pikërisht këtë mundësi”, deklaroi Joseph.
He emphasized that the European Union has the right to express concerns and observations regarding the law, but, according to him, these issues should be addressed through private communication.
"These issues should be dealt with privately. If they have concerns, and it is entirely legitimate for the EU to have concerns and objections regarding the law, then they should express them privately. They should do this privately, because Serbia is benefiting from this public criticism and has also benefited from the verdict," he said.
Joseph kritikoi gjithashtu, siç tha, mungesën e reagimit të Bashkimit Evropian ndaj festimit dhe nderimit të kriminelit të luftës Ratko Mladiq në Serbi.
“Ndërkohë, BE-ja nuk ka bërë asgjë lidhur me festimin dhe nderimin e Ratko Mladiqit nga Serbia, i cili ishte krimineli më i rëndë i luftës në të gjithë Ballkanin. Pra, BE-ja ka një problem me Mladiqin dhe duhet ta trajtojë këtë çështje përpara se të kritikojë publikisht Kosovën për këtë ligj”, potencoi Joseph.
Asked whether Kosovo's relations with the European Union could be jeopardized by this issue, he assessed that the situation is not that serious and that the parties should engage in discussions to find a solution.
"I don't think the situation is that serious. I think Kosovo and the European Union should discuss this issue and I believe that, in fact, a positive result can be achieved," he declared.
Sipas Josephit, ekzistojnë mekanizma dhe formate përmes të cilave Kosova dhe Bashkimi Evropian mund t’i trajtojnë mospajtimet, por se Brukseli duhet ta kuptojë se Dhomat e Specializuara nuk janë të përjashtuara nga kritikat.
"I think this issue can be taken forward, as there are channels and formats through which these questions can be addressed. However, there is one fundamental point that the EU needs to understand: the Specialist Chambers are not above criticism. They are not above criticism," Joseph stressed.
He added that Kosovo has the right to criticize the Specialist Chambers and that, according to him, even the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has recognized Kosovo's right to change the law.
"Kosovo has the right to criticize them. Even the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has stated here that Kosovo, as a sovereign state, has the right to change the law. Von der Leyen has also said this," he said.
Commenting on the vote on the law, Joseph said that it was supported by a strong majority, although the Democratic League of Kosovo did not vote in favor of it.
"The vote was with a very strong majority in favor of the law. The LDK did not vote in favor of it, but, nevertheless, there is a broad national consensus, which is also represented in the working group," he declared.
He reiterated that the Government of Kosovo should open discussions with international partners, especially with the European Union and the United States of America.
"And, I repeat, I think the key is for the Government of Kosovo to open a dialogue on this issue with the European Union, but also with the United States of America. I believe that the United States is also involved in this issue and I think that they can be open to the concerns and questions that Kosovo has raised. I believe that the EU should also show the same willingness," Joseph said.
