Kurti: I never expected justice from the Special, this week we respond to the PDK initiative

Prime Minister Albin Kurti has said that he has never expected justice from the Special Court, while adding that this week they will respond to the initiative of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) which requested changes to the Law on Specialized Chambers.

The PDK has submitted proposals to the Parliament and the Government for amending this law, aiming to transfer cases not related to organ trafficking charges to Kosovo for other levels of trial. The initiative was initiated after the Special Court sentenced four leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army to 81 years in prison.

In a press conference after the Government meeting on Wednesday, Kurti said that the PDK initiative has been sent to the legal office of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Finance. 

"It is a regular procedure. We do not want to commit a violation, we do not have to. From the information I have so far, including from the ministries, this week we will have the response as an opinion from the legal office of the Ministry of Justice, as well as the financial assessment of the budget from the Ministry of Finance, and we will immediately forward it to the Parliament," he said. 

Furthermore, the Prime Minister stated that he has never changed his stance on the Special Court, which is why he says he did not expect justice.

"I have never expected justice. I have never changed this stance on the court. The charge of joint criminal enterprise must necessarily be corrected on appeal. There was a lack of transparency, in addition to the mono-ethnic court. And the third is those factual and historical inaccuracies that we heard on September 16. Let us not forget that dozens of pages were read that day. But the full decision is thousands of pages," Kurti declared.

Kurti expressed optimism about the election of the president by October 6, which is the deadline. Optimism, as Kurti says, has been boosted by the Declaration approved in the Parliament on Monday with 99 votes in favor.

"It is necessary to have new meetings. We will have meetings. And we hope that we can continue the agreement of Monday. I am optimistic that I saw it on Monday. I would not have this optimism if we had not approved that Declaration with 99 votes on Monday," the Prime Minister added.
