U.S. Ambassador in Kosovo Christopher Dell said that a good governance, rather than new elections, could solve the election process issues. He told Pristina-based Albanian language daily Koha Ditore that credible persons should form the future government. "Kosovo needs 'clean' officials" The ambassador also pointed out that the officials elected to the assembly could have problems with legitimacy due to election fraud. Dell stressed that people who would be honorable and who would “have clean hands” should be in the new Kosovo government, in order to restore trust of the citizens into the institutions and remove all dilemmas regarding their legitimacy. “Anybody who was convicted of a crime should not serve in the government. Even if they filed an appeal and are waiting for the final decision. The fact that you were once found guilty, even if you appealed, makes you convicted until the appeal is reviewed. These people cannot be in the government,” the U.S. ambassador was quoted as saying. According to him, people who are officially being investigated, who were questioned or whose homes were searched should not be a part of the government. “It’s important that a person cannot serve in the office until the investigation is finished and they are found innocent,” Dell stressed.
