"wonder how many albanians in kosovo that are not PDK stooges actually believe that.
(insider, 23 December 2010 09:47) "

"[ICTY] Court representative Nerma Jelačić said that the claims of certain Serbian officials that a number of prosecution witnesses in the Tribunal’s witness protection program had been murdered, were “untrue”." B92 wasn't quoting Albanians.

I'd like to ask Mr. Marty one question:
Does he believe in an independent Ksoova or not?

Preferably Id' like the answer to come from a location other than Moscow.
That will settle a lot of doubts in my mind.
(Zoti, 23 December 2010 18:32)

For normal people "independent Kosova" is not a religion.

@Ben: OK, why wait than with the court regarding Dick Marty? Apply the kanuns and end of story.

Apropos, kanuns and killing. I think, Albanians should not touch Dick Marty even with a finger - would anything happen to him, that would be self-incriminating.

"My report on crimes in Kosovo is not directed against Albanians".

Come on Dick you really think we are fools? We all know your biggot kind, and what you stand for. Did you find the CIA camps in Europe, so you could save the world and bring world piece!?

I don't really want to call you a racist, cause I truly think you are no better race than Albanians in every sense of the word, but at least save us your usual fancy pantsy European political blaber and stop acting as being impartial, just and having the K-Alb interest in mind.

We know you are not that dumb, to not understand the consequences of your report on Kosovo independence and K-Alb lives. If you were interested in justice, you could have gone to court and not engage in a PR war to claim guilt outside the court of law and without a due process.

When Regan used to say that politics is like prostitution, for sure he was refering first, to your kind... not that you are the only one in Europe, but you indeed stick out like a sour thumb.

You find a small and inpoverished people, in a delicate situation and you pound on it....typical cowardice.

this is all so funny.
how come there's nothing and people still talk about it?
how come DICK doesnt trust Hague, Eulex, he says witnesses are killed, the evidence is missing , he names places but everybody can name places, everybody can say that witnesess are murdered, everybody might say that evidence is destroyed, everybody might find a reason for a crime , the thing is what is real?
how do we trust what dick marti says unless he provides facts.evidence and not assumptions/ doubts, perceptions and so so forth.
I have read his report , hes only assuming and he has not provided any evidence /facts, unless an evidence is a simple house lol
He is simply sensational and nothing else front page papers for sure he is well known / famous person now
what a funny story with a tragic subject

You are welcome, Top

Either I forgot to clearly point that the text is from Kosovo Albanian daily newspaper Bota Sot, published in Prishtina. ( I could swear I wrote this in a paragraph of its ownThe case is one against Ramush Haradinaj and others. The witnesses started dying already long before ICTY tried Haradinaj. Probably some acute infection...

Kosovars I like to remind of one thing: there are many Albanian families whose members were killed by KLA. Only fear keeps most of them from opening their mouths. I'm in contact with 3 such families.

But there will be a day when some members of these families get enough and decide to talk. Until that time "patriotic" Kosovars who threaten them, and those servants who deny the facts also on this comment site, they live in a dream that the case is closed. Well, it just isn't.

These KLA=Albanian death camps must be investigated. This investigation is eleven years too late. Albania should have sanctions imposed on it until it allows a complete investigation into its role in supporting the KLA and it's alleged organ trafficking. It seems to be a source of instability in the Balkans, particularly Serbia and Macedonia.

I read it on a foreign Newspaper that there is some strong evidence that there are mass graves between the line border of Macedonia and Serbia. Many people believe that Mr Tadic has asked Mr Gruevski privately to not allow any investigation at the moment. These sources mention the fact that those mass graves might hold the truth of more then 2000 Kosovar Albanians missing since 1999. That’s where Mr Marty should be concentrated next and for that he doesn’t need to go to cash in Moscow.

-- You either have evidence or you don't. You're saying you don't have any. You can simply say no you don't have any evidence rather than try to cover yourself through an elongated answer.


"The outgoing Kosovo Albanian prime minister has an important role in criminal operations in Kosovo, the CoE rapporteur said, identifying him as the boss of an infamous crime ring, which has more than once been linked to a series of illegal activities. "

Amer,

You asked which other wittnesses have been killed / murdered. May I provide some info to you.


Three "Dukagjini" witnesses killed (So called "Dukagjini group" consists of former KLA militants lead by Ramush and Daut Haradinaj.)

Bota Sot explains that the recent murder of a Kosova Policewoman was a part of a systematic liquidation of crucial witnesses against former KLA and Albanian mafia warlords in Pec-Decani area: "Three of these witnesses have been murdered: Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj and Sebahate Tolaj; while there have been several attempts to kill Ramiz Muriqi"

The first judicial process in Kosova against those that have committed crimes during the war and after seems to be unfinished. Unfortunately, although justice has spoken, "deputies" of the crime seem to be determined to continue the criminal activities to the end. These executors of these crimes, that still stroll around freely in Dukagjin and in Kosovo, have on their "black list" all living witnesses of the so-called "Dukagjini Process" which was held at the end of last year.

Those that remember the trial against the "Dukagjini Group" know that the main witnesses, in the trial against those accused of killing the four fighters of the brigade "Mërgimi", have been Col. Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj, Vesel Muriqi, and Ramiz Muriqi etc. Amongst those fighters of the former Brigade 134, commanded by Col. Tahir Zemaj, that had information about the killing of the four "Mërgimi" fighters, was Sebahate Tolaj. Three of these personalities have been murdered: Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj and Sebahate Tolaj; while there have been several attempts to kill Ramiz Muriqi.

This dark chapter of the crime in Dukagjini completely darkens the horizon of free Kosova even four years after the expulsion of the Serbian military forces from Kosova. It is also killing of the bloodied freedom of Kosova and a killing against witnesses that testify for crimes against humanity that are committed during the war or after it. The murder of Sebahate Tolaj and wounding of Jusuf Haklaj and Hysen Lataj (the three were members of the Investigation Unit for Serious Crimes in Pec), is another criminal act against all those fighters of freedom.

But, why was Sebahate Tolaj murdered in an ambush?

Sebahate Tolaj has been an officer and one of the highest-ranking officers of FARK (Armed Forces of Kosova Republic) of the Defense Ministry of Republic of Kosova. She was a comrade of the legendary commandants Sali Çeku and Tahir Zemaj. She also participated in the glorious battle of Koshare. After the war she worked for the KPS where she has been an outstanding member.

According to information from Peja, Sebahate Tolaj and Isuf Haklaj have been directly involved in investigations over the murder of Col. Tahir Zemaj who was murdered on January 4, 2002. In fact, Sebahate Tolaj, at the moment of her assassination, seems to have had the file with investigations about killing of Col. Tahir Zemaj. Considering this fact and the nature of killings this year in the Dukagjini region, we could say that perpetrators of these crimes are those that execute the orders given by higher "ranking" individuals that are directly involved in the "Dukagjini Process". Therefore, they are servants of those order-givers that are in prison now or of somebody that is a "civilian" today, but that at the time of execution of the four members of the "Mërgimi" brigade were in high command positions of the KLA.

Therefore, this murder is also directly connected with the trial process and sentencing of the "Dukagjini Group" because of the fact that all those persons murdered were witnesses in this process or investigators of serious crimes in Pec and Dukagjini. The murder of Sebahate Tolaj and wounding of Isuf Haklaj and Hysen Lataj is another serious criminal act that seriously threatens the freedom in Kosova. This killing is another black chronicle of killings in Dukagjin. Will these killings in Dukagjin and Kosovo end once and for all times?

Amer,

The americans tried to hide the evidence from their war crimes in Irak and Afghanistan but Wikileaks provided the world with the truth. Hopefully the truth about alabanian/american attrocities will be know to the world one day as well. The accusations of organ harvesting is a good start. Hopefully wittnesses can be protected this time and tell the world what is already known about albanian crimes against humanity in Kosovo and Albania.

"The European parliamentarian said that the witnesses he interviewed trusted neither national nor international governmental institutions. He recalled the case against former KLA member and Kosovo Albanian Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, when prosecution witnesses testified in the investigative proceedings, but were unable to testify in court since they had been murdered shorty before that.

It is notorious that Kosovo has been run by criminals and mafia since Nato’s bombing. Though lots of money has been pumped into Kosovo’s economy, it appears that its flow terminated into Thaci and his cronies’ pockets.But they have insatiable appetite for money and they have opted for most desgusting way of acquiring it. It is such a revolting crime that it makes people sick when they hear or read it,so I will not repeat it this time.In order to dispel and refute the accusation,he often releases statements in media assuming that the best way to defend himself is to charge the other party.He will never make confessions for his crimes,he will go on exerting his power by means of his criminal environment to eliminate potential witnesses the same way Ramush Haradinaj did. His criminal activities were known long ago but the investigations of the crimes were hampered, his international sponsors deflected accusations. Now when the truth is disclosed , he is a great panic that his patrons have abandoned him.

Just homework for everyone. Find the original report of Marty and try to copy and paste it to a word document. It is a common practice of teacher to find out if their students are plagiarizing. When you copy and past the font of the writing goes to the original font that was copied from the original document. Marty’s document does the something. You should have word 2007. The first part is his writing which is his opinion and the second part where he numbers the so called evidence is prepared by someone else. Try it yourself to believe.

It is obvious that this guy copies and pasts the Serbian propaganda in an official CE report.

His report is setting a very serious precedent and must be treated with extreme care by CE and all EU institutions and set rigid rules how to stop certain individuals with certain political agendas to put their own personal political believes in official CE/EU reports and documents.

He didn’t bother at all to find any evidences but was happy to put Serbian gossips and propaganda in an official document; and then says:

It is such a revolting crime that it makes people sick when they hear or read it,so I will not repeat it this time.In order to dispel and refute the accusation,he often releases statements in media assuming that the best way to defend himself is to charge the other party.He will never make confessions for his crimes,he will go on exerting his power by means of his criminal environment to eliminate potential witnesses the same way Ramush Haradinaj did. His criminal activities were known long ago but the investigations of the crimes were hampered, his international sponsors deflected accusations. Now when the truth is disclosed , he is a great panic that his patrons have abandoned him.

Amer,

You asked which other wittnesses have been killed / murdered. May I provide some info to you.


Three "Dukagjini" witnesses killed (So called "Dukagjini group" consists of former KLA militants lead by Ramush and Daut Haradinaj.)

Bota Sot explains that the recent murder of a Kosova Policewoman was a part of a systematic liquidation of crucial witnesses against former KLA and Albanian mafia warlords in Pec-Decani area: "Three of these witnesses have been murdered: Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj and Sebahate Tolaj; while there have been several attempts to kill Ramiz Muriqi"

The first judicial process in Kosova against those that have committed crimes during the war and after seems to be unfinished. Unfortunately, although justice has spoken, "deputies" of the crime seem to be determined to continue the criminal activities to the end. These executors of these crimes, that still stroll around freely in Dukagjin and in Kosovo, have on their "black list" all living witnesses of the so-called "Dukagjini Process" which was held at the end of last year.

Those that remember the trial against the "Dukagjini Group" know that the main witnesses, in the trial against those accused of killing the four fighters of the brigade "Mërgimi", have been Col. Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj, Vesel Muriqi, and Ramiz Muriqi etc. Amongst those fighters of the former Brigade 134, commanded by Col. Tahir Zemaj, that had information about the killing of the four "Mërgimi" fighters, was Sebahate Tolaj. Three of these personalities have been murdered: Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj and Sebahate Tolaj; while there have been several attempts to kill Ramiz Muriqi.

This dark chapter of the crime in Dukagjini completely darkens the horizon of free Kosova even four years after the expulsion of the Serbian military forces from Kosova. It is also killing of the bloodied freedom of Kosova and a killing against witnesses that testify for crimes against humanity that are committed during the war or after it. The murder of Sebahate Tolaj and wounding of Jusuf Haklaj and Hysen Lataj (the three were members of the Investigation Unit for Serious Crimes in Pec), is another criminal act against all those fighters of freedom.

But, why was Sebahate Tolaj murdered in an ambush?

Sebahate Tolaj has been an officer and one of the highest-ranking officers of FARK (Armed Forces of Kosova Republic) of the Defense Ministry of Republic of Kosova. She was a comrade of the legendary commandants Sali Çeku and Tahir Zemaj. She also participated in the glorious battle of Koshare. After the war she worked for the KPS where she has been an outstanding member.

According to information from Peja, Sebahate Tolaj and Isuf Haklaj have been directly involved in investigations over the murder of Col. Tahir Zemaj who was murdered on January 4, 2002. In fact, Sebahate Tolaj, at the moment of her assassination, seems to have had the file with investigations about killing of Col. Tahir Zemaj. Considering this fact and the nature of killings this year in the Dukagjini region, we could say that perpetrators of these crimes are those that execute the orders given by higher "ranking" individuals that are directly involved in the "Dukagjini Process". Therefore, they are servants of those order-givers that are in prison now or of somebody that is a "civilian" today, but that at the time of execution of the four members of the "Mërgimi" brigade were in high command positions of the KLA.

Therefore, this murder is also directly connected with the trial process and sentencing of the "Dukagjini Group" because of the fact that all those persons murdered were witnesses in this process or investigators of serious crimes in Pec and Dukagjini. The murder of Sebahate Tolaj and wounding of Isuf Haklaj and Hysen Lataj is another serious criminal act that seriously threatens the freedom in Kosova. This killing is another black chronicle of killings in Dukagjin. Will these killings in Dukagjin and Kosovo end once and for all times?

Amer,

then,

what do you understand by REPORT???

It is obvious that this guy copies and pasts the Serbian propaganda in an official CE report.

His report is setting a very serious precedent and must be treated with extreme care by CE and all EU institutions and set rigid rules how to stop certain individuals with certain political agendas to put their own personal political believes in official CE/EU reports and documents.

He didn’t bother at all to find any evidences but was happy to put Serbian gossips and propaganda in an official document; and then says:

“It is for political authorities to make appropriate conclusions, he added.”

Read:

I am a hit man; I shot my shot and did my job. Now it is up to others to deal with the consequences of my crime.

These types of idiots and criminals must pay. And I hope that Dick will pay in court or from a patriot – but he MUST pay.

The legal grounds that his “report” is presenting are NOT SUFFICIENT EVEN TO START A NEW INVESTIFGATION let alone to bring it to a court or even more to win the case. But he is not bothered about that at all: his goal was to BLOW as strong as possible his slandering report.

Also, when you say 3/4 of humanity... measured by what (area, population, economic power, military power, number of mafiosi, etc...). It's not clear from your post.

We'll take Hash & co to the UNSC and beyond *IF* he doesn't march to our tune & re-integrate
(highduke, 22 December 2010 15:15)

Yeah, good luck with the UNSC :).

Also, just a side note... Don't forget 1244 is still in force and everybody should act is accordance with it as Kosovo did when declaring independence.

Look at the bigger picture: the UDI has been going nowhere since this summer thanks to Russo-Serb diplomacy, even wikileaks has shown American weakness and Russia's power in the EU and now Thaci's implication in Organ-gate. It's all a slow Decline for those that aren't afraid to look and uh...laugh vengefully

Amer,

You asked which other wittnesses have been killed / murdered. May I provide some info to you.


Three "Dukagjini" witnesses killed (So called "Dukagjini group" consists of former KLA militants lead by Ramush and Daut Haradinaj.)

Bota Sot explains that the recent murder of a Kosova Policewoman was a part of a systematic liquidation of crucial witnesses against former KLA and Albanian mafia warlords in Pec-Decani area: "Three of these witnesses have been murdered: Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj and Sebahate Tolaj; while there have been several attempts to kill Ramiz Muriqi"

The first judicial process in Kosova against those that have committed crimes during the war and after seems to be unfinished. Unfortunately, although justice has spoken, "deputies" of the crime seem to be determined to continue the criminal activities to the end. These executors of these crimes, that still stroll around freely in Dukagjin and in Kosovo, have on their "black list" all living witnesses of the so-called "Dukagjini Process" which was held at the end of last year.

Those that remember the trial against the "Dukagjini Group" know that the main witnesses, in the trial against those accused of killing the four fighters of the brigade "Mërgimi", have been Col. Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj, Vesel Muriqi, and Ramiz Muriqi etc. Amongst those fighters of the former Brigade 134, commanded by Col. Tahir Zemaj, that had information about the killing of the four "Mërgimi" fighters, was Sebahate Tolaj. Three of these personalities have been murdered: Tahir Zemaj, Ilir Selimaj and Sebahate Tolaj; while there have been several attempts to kill Ramiz Muriqi.

This dark chapter of the crime in Dukagjini completely darkens the horizon of free Kosova even four years after the expulsion of the Serbian military forces from Kosova. It is also killing of the bloodied freedom of Kosova and a killing against witnesses that testify for crimes against humanity that are committed during the war or after it. The murder of Sebahate Tolaj and wounding of Jusuf Haklaj and Hysen Lataj (the three were members of the Investigation Unit for Serious Crimes in Pec), is another criminal act against all those fighters of freedom.

But, why was Sebahate Tolaj murdered in an ambush?

Sebahate Tolaj has been an officer and one of the highest-ranking officers of FARK (Armed Forces of Kosova Republic) of the Defense Ministry of Republic of Kosova. She was a comrade of the legendary commandants Sali Çeku and Tahir Zemaj. She also participated in the glorious battle of Koshare. After the war she worked for the KPS where she has been an outstanding member.

According to information from Peja, Sebahate Tolaj and Isuf Haklaj have been directly involved in investigations over the murder of Col. Tahir Zemaj who was murdered on January 4, 2002. In fact, Sebahate Tolaj, at the moment of her assassination, seems to have had the file with investigations about killing of Col. Tahir Zemaj. Considering this fact and the nature of killings this year in the Dukagjini region, we could say that perpetrators of these crimes are those that execute the orders given by higher "ranking" individuals that are directly involved in the "Dukagjini Process". Therefore, they are servants of those order-givers that are in prison now or of somebody that is a "civilian" today, but that at the time of execution of the four members of the "Mërgimi" brigade were in high command positions of the KLA.

Therefore, this murder is also directly connected with the trial process and sentencing of the "Dukagjini Group" because of the fact that all those persons murdered were witnesses in this process or investigators of serious crimes in Pec and Dukagjini. The murder of Sebahate Tolaj and wounding of Isuf Haklaj and Hysen Lataj is another serious criminal act that seriously threatens the freedom in Kosova. This killing is another black chronicle of killings in Dukagjin. Will these killings in Dukagjin and Kosovo end once and for all times?

Amer,

You tell me that info is new to you, or you just play ignorant?

"Asked whether he had any material evidence to support his report, Marty pointed out that PACE was not a judicial investigative body and that his job was only to present the report. "

-- You either have evidence or you don't. You're saying you don't have any. You can simply say no you don't have any evidence rather than try to cover yourself through an elongated answer.


"The outgoing Kosovo Albanian prime minister has an important role in criminal operations in Kosovo, the CoE rapporteur said, identifying him as the boss of an infamous crime ring, which has more than once been linked to a series of illegal activities. "

-- How do you know; you just stated you have no evidence?

Aaah, now I make the link... that's why Mr. Miroslav Gavrilović said some months ago that recognizing Kosovo is a sin... It must be because that is done by those who have Satan as leader :)

"My report on crimes in Kosovo is not directed against Albanians".

Come on Dick you really think we are fools? We all know your biggot kind, and what you stand for. Did you find the CIA camps in Europe, so you could save the world and bring world piece!?

I don't really want to call you a racist, cause I truly think you are no better race than Albanians in every sense of the word, but at least save us your usual fancy pantsy European political blaber and stop acting as being impartial, just and having the K-Alb interest in mind.

We know you are not that dumb, to not understand the consequences of your report on Kosovo independence and K-Alb lives. If you were interested in justice, you could have gone to court and not engage in a PR war to claim guilt outside the court of law and without a due process.

When Regan used to say that politics is like prostitution, for sure he was refering first, to your kind... not that you are the only one in Europe, but you indeed stick out like a sour thumb.

You find a small and inpoverished people, in a delicate situation and you pound on it....typical cowardice.

These types of idiots and criminals must pay. And I hope that Dick will pay in court or from a patriot – but he MUST pay.

These KLA=Albanian death camps must be investigated. This investigation is eleven years too late. Albania should have sanctions imposed on it until it allows a complete investigation into its role in supporting the KLA and it's alleged organ trafficking. It seems to be a source of instability in the Balkans, particularly Serbia and Macedonia.
(Alexi Ozymandias, 22 December 2010 14:51) ...wow that is something new Alexis you seems are new in this beautiful world talking about unstable!!!???

this is all so funny.
how come there's nothing and people still talk about it?
how come DICK doesnt trust Hague, Eulex, he says witnesses are killed, the evidence is missing , he names places but everybody can name places, everybody can say that witnesess are murdered, everybody might say that evidence is destroyed, everybody might find a reason for a crime , the thing is what is real?
how do we trust what dick marti says unless he provides facts.evidence and not assumptions/ doubts, perceptions and so so forth.
I have read his report , hes only assuming and he has not provided any evidence /facts, unless an evidence is a simple house lol
He is simply sensational and nothing else front page papers for sure he is well known / famous person now
what a funny story with a tragic subject

I'd like to ask Mr. Marty one question:
Does he believe in an independent Ksoova or not?

Preferably Id' like the answer to come from a location other than Moscow.
That will settle a lot of doubts in my mind.

For normal people "independent Kosova" is not a religion.

@Ben: OK, why wait than with the court regarding Dick Marty? Apply the kanuns and end of story.

Apropos, kanuns and killing. I think, Albanians should not touch Dick Marty even with a finger - would anything happen to him, that would be self-incriminating.

"wonder how many albanians in kosovo that are not PDK stooges actually believe that.
(insider, 23 December 2010 09:47) "

"[ICTY] Court representative Nerma Jelačić said that the claims of certain Serbian officials that a number of prosecution witnesses in the Tribunal’s witness protection program had been murdered, were “untrue”." B92 wasn't quoting Albanians.
