"Green light for Kosovo war crimes court"

"The ruling majority has 67 members in the assembly, and the passage the law practically depends on support from minorities - which have 20 assembly members - as the opposition is against the law.

Kosovo's and international officials have warned that the UN Security Council will establish a special war crimes court in case the Kosovo assembly fails to do so"

so it would be smart of the minorities to vote against - then a real UN court would be established instead of a 'Kosova court' which is likely to be as 'effective' and 'willing' to investigating in KLA war crimes as KPS is when it comes to crimes committed by Albanians or fighting the drug mafia clans (which were financing KLA terrorism, whose members became KPS police officers, to close the circle)

A special UN court is the only institution that is fit to even give justice a chance. A court in Prisitna is laughable, whether it's handled by the KLA themselves, or by the EU. Reason? They were both implicit in the worst of the war crimes massacres and rapes, are they really going to convict themselves? Please. The EU at the very least knew crimes were taking place https://theremustbejustice.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/italian-general-we-were-finding-bodies-of-killed-serbs-every-morning-in-kosovo-mauro-del-vecchio-former-general-of-italian-army-in-kim/

So the point with this court is to water down Albanian war crimes. But even this will mean a couple sacrificial lambs. And either Thaci gets to pick some out of the bunch, or his sponsors will do it for him. Once he picks someone from another narco klan, it could mean huge internal strife.

Albanian said, "So don't get your hopes high thinking this is to target freedom fighters, or you will be deeply disappointed."

You are so full of it and many decent Albanians, some murdered, know better.

Kosovo: Set Up Special Court
Justice Needed for Post-War Crimes
December 16, 2014

http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/12/16/kosovo-set-special-court

"The first chief prosecutor of the task force, Clint Williamson, announced on July 29, 2014, that he had enough evidence for indictments against some former senior KLA officials who he said were responsible for an organized campaign of abductions, illegal detentions, unlawful killings, and sexual violence. He said most victims were members of minority groups – Serbs, Roma, and others – but also Kosovo Albanians considered collaborators with Serbs or political opponents of the KLA leadership."

There are thousands of serbian criminals in Kosova today who have yet to be charged for their crimes. So don't get your hopes high thinking this is to target freedom fighters, or you will be deeply disappointed."

This court will target only bloodthirsty terrorists and no "freedom fighters", starting with Mr. Snake himself. This is a special court for crimes vs serbs and other minorities so disappointing for you no serbs whatsoever will be targeted.

Lol KLA is the last organization to be involved in this court. This court is for war crime criminals starting with Serbs and Romas. There are thousands of serbian criminals in Kosova today who have yet to be charged for their crimes. So don't get your hopes high thinking this is to target freedom fighters, or you will be deeply disappointed. I'm sure we have some Albanians who worked with serbians as well, they need to be punished too. This is great news, we can finally prosecute Serbians in Kosova, where they will get fair and unbiased trial.

so it would be smart of the minorities to vote against - then a real UN court would be established instead of a 'Kosova court' which is likely to be as 'effective' and 'willing' to investigating in KLA war crimes as KPS is when it comes to crimes committed by Albanians or fighting the drug mafia clans (which were financing KLA terrorism, whose members became KPS police officers, to close the circle)

Joke , UN court was from June 1999 till January 2008, and was unable to do squat! during that time you did not respect UN, and now you are calling on UN court!!! WHAT A FOOL.

"during that time you did not respect UN, and now you are calling on UN court!!! WHAT A FOOL."
(the truth, 15 April 2015 17:53)

The fool must be you, I always respected the UN courts and its decisions, especially the courts in the Hague, even when they couldn't convict those war criminals like Haradinaj because his clan eliminated witnesses by 'suicides' or 'car accidents' or silenced them by other means. Even for those criminal elements there's the rule 'in dubio pro reo', as sad as it is, but this is not unusual when justice has to deal with mafia.

Maybe you should change your name to 'The Lie' ?

@Moderate Albanian

First of all we know damn well you have no Albanian blood in your blood vessels.
Secondly, wait and see how this court will operate, and who they will be going after.

KLA had no choice but to fight back with their limited capacity war equipments and training. You cannot go after someone who tried to defend kids and elderly from getting tortured and burned alive. You cannot prosecute freedom fighters that tried to prevent Serbs from raping their sisters,daughters in front of their families. What kinda savages are you Serbs to think for a second you have any weight in this matter?
2,000 people are still missing to this day, personal property robbed from homes and jewelry off of Albanian women was cut off with their fingers and hands. List goes on and on, now we all have these facts, shared with everyone these horrific tortures. Do you think you Serbs actually have a case?

Having Albanians, who excuse any crimes Albanians commit against non-Albanians, as well as Albanians of a different political sway, doing the judging, will just whitewash everything and make it seem as if Kosovo did its duty for the KLA's crimes.
The "international community" sponsored and covered up most all the crimes by its proxies in the Balkans - the Muslims and Croats/Catholics.

@Albanian

No one is re-writing history or diminishing crimes committed against Albanians. Get out of your clan mentality. Your hatred blinds you and does nothing to integrate and move Kosova forward.

Individuals, who wanted a monopoly on power, committed crimes for the sole purpose of gaining this power and increasing their personal wealth. They even killed their own to silence them.

There is no justification in killing the innocent and the infirmed whether they be Albanian, Serb, or Roma for personal gain.

I am no less Albanian because I believe these individuals must bear responsibility for their crimes.

@Albanian,

The best part about your comments is that you actually believe what you write. There's a difference between trolling in anger and being so naive you actually believe the propaganda you've been fed. Congratulations. You win the Internet Comment Award for today. I'd offer it to you, but you'd have to pull your head out of your hind quarters to receive it.

This court will target only bloodthirsty terrorists and no "freedom fighters", starting with Mr. Snake himself. This is a special court for crimes vs serbs and other minorities so disappointing for you no serbs whatsoever will be targeted.

-- Daniel you're so naive. Stereotypical Serb ultranationalist. Once the mechanisms are in place and the court has convicted a few people all it takes is an amendment to push the end date. No need for a super majority either as no new court is being created. Be careful what you ask for cause you might just get it. NATO and EU are cleaning the house. It doesn't matter whether you're an Albanian or Serb. If you killed a civilian you will be a target of this court eventually. As a matter of fact since you fought in Kosova and your IP address is quite easy to find, I'd suggest you to be very careful if your unit or you engaged in any activity where civilians lost their lives. You may become a person of interest soon. I'm sure there's Albanians here already saving some of your comments since you openly admitted to fighting in Kosova. Its not too far fetched for them to become court materials in the near future.

America tells Pristina to bend over, and Pristina complies.
(EU Dude, 17 April 2015 17:19)
If this is true it can only be that Belgrade has bent over so often to so many different parties it is no longer enjoyable for the US. I heard that Serbia was going to make the kilt the official dress code of govt officials meeting foreign diplomats in order to save time and make themselves more readily available.

(Ari Gold, 15 April 2015 20:51)
It never ceases to amaze me that the very same people who are so very critical of the ICTY which was mandated by the UNSC or rather a UN court and say it is biased and corrupt are the very same people who claim that only a UN court could be expected to be fair and impartial in Kosovo.
You can forget a UN court ever, as there will be nothing on Kosovo that comes out of the UNSC for a very very long time unless Serbia recognizes Kosovo and it removes Russia and China reason to allow membership.
You see the veto works 2 ways, and it was allowed to put the main responsibility for anything in Kosovo on the EU, so the US, France, and UK are not going to allow anything to pass that brings it back to the UNSC arena. While you have the potential Russian veto for anything the west proposes for Kosovo, you have the definite veto from one or all three on anything that Russia (Serbia) proposes for Kosovo. So for years to come there will be a UNSG report on Kosovo 4 maybe down to 2 times a year and there will be comments on the report and everyone will go home.

But if you Serbs really want to shelve the whole matter until the day when the UNSC can come to agreement on anything on Kosovo, I am sure you can get the cooperation from Pristina, just make the proposal. Hey maybe your grandkids can witness the trials long after you are gone, but then again what trials as all participants in the actions of the 90's will be long gone!

(Comm. Parrisson, 15 April 2015 16:20)
And what percentage of a chance do you think there would be a court set up by the UNSC. Everyone already agreed that the EU should be the arena that tackles this issue. Do you really think it is feasible that even Russia or China would back track and say no we don't want the EU to handle this but the UNSC??? Do you think that such a proposal even if it was made would not be vetoed by at least 1 of the other 3.
The closest you could come would be an extension of the ICTY with the instruction to focus on war crimes in Kosovo. Which would be for both sides not only Albanian but also Serbian. Which I agree with, for the real story has just come to light since the Hague discontinued new investigations. How many mass graves in Serbia have been uncovered that no one is facing justice for, because they have been blocked from investigation for years by the Serbian govt.
But I agree with the investigation as long as it is NOT just focused on one side. Not only would it be nice to see any crimes possibly committed by Kosovo leaders and get them out of the way for the future but also to rid the Serbian govt of those also responsible for such crimes as concealing these graves and any actions they committed.

America tells Pristina to bend over, and Pristina complies. Patience is wearing thin with Pristina & Tirana from the US & Brussels:

US Warns Kosovo: Approve New War Court Quickly
