HLC slams Kosovo PM over Krasniqi case

"HLC Kosovo believes that this behaviour is contrary to the principles of the rule of law and independent judiciary, which are the goals of independent Kosovo. Bearing in mind the fact that, on 10 August 2006, the International Trial Chamber pronounced Selim Krasniqi, Bedri Zymberi and Agron Krasniqi guilty of war crime, illegal detention and kidnapping of Albanians in the village of Drenovac (municipality of Mališevo), the Prime Minister's visit to the convicted and temporarily released General and his statement that "Kosovo needs men like General Selim Krasniqi“ sent a message to the public that certain citizens of Kosovo, such as General Selim Krasniqi, are above the law and that Kosovo needs them regardless of the fact that they were accused and convicted of war crimes“, the statement reads.

The HLC goes on to warn that the Commander of the Kosovo Protection Corps General Sulejman Selimi’s visit to the convicted General Selim Krasniqi, showed that this institution supported its members convicted of war crimes, which the HLC does not see as contributing to the process of building the democratic institutions in Kosovo in any way.

The statement reminds that the International Prosecutor of the District Court in Prizren filed an indictment against Selim Krasniqi et al in 2004 for war crimes against civilian population, unlawful detention with fatal consequences, kidnapping, and kidnapping with fatal consequences. The trial Chamber presided by International Judge Vinod Boolell pronounced Selim Krasniqi, Bedri Zymberi and Agron Krasniqi guilty on 10 August 2006 and convicted them to seven years of imprisonment each. Due to a lack of evidence, the charges against Xhavit Elshani, Isuf Gashui and Islam Gashi were dropped.
