Special Court Must Bring Kosovo’s Criminals to Justice (BIRN)
By: Shkelzen Gashi
The new Special Court to try former Kosovo Liberation Army members for wartime and post-war crimes is not an attack on the struggle for independence, but an attempt to prosecute criminals.
The majority of people in Kosovo believe that the Special Court is an unfair creation, but the blame for its establishment, first and foremost, lies with us.
For all these years, and especially after the declaration of independence, Kosovo society has failed to create - as Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia have done - a specialist court that would deal with crimes committed by Kosovo Liberation Army members.
