The United States Ambassador in Kosovo, Greg Delawie, said today in Pristina that he does not plan to apologize for his statements condemning the use of violence and in support of democracy. Delawie, who is attending a round-table on the fight against corruption, also said: “I am glad I live in a country such as Kosovo where freedom of speech is guaranteed by the Constitution. I won’t apologize for supporting justice and I will never support the use of teargas and violence in Kosovo. I believe that corruption is a major problem and that it damages the morale of the people. Corruption is eating away the present and the future of Kosovo. Prosecutors and judges need to do more in order to gain the trust of the people … We need to hold those who violate the law accountable. Prosecutors and judges must stop these phenomena and bring these people to justice, but in doing so they also need the help of the people. These cases require concrete evidence and not only rumors… People involved in corruption affairs should have no room in the institutions”.
