Rexhep Selimi, one of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) founders and Vetevendosje MP, said that what the EU Special Investigative Task (SITF) prosecutor, Clint Williamson, presented were the results of a two-year investigation which produced no evidence that KLA committed crimes. Selimi said the report which “claims and presupposes” that crimes were committed against Serbs and others but without containing names or bodies of victims comes at a time when bodies of Albanian victims are still being recovered from mass graves of Serbia. “A crime is a crime wherever and whenever it happened.

LDK MP Arben Gashi told Politiko that new parliamentary elections are not the right solution, “because they would contain a great potential for conflict and clashes between groups and this would be very dangerous for the country”. Gashi said that in order to avoid violent events, the Constitutional Court needs to pave way to the establishment of institutions as quickly as possible. “First we need to wait for the final ruling of the Constitutional Court and then we will make the right decisions,” he added.
