Kosovo’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs, tried to nominate Sami Lushtaku’s lawyer, Ingo Rich, Consul of Honor in Duinsburg. Minister Enver Hoxhaj gave his approval for this decision, however, the idea and the effort remained only an attempt, because Germany did not allow this, being that Ingo Risch is a German citizen.

Rich is a German lawyer, who worked as a judge for UNMIK and EULEX. Lately he is engaged as lawyer of Sami Lushtaku, who is being accused for war crimes against civilian population, including murder. He is licensed at Kosovo’s Chamber of Lawyers.
