Kosovo Special Court ‘Dinner Incident’ Sparks Impartiality Calls (Balkan Insight)
After a judge appointed by the Hague-based Specialist Chambers was seen dining with a Kosovo lawyer whose clients have been summoned for questioning, the war crimes court was urged to take more care to demonstrate impartiality.
Judges at the Hague-based Specialist Chambers, which will try former Kosovo Liberation Army fighters for wartime and post-war crimes, should be careful who they meet in order to maintain the confidence of everyone involved in investigations and trials, the Humanitarian Law Centre in Kosovo said.
The Humanitarian Law Centre’s call came after judge Vladimir Mikula, who has been appointed to the Specialist Chambers, was seen dining with Kosovo lawyer Arianit Koci at a restaurant in Pristina.
