On her first official visit to Pristina, the president of the new Kosovo Specialist Chambers, established to prosecute wartime and post-war crimes, said witnesses will be protected.

Ekaterina Trendafilova, the president of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, which will try former Kosovo Liberation Army members for wartime and post-war abuses, promised during a visit to Pristina on Thursday that the new Hague-based court will ensure the safety of those who testify.

“Anyone who would decide to intimidate witnesses or to bribe witnesses… to create some problems for the witness or for the members of their family [will face charges],” Trendafilova told an information session for representatives of Kosovo civil society.

“The prosecutor is obliged to immediately start an investigation,” she added.
