In an opinion piece published on the online edition of Koha, columnist Enver Robelli writes that Kosovo buried with high honours a group of “evildoers” killed in a “senseless” clash with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) authorities. “These self-styled liberators left hundreds of residents in Kumanovo homeless and endangered hundreds of others for Skopje’s secret services. No ‘national cause’ was defended in Kumanovo because the decision about what means to employ to fight for their rights is taken by Macedonian Albanians and not racketeers from Kosovo,” writes Robelli. He adds that among those killed in the armed incident in Kumanovo there are persons known for drug trade, racketeering, vote theft, criminal acts and casino lords. “To call them heroes is more than dirty business,” and to bury them alongside freedom fighters is to stain Kosovo’s liberation efforts, claims Robelli further. When people with criminal records are honoured, it should come as no surprise why western countries insist on the establishment of the special court since as a society, Kosovo has failed in putting them behind bars on its own. And while all this is happening, all Kosovo leaders are silent. “A society that gives in to criminals – regardless of their nationality – is not deserving of freedom. Kosovo society has never been less deserving of freedom than today,” concludes Robelli.
