Head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) parliamentary group, Avdullah Hoti, said that there can be no justice for Kosovo Liberation Army fighters without all stakeholders providing authentic lists of who took part in the conflict. In a Facebook post, Hoti wrote: “Only once those lists are made public, will the true fighters receive deserved recognition…Until then, tax money from Kosovo’s poor citizens will be unjustly used.” Hoti further added that his party would strongly support any move aimed at “full enlightenment” of this process.

Prime Minister of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, met today a group of Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) veterans who are protesting over the discontinuance of their pensions as of August under the justification that the budget needs to be reviewed. The veterans are also accusing the head of the KLA veterans association, Hysni Gucati, of manipulating the lists of veterans in exchange for money.

Representatives of KLA veterans associations have called on the Kosovo Assembly MPs to urgently vote on changing the law on special court so that it included trying crimes committed by Serb forces in Kosovo. KLA war association representatives made the call from inside the Assembly following the French court postponing a decision on the possible extradition Ramush Haradinaj to Serbia. KLA veterans said they would not leave the Assembly until the MPs vote on the changes proposed earlier in the session by PDK MP, Nait Hasani.
