Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has called for the establishment of a Special Court to investigate and try the killing of Bosnian civilians by snipers in the 90s.
According to him, it is said that Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić also played a role in the "Sarajevo Safari", where for a sum of money he could shoot Bosnian civilians from the hills surrounding Sarajevo, KosovaPress reports.
Kurti, at the second international scientific conference of the Institute of War Crimes in Kosovo, said that the so-called "yellow house" for organ trafficking in Albania has never existed and that it is part of Serbia's hybrid narrative against the KLA.
"The so-called yellow house in Albania has never existed as a place for organ trafficking by KLA members, but is part of Serbia's hybrid narrative against the KLA and Albania. It was initiated by Russian MP Konstantin Kosachev on April 15, 2008, not even two months after Kosovo's declaration of independence. There is no yellow house, but there is more and more information and facts that there was a 'Sarajevo safari', in which the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, is said to have played a role. For a small amount of money, Bosnian civilians could be shot with a sniper from the hills around Sarajevo in the besieged city in the early 90s. A special international court would have to be engaged to investigate and try the crimes of the 'Sarajevo safari'," he said.
Kurti, speaking about the former KLA leaders who are being tried in The Hague, said that the liberation struggle was just and a necessity for freedom and survival.
"It cannot and will not change a fundamental and historical truth. The KLA's war was just and necessary for freedom and survival, not out of a desire for violence or power. It was a response to an oppressive regime and a systematic repression to the point of apartheid and the denial of the fundamental rights of our people, to the point of genocide. This process cannot question the liberation and anti-colonial character of our war, nor Kosovo's legitimate aspiration for freedom and equality," Kurti added.
On the other hand, the executive director of the Institute of War Crimes in Kosovo, Atdhe Hetemi, said that the second conference is proof of the commitment to deepening scientific dialogue and broadening the perspective for war crimes research.
"Evidence of our commitment to deepening the scientific dialogue and broadening the perspective for war crimes research. The discussions that will take place during these three days aim to provide in-depth analyses, disciplinary approaches and critical reflections on the long-term consequences of war, not only as a historical experience, but also as a reality that continues to influence the life of the individual, the state structure and the processes of state-building. Our conference aims to document the past and contribute to the production of new knowledge, comparable at the international level", he said.
Kosovo today marked the 18th anniversary of independence. /KP/
