HLC Kosovo Press Release : “The flight of Drenica Group members is shameful for Kosovo”

fdh_kosovo_logoThe Humanitarian Law Center Kosovo (HLC Kosovo) expresses its deep disappointment in the institutions of Kosovo, as well as civil society and parts of the media, for allowing the flight of the accused for war crimes against civilian population: Sami Lushtaku, Ismet Haxha and Sahit Jashari from their detention. This case testifies that the justice and security system cannot be seen as serious state institutions, and as such the Kosovo state cannot pretend to be a serious party, or be treated equally and with dignity by the international mechanisms and other states.

Serbia, which now is a candidate for EU membership, has much to do to address its long and troubling legacy of human rights violations before it can claim this prize.
