The Minister of Justice, Albulena Haxhiu, has accused Serbia of having a hand in the escapes that took place from prisons in Kosovo through criminal groups. She said that from the information they have, these escapes were created, organized, co-organized and facilitated by criminal groups connected to power structures in the territory of Serbia, Gazeta Express reports.
Haxhiu emphasized that such support is definitely intentional, organized and connected with the goal of harming the public, constitutional and legal order of Kosovo.
It is important to highlight the fact that the escape of some persons who are being sought by the responsible institutions in the Republic of Kosovo is only taking place in one direction: that of the territory of Serbia. The information of our bodies suggests that at least in some cases, these escapes were created, organized, co-organized and facilitated by criminal groups connected to power structures in the territory of Serbia. This organization consists in giving the guarantee that for such persons the territory of Serbia, the criminal groups there, and certain levels of power, offer them protection from the criminal prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo. The shield is not only given to non-extradition but to any informational cooperation with the justice bodies of the Republic of Kosovo. Such support is undoubtedly intentional, organized and related to the purpose of harming the public, constitutional and legal order of the Republic of Kosovo. Offering the territory of Serbia as a shield against the prosecution of the criminal bodies of our Republic serves the crime and openly contributes to the violation of the institutional and legal stability of the Republic of Kosovo. The systematic frequency of these cases in this period has no other meaning than the aggressive political goal of our northern neighbor”, she said.
She has requested a local and international investigation into the organization and co-organization of the escape of prisoners, detainees and those wanted by justice in Kosovo, on the territory of Serbia.
On the other hand, the use of the act of the criminal murder of the policeman by the interior minister in Serbia as the basic impetus for legitimization to create the need for a cause of counterattack against the Albanians and their institutions, or to create a circumstance of reconciliation with the events of unmatched in any dimension, is completely unacceptable and intentional. This rhetoric of the Government in Belgrade is a warning for future events cooked up in Belgrade that have a clear chauvinistic and ethno-political perspective. A local and international investigation is necessary to investigate the systematic acts of incitement, organization and co-organization of the escape of prisoners, detainees and those wanted by justice in Kosovo, on the territory of Serbia, and the creation there of a protective environment against the impunity of criminal prosecution of criminals by the bodies of the Republic of Kosovo. As the Minister of Justice, I offer the full cooperation of our state in this direction”, she continued.
