The DASh report, the opposition considers disturbing, the government denies interference in the justice system
The US State Department's report on Kosovo is seen as worrying for the opposition parties and civil society. According to them, government interventions in the justice system, the level of corruption, the impunity of government officials, domestic violence and gender-based violence are reflected in the same. However, the ruling party, the Vetëvendosje Movement, denies interference in the justice system, while stressing that they will analyze every international report that monitors the efficiency of Kosovo's institutions. The deputy of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Blerta Deliu, tells KosovaPress that the DASh report does not highlight any progress in Kosovo during 2023. The opposition deputy also highlights the serious restrictions on freedom of expression and freedom of the media, including through violence or threats against journalists. Meanwhile, according to the Democratic League of Kosovo, the DASh report highlights the serious corruption of the Kurti Government. "The Democratic Union of Kosovo has received with concern the latest report of the US Department of State on Kosovo for the year 2023. This report is a confirmation of all our concerns that have been raised continuously. The said report gave a seal to the Government's incompetence and corruption, as it was also mentioned in the "serious corruption of the Government" report, it is said in their statement to the media on Tuesday. On the other hand, the researcher at the Democratic Institute of Kosovo (KDI), Vullnet Bugaqku told KosovaPress that the DASh report highlights some problems faced by the justice system, such as the lack of accountability and inefficiency in handling corruption cases. According to him, the report emphasizes that the government has not shown efficiency in the implementation of the law and has also not taken any legal measures against government officials who have been involved in corrupt affairs. However, these claims that are highlighted in the report are denied by the deputy of the LVV, at the same time the chairman of the committee for legislation, Adnan Rrustemi. According to him, the government has never intervened in the justice system, in the sense of postponing specific cases. However, he says that they have constantly sought and will seek more efficiency from the justice system in the fight against organized crime and corruption. The report of the State Department for Human Rights states that there were no significant changes during 2023 for the human rights situation in Kosovo. The State Department report adds that the government of Kosovo took credible, but not continuous, steps to identify, investigate, charge and punish officials who may have abused human rights./E.Zeqiri/ Full news in the system prepaid...
