The reasons are known: participation in special propaganda against the KLA and the Republic of Kosovo, and personal connections and cooperation with suspicious individuals, including collaborators from North Macedonia, negatively affecting the country\u2019s development and integrity. OVL-U\u00c7K demands full accountability and immediate actions from authorities to protect the truth and honor of the KLA\u2019s struggle. If our demands are not met, we, as war veteran categories, are obliged to take further actions,\u201d said Gucati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gucati emphasized that Assembly Speaker Dimal Basha cannot avoid responsibility for his writings merely through a statement. He noted that the organization does not have open doors for Basha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMr. Basha is involved in the scientific work he produced. He cannot avoid responsibility with a statement trying to justify it\u2026 Mr. Basha does not have open doors at OVL-U\u00c7K. Not only him, but people like him. They may have open doors in Serbia,\u201d said Gucati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gucati also said that, apart from Foreign Minister Donika G\u00ebrvalla, there are other witnesses from the Vet\u00ebvendosje party in the Special Court, and he indicated that names will be revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn 2012, Dimal Basha co-authored a scientific paper claiming that the KLA cooperated with drug dealers. This is a lie or defamation, as is typical of LVV. In that political party, we know they also have witnesses in the Special Court, starting with Donika G\u00ebrvalla, who submitted documents at the time which she herself acknowledged. Others will come forward with names. We will no longer hide anything from anyone because we are not afraid of anyone,\u201d said Gucati.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday, media reported on a study co-authored by Kosovo Assembly Speaker Dimal Basha, which, among other things, contains writings against the Kosovo Liberation Army.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Organization of Kosovo Liberation Army War Veterans (OVL-U\u00c7K) is demanding the immediate dismissal of Dimal Basha from the position of Assembly Speaker, as well as the initiation of investigations against him by the prosecutor\u2019s office, as reported by KosovaPress.
