After the guilty verdict sentencing Endrit Nika to 18 years in prison for the murder of their daughter, the family of Maria Clara Urdangaray expressed that their daughter can now rest in peace. However, the Argentine woman\u2019s mother and father said that Endrit Nika can never be punished enough for what he did and announced that they will appeal the Basic Court of Prishtina\u2019s verdict to the Court of Appeals, seeking a life sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While speaking to journalists, Maria Clara\u2019s parents held the flag of Kosovo and banners reading \u201cJustice for Maria Clara.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victim\u2019s mother, Magdalena Urdangaray, said that they have always believed in the justice system of Kosovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cToday Maria Clara Urdangaray can rest in peace. Despite all the difficulties\u2014it has been hard from the start to bring justice\u2014we have always trusted Kosovo\u2019s justice system. We greatly appreciate the work of Prosecutor Armend Hamiti, who was always dedicated and today has proven his commitment by presenting all the evidence and upholding the truth. Clara has received justice, and we thank all the authorities of Kosovo,\u201d <\/em>said her mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maria Clara\u2019s father, Facundo Urdangaray, said that nothing can console him because their daughter is already dead, while Endrit Nika continues to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur daughter is still dead; nothing can console us, while he continues to live, and our daughter ended her life in the most brutal way. We had to witness everything before our daughter died,<\/em>\u201d Maria Clara\u2019s mother said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking about the sentence, Maria Clara\u2019s mother stated that Endrit Nika can never be punished enough for what he did and that they will appeal the verdict, seeking a life sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe can never be punished enough\u2026 This is something we will consult with our lawyers, Betim Shala, and most likely we will appeal this decision. In Argentina\u2019s judicial system, the murderer of a woman\u2014a femicide\u2014is sentenced to life imprisonment\u2026 (we are seeking life imprisonment). Most certainly,\u201d<\/em> she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, the Basic Court of Prishtina sentenced Endrit Nika to 18 years in prison for the murder of the Argentine citizen in Fush\u00eb Kosov\u00eb in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the verdict announcement, both the accused\u2019s family and the victim\u2019s family, Maria Clara Urdangaray, were present in the courtroom. After the judge, Gazmend Bahtiri, announced the verdict, the victim\u2019s family called for \u201cJustice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the guilty verdict sentencing Endrit Nika to 18 years in prison for the murder of their daughter, the family of Maria Clara Urdangaray expressed that their daughter can now rest in peace.
