The Association for War Damage "Raising the Voice" has submitted files to the Constitutional Court of Kosovo for the evaluation of the constitutionality of the decisions of the Supreme Court of Kosovo against the Government of Serbia.

The director of this association, Jahir Bejta, said that the courts in Kosovo are rejecting their request for compensation for damages during the last war in Kosovo.

He requested that these submitted files, which contain details of damages, be taken into account and not rejected by the Constitutional Court.

Bejta emphasized that the Kosovar courts are competent to examine lawsuits for compensation of damages.

For this, the lawyer Ardian Bajraktari emphasized that based on past experiences, when the parties are not authorized, this submission of the file for the compensation of damages from this association will hardly be taken into account.

In addition, Bejta emphasized that they will seek justice for Serbian crimes also in international courts.

Meanwhile, the member of the presidency Ibrahim Xhaka calls the negligence of local institutions regarding this issue ugly.

As for the legal issue for this request, the lawyer Ardian Bajraktari in a statement for KosovaPress said that the issue of addressing the Constitutional Court is also an individual right, but they must be authorized parties.

He said that based on past similar cases, if the associations are not directly involved parties, he considers that they may not be examined at all.

Regarding this issue, KosovaPress has also sent questions to the Department for Transitional Justice and Support of Crime Victims within the Ministry of Justice, and is awaiting an answer. /Z. Zeneli/
