When was the last time an EU or German ambassador in Belgrade publicly demanded accountability or extradition by Vucic and Serbia? I challenge the German Ambassador to show it!
Selective justice is injustice with the official seal of the #EU. History is not judged in a courtroom, but in the memory of a nation. Why does the EU continue the agendas of Kremlin’s individuals sanctioned by the #US and of Dick Marty still after 2022? This demands an answer.
Perhaps the EU needs greater clarity in its public narrative. #Kosovo has been the most cooperative in the Western Balkans on war crimes trials—yet remains the most attacked.
Thread on @SpecialChambers: Kosovo was put under enormous pressure after the publication of the ludicrous Dick Marty report to establish a Special Court. Senior US officials, all the way to the White House and senior EU officials including Commissioners were directly involved. -1
Great piece by former Kosovo FM @PetritSelimi in @TheEconomist on President Trump’s Gaza plan. He shows how lessons from Kosovo can help shape a realistic path toward stability.
The Economist magazine has invited me to write on President Trump's plan for Gaza. I shared #Kosovo's own experience with interim international administration @UNMIKosovo. Here's the piece you'll find in print & online edition.
Because of Kurti & Osmani, Kosovo finds itself grouped with Georgia, European states whose independence & territorial integrity are safeguarded by U.S. support, yet both have reached the point where their strategic dialogues with the U.S are suspended. A regrettable place to be.
A group of Kosovo-based and international scholars & civil society voices express deep concern over the recent decision of the @SpecialChambers to admit documents from Serbian state institutions as evidence. Read our full public reaction in English and Albanian.
I’m ready for today’s protest in Prishtina.
When justice is no longer blind, it becomes a weapon. We stand for truth, dignity, and a fair trial.
Let’s make justice great again! 🇽🇰✊

Honored to meet days ago Rep. @PeteSessions 🇺🇸 to discuss the vital role of the #USA & #DonaldTrump in Kosovo’s peace, security & development. Raised concerns on the unjust #SpecialChamber process against KLA leaders & urged support for a fair, independent verdict.
A few days ago, I had the honor of meeting congressmen @RepKeithSelf. A great friend of #Kosovo. He reaffirmed his support for our #NATO aspirations, economic development. I also raised concerns about human rights violations by @SpecialChambers in the trial of #KLA leaders. 🇽🇰🇺🇸
A new low from a shameful and shameless tribunal that has turned international justice into a charade, democratic rights into empty words, and the goodwill of the Kosovo Parliament into the most brutal of boomerangs!
Congrats Ambassador @RichardGrenell!
Presidential Envoy for Special Missions is an excellent choice. I hope you will work on the problem with @SpecialChambers as well. 🇽🇰’s President @HashimThaciRKS is being mistreated judicially for 4 years now like President @realDonaldTrump.
EU just decided to pay another €100 million for @SpecialChambers, a chimera of a court that has spend already 1/2 a billion in 9 years to prosecute few founders of ragtag, mostly rural, Albanian guerrilla group. SC has become an institution projecting malfeasance & injustice.
