The adviser of the rapporteur for Kosovo in the European Parliament, Viola von Cramon, Gjorgje Bojovic, has said that an online campaign has been launched against him regarding the statements he made in 2015 about war crimes in Kosovo.
Bojović has announced that through a number of posts, mainly from Kosovo, a coordinated online campaign has begun against him, stating that he has denied the crimes committed in '98-'99 and that he is not suitable to be an advisor to Viola von Cramon, "as a Russian spy/Serbian agent."
Bojović on the "X" social network has also shared posts where he is criticized for his statements from 2015, while he also included a video where he says that some mistakes are made when some crimes committed in Kosovo are called genocide because they were not genocide. but war crimes.
"If the idea was to intimidate or discredit me - I'm sorry, but you failed," he wrote further.
Among the critical posts that Bojović has distributed is the one written by Sharr Jakupi, former chief of staff in the cabinet of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Donika Gërvalla.
"Unfortunately, Viola von Cramon is not the only Brussels official who cooperates with genocide and war crimes deniers. This issue extends from the offices of MPs to senior officials, revealing a disturbing attraction to Russian/Serbian chauvinist perspectives", he wrote in "X".
Von Cramon came to the defense of her adviser, who raised the question of who will be helped with those posts, that "of course not Kosovo and its European integration".
"Fake news, disinformation campaigns, government propaganda... will not change anyone's position, but will simply weaken Kosovo's chances of progressing quickly. This is sad for the country," she wrote in "X".
The rapporteur for Kosovo in the European Parliament made this reaction after the former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo, Petrit Selimi, emphasized that fake profiles on various social platforms, which support the party in power - Vetëvendosje Movement, are attacking each and every one of them. foreigner - ambassador, MEP, emissary - who has any criticism of their leader, Albin Kurti.
"I am concerned when I see fake profiles run by the Government that personally attack friends of Kosovo like Viola von Cramon (and her staff), QUINT ambassadors and diplomats (some of whom, like Hovenieri, have helped Kosovo to from the time of Ahtisaari or Rambuje), Ali Ahmet, Edi Rama, and others", wrote Selimi in "X".
"Youth Initiative for Human Rights", the organization in which he worked in 2015, also reacted to Bojović's case.
"We believe that young people have the right to ask questions that interest them, express their opinion and question the dominant narratives imposed by political elites. Their role in dealing with the past is to build an inclusive democratic culture, and allow for conversations that respect the victims," the YIHR statement said. /Telegrafi/
