First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Glauk Konjufca, has said that when it comes to the KLA, there are no political parties.
Regarding Tuesday's march that will be held in defense of former KLA leaders, he said that this march is fair.
"In addition, his motto is very apt. It is not politics, but justice, it is necessary for us, for Kosovo, but for all those who are facing this injustice in the Specialized Chambers. It seems that the participation of the citizens of Kosovo will be great. We must show that we are unique as a population, as citizens, when we face accusations against the KLA and when it comes to the KLA, there are no political parties," he said in an interview for RTK.
Konjufca announced that he will be in The Hague. "The third time he will go back to The Hague is the closing process. These are the closing statements of the defense teams of Mr. Thaçi, Jakup Krasniqi, Mr. Selimi and Mr. Veseli. We as a state think that this was a scandalous indictment regarding the leaders of the General Staff of the Kosovo Liberation Army. We have a clear position that the KLA is at the base of the freedom and independence of our state. It is the most sublime value that the people of Kosovo have managed to create," said Konjufca.
Adding that the KLA has emerged from the popular fold. "It is not created from afar. It is not created by us, by political decrees. It is the popular awakening itself to protect our country from today's Serbian genocide. This is the Kosovo Liberation Army and who says that the purpose of the KLA was to cleanse Serbs or to eliminate other political figures, or to target national minorities or all those who disagree with the KLA. This is a very dangerous mistake, which has a very bad purpose, and this purpose is to cast a dark cloud over the statehood and independence of the Republic of Kosovo. Therefore, we will not allow this. We will raise our voice against these indictments and I am firmly convinced that because of the purity of the war that took place, which was a defensive war, not a costly war, not a war to destroy other peoples, but to raise our people towards freedom and independence. Precisely because of this, we firmly believe, in "the purity of our war and I strongly believe that in April these indictments, the Court will reject them, reject them as untenable. The leaders of the KLA will return to our midst and to their families, which they have been missing for so long. And Kosovo will win through this. I think that when this happens, then the biggest loser will be Serbia," he said.
Konjufca, along with Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Defense Minister Ejup Maqedonci, are participating in the Munich Security Conference.
He spoke about Kosovo's participation in this conference, which is one of the most important global security forums.
"Of course, Kosovo is a strict participant in the Munich conference. This is one of the most important global security forums, and when we are talking about everyone's security, they take into account that especially after 2022, after the unprovoked aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, even in the global aspect, foreign policy is becoming increasingly security-oriented and Kosovo of course must be present. Prime Minister Kurti was present. I also participated as Minister Macedonian to present our vision and positions regarding the defense and army of Kosovo. There were numerous meetings. We met with American senators, we met with representatives of Turkey, I also met with representatives of Estonia and Montenegro. I also had the opportunity to exchange views with Mr. Schmidt, the representative of the European Union for Bosnia, because the fate of Bosnia and the stability of Bosnia are of interest to us and we pay attention there as well. There have been dozens of very important meetings with prime ministers. Kurti also met with the German Foreign Minister, I think, who was a great presence. "I wish the Republic of Kosovo a successful participation in this conference," said the First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Glauk Konjufca.
