On Friday, Vetëvendosja deputy Albin Kurti and two of his colleagues were arrested at the entrance of the Parliament of Kosovo. The Court of Kosovo had decided to imprison Kurti after he threw teargas into Parliament to obstruct the parliamentary session to discuss the border agreement with Montenegro. Kurti and his party had argued that the agreement expropriated land from Kosovo and was antipatriotic.
At the same time, PS deputy and former Minister of Interior Saimir Tahiri, investigated by the Prosecution of Serious Crimes for collaborating with an internationally operating drug trafficking organization managed by his cousins, who have been arrested in Italy, freely travels to Germany on “family business,” protected by a parliamentary majority that refuses to approve the Prosecution’s request to lift his immunity, so that he can be treated like a regular Albanian citizen.
So here we have two neighboring countries, both under control or “monitoring” of internationals, but with very different standards about justice.
