Tahiraj on the investigation into Sheholli: Justice must uncover every collaboration with Serbia, regardless of title

Security affairs expert Saim Tahiraj has commented on the indictment against Fatmir Sheholli, raising the possibility that the investigation could also lead to other individuals suspected of collaborating with Serbia.

In a statement to “Bota sot,” Tahiraj stressed that the continuation of the investigation and the publication of the facts could bring before the law individuals holding high academic titles, including doctors of science.

He raised the question of which other people may turn out to have been involved in the Sheholli case as collaborators with Serbia, while not ruling out the discovery of an influential academic figure.

According to Tahiraj, the large funds of the country’s adversaries may have lured people with high scientific degrees as well, but that does not necessarily mean they possessed strong human and national character.

He underscored that a diploma or academic title cannot be taken as a guarantee of an individual’s integrity and character. Knowledge, he said, is acquired through universities and lecture halls, while conscience, responsibility toward the nation and character are built throughout life, particularly within the family and through education.

Tahiraj called on the security and justice institutions to continue the investigative process without compromise, so that the innocent can be distinguished from those responsible and all the facts can be made public.

He stated that, if the existence of Serbian spies or collaborators is proven, the law must be applied equally to everyone, regardless of who they are or what titles they hold. Tahiraj concluded that the truth must be uncovered once and for all.
