The serious incident was recorded on the morning of May 25 on the “Elbasan–Librazhd” national road, specifically in the village of Mengël, where the vehicle driven by the director fatally struck the minor in front of the “Sulejman Rranci” nine-year school.

That day, the victim had accompanied his sister to school together with his mother, while he himself attended classes in the afternoon.

Witnesses at the scene said that as the mother and son were heading to a nearby shop, the minor is suspected of having slipped from his mother’s hand and crossed into the path of Bozo’s car.

In an interview with EO, he stressed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora should issue an official position on the matter, while the case should also be raised in European Union institutions.

“I would like this to be the position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, to in some way appeal to citizens, but I am calling for something that is necessary in any case. That is the international route, whether through Serbia or in other countries. Serbia is part of the European Union’s free movement system and every complaint of ours should be addressed to the European Union so that it can, in some way, exert influence, reciprocally, and even make their free movement conditional as well. Just as Serbia is making it conditional for our citizens without any pretext,” he said.

Speaking about the appeal by the Kosovo Liberation Army War Veterans’ Organization to avoid passing through Serbia, Ibishi said such a recommendation is justified for former KLA members.

“Now there are several issues. The War Veterans’ Organization has appealed that members of the Kosovo Liberation Army should avoid it, which is appropriate, because since the post-war period they have started issuing arrest warrants everywhere for KLA members from Kosovo and they will certainly take measures while claiming various proceedings,” he said.

According to Ibishi, other citizens do not necessarily need to avoid transiting through Serbia, but they should be cautious while traveling.

“But other citizens should by no means avoid that destination, but should be careful. The various posts they make are being monitored by Serbia’s intelligence service, and it is also everywhere in cooperation with the police, carrying out detentions, harassment, police custody and other actions,” he said.

He also commented on the case publicized by lawyer Arianit Koci, according to which a citizen from Kosovo claims he was forced to give 2,000 euros to Serbian police officers to avoid arrest.

“As for this latest case that happened, I think it is a matter of corruption within Serbia’s police, which in this specific case had absolutely no basis to ask for 2,000 euros. For what reason? Meaning perhaps that is a matter of a court decision, it is not an administrative decision or a fine. There is no such fine, for what reason or under what pretext,” he said.

Ibishi repeated that the European Union should take measures against the actions of the Serbian authorities, warning that this situation could also produce reciprocity.

“But of course we must also appeal to the European Union to take measures against Serbia, because they have free movement everywhere, even in Kosovo, and this will lead to reciprocal measures. Now I am not saying that measures should be taken against the citizens of Serbia, but the reality is that Serbia is arbitrarily stopping our citizens without any basis, arresting them, placing them in police custody, pretrial detention and other measures, and in the end releasing them without a court decision,” he said.

On July 1, Osman Selmani was arrested at the Mutivodë border crossing. Although Serbian institutions initially presented him as a former KLA soldier, the War Veterans’ Organization clarified on Friday that Selmani is not listed as having been part of the KLA and called on citizens to avoid crossing through Serbia.

On the other hand, lawyer Arianit Koci has announced that a citizen from Kosovo claims he was forced to give 2,000 euros to Serbian police officers at the Batrovc/Bajakovo border crossing. According to him, he was threatened with arrest and pretrial detention after photos with the Albanian flag and the KLA flag were found on his children’s phones during an inspection.

According to him, in this process all of the Prosecution’s appeals have been approved, while none of the defense’s appeals have been accepted by the Appeals Panel.

“The Appeals Panel of the Specialist Chambers in the trial of Hashim Thaçi for contempt of court has just approved yet another prosecution appeal. The current score in his two cases still under review: • Prosecution appeals: 3 out of 3 approved (100% success) • Defense appeals: 44 out of 44 rejected (100% failure),” he wrote.

Misetic also said that, after its mandate is completed, the Special Court should undergo an evaluation process, while raising questions about the fairness of this court.

“When the Kosovo Specialist Chambers are subjected to an inevitable assessment after the end of their mandate, judicial fairness will be one of the main topics of debate,” he wrote.

According to him, powerful motorcycles that create a lot of noise on the capital’s streets are also disturbing citizens, while high speed and uncontrolled movement in public spaces are disrupting traffic and causing insecurity. He stressed that scooters, motorcycles and bicycles should not be allowed to move through the city square among pedestrians, because children, the elderly and all citizens are put at risk every day.

Bajqinovci added that squares are intended for pedestrians, not for races with scooters, motorcycles or bicycles.

He called for stricter checks, for violators to be punished and, when necessary, for the vehicles to be confiscated from those who break the law and endanger the lives of others. According to him, citizens’ safety must remain a priority.
