PDK Deputy Condemns Calls for Hashim Thaçi’s Imprisonment
Kosovar Parliament proceedings were marked by a strong reaction following statements made by Vetëvendosje MP Fatos Geci. Geci proposed the permanent imprisonment of former President Hashim Thaçi during a debate within the parliament. PDK deputy Vlora Çitaku delivered a sharply critical response, asserting that Geci’s remarks were unacceptable and unwarranted.
Çitaku questioned whether Geci deserved to hold the position of deputy, expressing deep concern over the language utilized during the parliamentary discussion. “I’ve known since I started speaking that a deputy doesn’t deserve it,” Çitaku stated. “I never believed that from the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo would come a request in the form of a wish for imprisonment for those who have fought for the freedom of this country.”
Çitaku’s comments followed Geci’s assertion that Thaçi would face the same sentencing as Naim Murseli, advocating for a life imprisonment verdict.
The exchange highlights ongoing tensions within the parliament regarding the legacy of the Kosovo Liberation Army and the prosecution of former political figures. The incident underscores the importance of measured discourse within the legislative body.
