BUJANOVAC — An unknown assailant fired multiple shots at a police checkpoint in the ethnic Albanian village of Dobrosin near Bujanovac around 3:00 CET on Thursday.

“The attack on police, i.e. police checkpoint at 3:00 in the morning is a terrorist act,” Vranje Police Administration Spokesman Dragan Stamenković has said.

He stressed that he could not give any more information about the attack.

The village of Dobrosin is located around 16 kilometers southwest of Bujanovac.

The so-called Liberation Army of the Preševo, Bujanovac and Medveđa (OVPBM, UCPMB) was founded in Dobrosin in the beginning of January 2000.

More Ethnic Clashes Feared in Macedonia

Authorities are worried that Sunday’s clashes in the capital, Skopje, between ethnic Albanians and Macedonians may be repeated this weekend, as extremists on both sides use Facebook to summon supporters for a second round.

SkopjeThe violent scenes seen in the heart of Skopje have sparked a wave of hate-speech on Facebook, with ethnic Albanian and Macedonian hard-liners calling for renewed violence this Saturday.

Eight people were injured on Sunday when rival Macedonian and Albanian protesters scuffled over the controversial construction of a museum being erected on the foundations of a medieval church at the fortress in Skopje.

The fortress lies adjacent to the ethnic Albanian area of the city and many Albanians fear the new museum will be handed over to the Orthodox Church for active use.

“My Macedonian brothers, on Saturday we will have our revenge,” one Facebook group says, adding that it is time for “the final battle to eradicate the Shiptars”. “Shiptar” is a derogatory term for an Albanian.

Another Facebook profile, opened by Albanians opposed to the museum, says that “only a massacred Macedonian is a good caurin”. The word “caurin” is a derogatory for a member of the country’s Macedonian majority.

Police said they were taking action. Officers had been deployed around the site of the museum.

“We have officially informed Facebook of the existence of these profiles and groups who spread ethnic and religious intolerance and have asked for their closure,” police spokesman Ivo Kotevski told Balkan Insight.

Kotevski said that police will also pursue the owners of the IP addresses that host such insults and they have compiled lists of Facebook users who have answered calls to participate in future violent gatherings.

Roberto Belicanec, from the Skopje-based Media Development Center, an NGO, said the display of ethnic hatred on the internet was disappointing.

“While social networks are used in the Arab world to overthrow semi-dictatorships, in Macedonia they provide an outlet for hatred.” Belicanec urges the use of swift sanctions against those encouraging violence.

Macedonia suffered a short-lived armed conflict in 2001 between ethnic Albanian insurgents and the security forces. The country escaped all-out ethnic conflict after both sides signed a peace deal in Ohrid granting greater rights to Albanians, who make up about one-quarter of the population.

Tageszeitung “Fakti” beklagt drastische Zunahme der Gewaltkriminalität in den Albanergebieten Mazedoniens

Wo Albaner auftauchen, erkaufen sich Mafiöse Clan in die Politik ein und oft mit extrem gefährlichen Verbrechern u.a. der Deutschen SPD und FES, welche diese Zustände mit Geld fördern. Man gründet dann schnell mal einen Verein in Deutschland, um von den wahren Aktivitäten wie Schleusertum abzulenken.

Skopje, 1.7.2004, FAKTI, alban.

Tetova (Tetovo – MD) ist das europäische Epizentrum für Morde geworden, während Shkup (Skopje – MD) berüchtigt für Raubüberfälle und andere Formen der Gewaltkriminalität geworden ist. Ohne sich im Geringsten zu schämen, haben sich Menschen bei der Polizei mit Aussagen wie: “Drei Gangs, eine davon bestehend aus Kosovaren, operieren in Cair”. Mehr (? als die Aussagen aufzunehmen?) unternimmt die Polizei nicht.

Die Angriffe gehen weiter. Geschäftsleute werden am hellen Tag überfallen und in Angst und Schrecken versetzt, Augenzeugen geben an, in Jahja Pasha und anderen, von Albanern bewohnten Stadteilen von Shkup Menschen mit Pistolen, Kalaschnikows, Scoprpions und anderen Arten von Schusswaffen gesehen zu haben. Im albanischen Teil von Shkup häufen sich Szenen, die man nur in Wildwestfilmen erwartet und niemand unternimmt etwas, um das zu stoppen. In der Zwischenzeit setzt sich die Angst in den Herzen der Menschen fest.

Interessanterweise werden nur Albaner angegriffen, und die Angreifer sind ausschließlich Albaner, eine für die andere Seite sehr günstige Lage, denn sie freut sich, dass ihre Vorhersagen eintreffen.

Eight Injured in Clashes over ‘Church’ Construction in Macedonia

Rival Macedonian and Albanian protesters clashed on Sunday at Skopje’s fortress over the controversial construction of a museum in the form of a church, leaving several injured.

Sinisa Jakov Marusic

Skopje

Witnesses say that a fight broke out between ethnic Macedonians, who were supporting the building of the museum-church, and ethnic Albanians, who are opposed to the project, on Sunday afternoon.

Stones were thrown, and police said that eight people were injured in the incident, including two police officers. One person was seriously injured, and remains in hospital.

The situation in and around the Skopje fortress on Monday is calm, with a visible increase in police presence.

The plan to build a museum in the style of a medieval church at the fortress in Macedonia’s capital has ignited the country’s tense ethnic relations.

Nearly all ethnic Albanian political parties and organisations have labelled the project as a provocation from the ruling, conservative government of Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski. Some have called for the construction of a mosque at the same location.

Following the clashes, the opposition and ruling parties traded blame over the incident.

In a joint statement, the ruling coalition partners, the centre-right VMRO DPMNE and the junior ethnic Albanian party, the Democratic Union for Integration, DUI, condemned the incident and appealed for calm.

“These sensitive issues should be solved only with open political dialogue through institutions,” the statement reads. “We assure you that the nurturing of the cultural rights and heritage of all ethnic communities remains a priority for both parties,” it added.

Meanwhile, the opposition Social Democrats asked for the resignation of Police Minister Gordana Jankulovska and her deputy Xhevat Buci for failing to prevent the incident. The party also urged the government to sack Pasko Kuzman, the head of the agency for the protection of cultural heritage, which launched the controversial construction.

“If they fail to do this they will admit that they deliberately fuel ethnic tensions in order to divert attention from the economic drought and poverty, crime and corruption,” the Social Democrats spokesman Emilijan Stankovic told media late on Sunday.

The clashes on Sunday came after previously a group of people, led by high-ranking officials from the DUI, the biggest ethnic Albanian party in the country, forcibly entered the fortress and started demolishing the construction site late on Friday.

The action was condemned by Gruevski and his VMRO DPMNE party.

The museum was being constructed on the foundations of a recently excavated 14th-century Orthodox church in the old fortress that dominates the skyline of the capital.

The style and location of the building stirred suspicions among Albanians, who saw it as an attempt by the Christian Macedonian majority to gain a foothold in what the mainly Muslim Albanians see as their side of town.

The row over the museum recalled the heated discussions of 2009 and 2010 about whether the state should build an Orthodox church in the centre of Skopje, near the main square.

All ethnic Albanian parties and many Albanian NGOs conditioned support for the church with the parallel erection of a mosque at a nearby location.

The authorities eventually abandoned the idea to build a church but gave the site to the Orthodox Church, which has since remained silent about the possible start of construction.

Macedonia Court Scraps Lustration Verdicts

A court has cleared the names of 15 former and current public office-holders after the country’s Lustration Commission ruled they had been police informants.

The Administrative Court in Skopje accepted the appeals of the 15 and scrapped the decisions of the Lustration Commission.

The state office is tasked with carrying out the Lustration Law, which aims to purge former police informants from public office.

The court found that the commission’s decisions, enacted over a year ago, were made on the basis of old provisions of the Lustration Law that earlier this year were pronounced unconstitutional.

In March the Constitutional Court annulled 12 controversial provisions of the Lustration Law, significantly narrowing the law’s scope.

“In its decision-making, the court called upon the Constitutional Court decision that annulled 12 provisions of the Lustration law as conflicting with the constitution,” Isamedin Limani, the president of the Constitutional Court, told Balkan Insight.

The court has advised all 15 current or former office-holders to personally pick up the court’s ruling and has informed the Lustration Commission of its decision.

Some prominent names who were cleared include Vladimir Milcin, the head of the Macedonian Open Society Foundation, Slobodan Ugrinovski, head of a small opposition party, “Tito’s Left Forces”, as well as Supreme Court judges and several former state officials.

The Constitutional Court in March ruled that it was unconstitutional to oblige people from professions including clergy, journalists, NGO activists and others to swear that they had never collaborated with the secret police during the Communist period or afterwards.

It also shortened the time span of the law that was previously applicable until 2019.  The court ruled that that it may cover only the Communist period from 1945 to 1991 and not the period after the country gained independence from Yugoslavia and became a democratic society.

“This development [the latest decision] was expected after the Constitutional Curt scrapped key provisions of the law, because there is no longer a legal framework for the proceedings of the Lustration Commission,” Tome Adziev, head of the commission, said.

Adziev said that if parliament adopted a new draft Lustration Law that is already in procedure, they will look again at the 15 cases.

But some members of the commission oppose the planned new law, saying that the draft recently submitted to parliament by the ruling VMRO DPMNE party is flawed.

“The solicitor that wrote it [the new draft] is either an amateur or works against the interests of the country, because this would place Macedonia among those countries that massively violate human rights,” Cedomir Damjanovski warns.

Janakie Vitanovski, another member of the commission, agrees that the new law “will not be applicable because this is the third time that the same decisions are being proposed, although they have been deemed in conflict with the constitution”.

The law, aimed at purging former police informants from public office, was originally passed in 2008 on the behest of Nikola Gruevski’s government. But the process soon came under fire from critics who accused the ruling party of using the law to target its opponents.

Under the law people who found to have been former collaborators are to be stripped of office. The commission has so far pronounced over 30 people as former informants.

http://www.balkaninsight.com/en/article/macedonia-court-scraps-lustration-findings

The accusations of political influence are fueled by the fact that of the three officials known to be facing removal under the law all are political opponents of the governing party. One, Vladimir Milcin, a theater director and head of the Open Society Foundation in Macedonia, has appealed the lustration commission’s decision to expel him from his position as a university professor. The foundation is one of the largest financial supporters of civil society and anti-corruption organizations in the country.  http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/25/

Vladmir Milcin in action:

The new Law on Lustration – an instrument for dealing with opponents Foundation Open Society - Macedonia (FOSM) organized a round table on April 12, with a topic on the draft amendments to the Law on lustration and their impact in the process of verification of the facts. During the first part of the debate, Dance Danilovska presented the new amendments included in the draft law on lustration, and the most radical new amendment is the one extending the timeframe to September 1, 2006 instead of until 1991, i.e. from the moment the Law on access to public information comes into force. On the other hand, it was concluded that the amendments discriminate against those who would be deemed as associates, by announcing them publicly. Also, with the changes regarding the persons who are subject to the law on lustration, the state would directly interfere in the work of the NGO sector and limit the right to employment in the private sector. According to university professor Gordan Kalajdziev, with the law on lustration, the verification of facts becomes an inquisitorial procedure in which there is no plaintiff, and there is no proving procedure. The new amendments to the Law are contrary to the recommendations of the Council of Europe (CoE). Aside from the timeframe, which according to the Council of Europe should not be extended after 1989, the level of evidence is also a problem, because it should be much higher than the level of evidence in other criminal cases, and the lustration itself should only apply to those public servants that can directly threaten human rights (civil servants in the police, judiciary, etc.). Stojan Andov, one of the proposers of the Law, noted that the previous version was adopted by consensus by all parties, and said he expected the new version to be supported by consensus. Analyzing the amendments, Cedomir Damjanovski, member of the Commission for verification of facts, stressed that the Commission will have technical problems in finding whole family trees of those who have acquired more than five percent of the capital of a state enterprise because except them, their families are also covered by lustration. According to Damjanovski, the publication of the Commission’s decisions on a website may harm a person who is subject to lustration, because the decision - although not final, will be publicly announced. During the last part of the debate, a comparison was made of the work of the services before and after 1991, as well as their method of recruiting associates, and creating records of the associates. The conclusion was that a lot of room was left for abuses of records, many of which are found in private collections. It was also stated that associate relations have never been penalized anywhere, because it was difficult to prove the awareness and intention of the associate in violating someone’s human rights. On the other hand, the perpetrators from these services and persons who issued orders are not included by the law, i.e. those who knowingly violated the human rights and freedoms. Analyzing the new law, and the entire system, Gjuner Ismail stated that the system building laws such as the Law on lustration, should be approached differently, and not through an academic attempt for dialogue.

Thaci Laments EU’s ‘Coldness’ Towards Kosovo

 

Prime Minister says Brussels is not responding with much enthusiasm to Kosovo’s attempts to expedite its path of integration towards the EU.

Fatmir Aliu

 Pristina

 

Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, has complained about Brussels’ approach towards the country’s European Union aspirations, saying that Kosovo is not being judged by the same standards used with other countries in the region.

Speaking on Monday, Thaci said that EU delays and the non-recognition of the country by five EU member states - Spain, Romania, Greece, Slovakia and Cyprus - were not justifiable.

“The delays by Brussels are unjustifiable,” he said. “Kosovo is not asking for a privileged treatment or for an accelerated processes [of EU integration]. We simply ask for equal treatment to the rest of the Western Balkans countries,” Thaci said.

On March 27 the EU launched a study to determine whether Kosovo is ready to sign a Stabilization and Association Agreement, the first step on the long road to Brussels.

The study will make an inventory of where Kosovo stands in terms of its political, economic and legal environment, and will assess what Kosovo needs to achieve to negotiate and implement an SAA.

Thaci on Monday handed ministers a set of 450 questions from the EU for the Feasibility Study. He asked them to answer the questions by May 21, so they can be handed over to the European Commission by June 8.

Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008 and has been recognised by 89 countries, including the US and 22 EU member states.

Thaci said that since the country declared independence, Kosovo had worked hard to approach European structures but “unfortunately the response of Brussels was cold and the processes have been lengthy.

“The EU should not tolerate any black holes in the European continent. The principle of freedom of movement is an asset upon which the EU has been built, and we are not asking for anything other than the free movement of people, goods and ideas and equal treatment,” he said.

All Western Balkans countries, except Kosovo, have been granted visa-free travel to the EU. But when launching the EU-Kosovo visa-liberalization dialogue, Enlargement Commissioner Stephan Fuele said that the success of the process depended on Kosovo’s performance in the areas of trade, reform of public administration, rule of law, and the integrations of the Serbian minority in the north.

The European Commission will send  a team to Pristina on June 18 on a fact-finding mission to verify the answers it received from the questionnaire it handed to Kosovo.

A damning report alleging Kosovo’s Prime Minister was a mafia kingpin linked to organised crime and organ trafficking , has received the unanimous backing of The Council of Europe’s Legal Affairs Committee. Western nations are also accused in the document of knowing about the alleged activities of Hashim Thaci. But it’s only now that the EU-backed police force in Kosovo says it’s ready to look into the claims.

Macedonia on Alert Ahead of Albanian Protests

Police are bracing for trouble ahead of planned Albanian rallies against police arrests of suspects wanted in connnection to the recent killings in Skopje.

Macedonian police are on alert in the capital, Skopje, in Tetovo, Gostivar, Debar, Struga and other towns where ethnic Albanian activists, using Facebook and Twitter, have announced street protests after Friday’s midday prayers.

The rallies are directed against police arrests of so-called radical Islamists, wanted in connection to last month’s murders of five people near Skopje.

Macedonian President Gjorgje Ivanov said the protests would be allowed but “must be calm and without any use of violence”.

Police Minister Gordana Jankulovska earlier warned that “we will take all measures to protect legal order and the rule of law. If someone breaks the laws we will react and sanction them most severely”.

It is not clear who exactly stands behind the protests. All ethnic Albanian parties in the country have denied involvement.

“The organizers probably have some [Muslim] religious motives and in these sensitive moments they are using the religious sentiments of the people,” Skopje-based political analyst Gjuner Ismail said.

“Those with bad intentions are manipulating these feelings and if this proceeds I would not be surprised if it causes counter-protests from the other religious community [Macedonian Orthodox Christians],” he added.

Macedonians are already drumming up support on social networks for a protest in front of the government on Saturday “against terrorism” and in support for the police action.

On April 12 the bodies of Filip Slavkovski, Aleksandar Nakjevski, Cvetanco Acevski and Kire Trickovski, all aged between 18 and 20, were discovered on April 12 near Zelezarsko Ezero on the northern outskirts of the capital, a popular fishing destination.  The body of 45-year-old Borce Stevkovski was a short distance away from the rest.

The murder sharply raised ethnic tensions between Macedonians and country’s largest Albanian minority, as rumours spread that the killers were Albanian.

Police on May 1 arrested 20 ethnic Albanians in an operation in several villages around the capital in relation to the murders. The police filed terrorism and murder charges against five people, three of whom have been arrested.

On May 4 over a thousand ethnic Albanians took to the streets after the midday prayer in Skopje, accusing the authorities of setting up innocent Albanians and unjustly portraying them as terrorists.

Some protestors wore shirts saying “Islam Victorious” and “Islam will dominate the world”.  Minor clashes with the police were reported but no one was injured.

Media freedom: Kosovo president rejects code that criminalises libel

Kosovo president rejects code that criminalises libel

09/05/2012

Two controversial articles of the Kosovo penal code that threatened media freedom created significant domestic and international opposition.

After a sustained protest from journalists and media watchdogs, Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga on Tuesday (May 8th) rejected a proposed law that would have criminalised libel and allowed journalists to be jailed if they didn’t reveal their sources.

In a statement, Jahjaga called the proposals contrary to Kosovo’s Constitution. She sent the proposed penal code back to parliament for review and changes.

Journalists welcomed the decision.

“The parliament of Kosovo has always had one point in mind: legal regulations should support the work of journalists,” Oliver Vujovic, secretary general of the Vienna-based South East Europe Media Organisation, told SETimes.

“Journalists are a strong power for the democratic development of Kosovo, and politicians in parliament should understand it. This draft was a small mistake by the parliamentarians, and mistakes are part of the work, and I believe that the parliament of Kosovo will now work on a better document.”

Arben Ahmeti, head of the Association of Professional Journalists of Kosovo (APJK), commended journalists and international organisations for resisting the proposed law. “APJK assesses that with such a decision, press freedom in Kosovo is saved, which was seriously jeopardised by the content of actual code,” he told SETimes.

Violations under the proposed code were punishable by a prison sentence of at least three years. That provision, and the requirement that journalists reveal their sources, was strongly criticised by local journalists, civil agencies, the Association of Professional Journalists of Kosovo, as well as SEEMO and the international media watchdog Reporters Without Borders.

The government proposed the laws despite warnings by journalists and media watchdogs that it would significantly erode the already precarious media freedom in Kosovo.

Kosovo journalists boycotted news of state institutions on May 3rd, World Press Freedom Day. Daily newspapers published “Stop Playing” on their front pages in a traffic-like sign and did not cover the institutions’ activities nor broadcast them.

“If this law were effective two months ago, I would be obliged to reveal the source of my story, something that would be against the principles of a free press,” freelance journalist Kastriot Jahaj told SETimes.

An official sued him for defamation after he exposed the official’s corrupt practices, but a Pristina court found Jahaj not guilty.

In an attempt to prevent the revised law from taking effect, media representatives met with Jahjaga and asked her not to sign it nor return it to parliament.

Justice Minister Hajredin Kuqi sent a letter of support to the media calling on Jahjaga to send the law back to parliament and promised to lobby there to reject the two controversial articles. Kuqi promised to resign if the law had gone into effect, even though his ministry sponsored the proposal in parliament.

Ahmeti says he was not convinced that Kuqi can deliver the draft law without the articles directed against journalists.

“The journalist community will itself continue the fight against attempts to limit press freedom,” he said.

 Haradinaj temporarily released, arrives in Kosovo

Ramus Haradinaj, a former commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), who is standing trial for war crimes before The Hague Tribunal, arrived in Kosovo on Thursday, after being granted provisional release.

Ramus Haradinaj, a former commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), who is standing trial for war crimes before The Hague Tribunal, arrived in Kosovo on Thursday, after being granted provisional release.

EULEX spokeswoman Irina Gudeljevic told Tanjug that, at the request of The Hague Tribunal, EULEX would assist the court in monitoring Haradinaj’s temporary release.

Among the tasks that EULEX police will carry out are escort of Haradinaj from and to Pristina airport, meetings once a week
and seizure of Haradinaj’s passport, she explained.

Gudeljevic added that EULEX is completely ready to perform its task and support the work of The Hague Tribunal.
Considering the motion filed by Haradinaj’s defence team, the Trial Chamber has decided to grant provisional release to Haradinaj during the court recess, RTK reported on Wednesday evening.

Haradinaj, who is today the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, and two more former members of KLA - Idriz Baljaj and Ljahij Brahimi - are accused of crimes against humanity and violation of laws and customs of war in Kosovo in 1998. The closing arguments are scheduled for June 25 and 26.

Back in 2008, the court acquitted Haradinaj and Baljaj of all charges, and Brahimaj was sentenced to six years in prison.
Prosecutors filed an appeal against the ruling, after which the Appeals Chamber quashed the acquittals and ordered a partial re-trial of the case on six out of 37 counts, claiming that the trial had been marred by witness intimidation leading to witnesses refusing to testify. This is the first re-trial in the history of The Hague Tribunal.

Gjykata e Strasburgut: Sillni dosjet e korrupsionit te ne

7 Maj 2012 | : Aktualitet,Kryesoret | Autor: Fatjona Mejdini

“Në të gjitha vendet e Lindjes ku janë ndërtuar ligje dhe Kushtetuta të standardeve europiane, ato konsiderohen si tekste ligjore, që nuk përputhen me mentalitetet e vjetra. Kjo mospërputhje prodhon korrupsion”

Nënkryetari Medrano evidentoi problemet në drejtësinë shqiptare

 Medrano deklaroi se ishte e udhës që shqiptarët të mos shkonin në Strasburg vetëm për çështje pronësie

Fatjona Mejdini - Drejtues të lartë të Gjykatës Europiane të të Drejtave të Njeriut në Strasburg gjetën rastin t’i ftonin qytetarët shqiptarë që t’i drejtoheshin kësaj gjykate dhe sa i përket çështjeve të korrupsionit. I gjendur në Tiranë për një konferencë të gjyqësorit, nënkryetari i Gjykatës së Strasburgut, Josep Casadevall Medrano, në një intervistë për “Top Channel” deklaroi se ishte e udhës që shqiptarët të mos shkonin në Strasburg vetëm për çështje pronësie, por duhet të përdornin të drejtën e tyre për të ngritur dhe çështje të korrupsionit, duke qenë se vendi ka ende probleme sa i përket kësaj fushe. Sipas tij, edhe çështjet e politikanëve shqiptarë të akuzuar për korrupsion fare mirë mund të ankimoheshin në Gjykatën Europiane të të Drejtave të Njeriut. Por gjithsesi, ai thekson se është e udhës që vetë Shqipëria t’i zgjidhë me prioritet këto çështje, nisur nga fakti se ajo tashmë pretendon të jetë një vend kandidat i Bashkimit Europian. “Cilido që ka vështirësi, mund ta sjellë çështjen në Strasburg. Por Shqipëria u bë anëtare e Këshillit të Europës dhe për këtë ajo përmbushi disa standarde. Shqipëria synon të jetë kandidate për në BE dhe për këtë, duhet të përmbushë disa standarde të tjera”, deklaroi numri dy i gjykatës, duke theksuar se dera në Strasburg për çështjet shqiptare të korrupsionit ishte e hapur. Nga ana tjetër, Josep Casadevall Medrano theksoi se korrupsioni në vende si Shqipëria stimulohet nga fakti se ligjet e reja të përshtatura me standardet e BE-së janë të vështira për t’u zbatuar nga mentaliteti i vjetër në sistemin e drejtësisë. Në këto kushte ai tha se vetëm vullneti politik mund ta zgjidhë situatën. “Dua të them se çështjet e korrupsionit nuk i gjejmë vetëm në Shqipëri, i gjejmë në çdo vend me demokraci të re. Zgjidhja vjen vetëm nga një vullnet politik. Ajo që konstatoj është se në të gjitha vendet e Lindjes ku janë ndërtuar ligje dhe Kushtetuta të standardeve europiane, konsiderohen si tekste ligjore që nuk përputhen me mentalitet e vjetra të këtyre vendeve. Kjo mospërputhje prodhon edhe korrupsionin”, theksoi nënkryetari i Gjykatës prestigjioze të Strasburgut. Gjykata Europiane e të Drejtave të Njeriut është një institucion ndërkombëtar, që në përputhje me disa kushte të caktuara mund të pranojë kërkesat e personave, të cilët ankohen për shkelje të të drejtave të garantuara nga Konventa Europiane e të Drejtave të Njeriut. Kjo Konventë është një marrëveshje, nëpërmjet së cilës shumë shtete të Europës janë angazhuar të respektojnë disa të drejta themelore të individëve. Këto të drejta janë formuluar në vetë Konventën, si dhe në disa protokolle, të cilat një pjesë e shteteve i kanë nënshkruar. Kjo gjykatë mund të trajtojë vetëm ankesat në lidhje me shkeljen e të drejtave të formuluara në Konventë dhe në protokolle, duke përjashtuar të gjitha shkeljet e tjera. Në këtë gjykatë qytetarët mund të ankohen vetëm për aktet e një autoriteti publik si Parlamenti, administrata, gjykatat etj. Gjykata Europiane e të Drejtave të Njeriut nuk mund të merret me ankesat drejtuar personave të veçantë, ose institucioneve private.

Kërkesat

Pronat

Çështjet e pronave dominojnë kërkesat e shqiptarëve drejtuar Strasburgut. Ish-pronarët janë shtresa që prej vitesh kërkojnë drejtësi në këtë gjykatë

600 dosje

Aktualisht kjo gjykatë ka pranuar të gjykojë 600 dosje kërkesash nga Shqipëria. Procedimi me këto dosje mund të kërkojë disa vite, nisur nga fakti se procedurat e gjykatës zgjasin në kohë

They were detained after they in front of a polling station offered voters RSD 2,500 to vote for a certain electoral list.

The electoral board members told B92 that the voting would continue since the incidents happened outside the polling station and that the election process was not jeopardized.

“Police intervened in another polling station in Novi Sad where an electoral board member smashed a ballot box,” City Electoral Commission (GIK) President Predrag Zagorčić told reporters.

He added that the incident occurred in the Novi Sad’s neighborhood of Vidovdansko naselje and that the voting continued soon after.

Opening of seven polling stations in Novi Sad was delayed for about an hour due to technical problems, GIK told Beta news agency.

Umberto Bossi and the Albanian Mafia Universitaet: “Kristal” and false “Universitaet New York” in Tirana

Albanian University Quizzed Over Bossi Diploma

Questions are growing over the diploma that the son of the Italy’s right-wing Northern League leader, Umberto Bossi, received from an Albanian university.

Renzo Bossi, a.k.a ‘the trout’

Doubts have emerged over the business management degree obtained by Renzo Bossi from Tirana’s Kristal University.

The issue of the questionable diploma has emerged as Italian prosecutors investigate his politician father for alleged abuse of party funds.

According to the Italian daily La Repubblica, Renzo’s degree was found in the safe of the treasurer of the Northern League, Francesco Belsito, in a folder named “the family.”

Umerto Bossi, founder of Northern League, resigned as party leader last month after a corruption scandal hit the party.

Based in the wealthy north, the Northern League is known for its hostility to southerners and foreign immigrants. Albanians living in Italy have been frequent targets.

But antipathy towards Albanian immigrants seems to have not stopped Bossi’s son from seeking a degree in Albania.

According to the Italian media, Renzo took his degree from Kristal University on September 29, 2010, passing 29 exams.

Doubts have been raised about how he managed to be admitted to the college and finish his three-year-degree, having only obtained his Italian high school diploma a year earlier.

Renzo Bossi had earlier failed his high school final exam in Italy several times, leading his father to complain that he was being discriminated against for his political ideas.

There is also no record that Renzo ever attended Kristal University.

In a statement to the media on Thursday the college denied that the diploma was a fake and said Bossi’s admission had met the requirements of Albanian law.

“Renzo Bossi was admitted on the basis of the documents that he presented during the academic year 2007-2008, in accordance with Albanian legislation,” the university said.

In Albania, Can a U.S. Diploma Deliver?

By D.D. GUTTENPLAN

TIRANA, ALBANIA — Rising above the dingy back streets of the Albanian capital, the silhouette, instantly recognizable, shines out like a promise: the Statue of Liberty, symbol of America, land of opportunity — and also the logo of the University of New York, Tirana (U.N.Y.T.), where students pay more than $32,500 for what a sign in the lobby describes as “the only real European and American education” in the country.

On its elaborate Web site, U.N.Y.T. paints a glowing picture of students enjoying a typical American university experience — complete with student union, college sports, and campus social life — without having to ever leave Albania. Although known locally as “New York University-Tirana” — the name listed on its official charter from the Albanian government — the school has no connection with the campus in Greenwich Village. Nor does it have a dining hall, dormitories, gym, or stadium — the Web page covering sports has been “under construction” for more than a year. The photograph of a library, featured on the cover of the school’s handsomely printed brochure, was in fact taken elsewhere, school officials concede.

But the classes are in English. And thanks to an arrangement with the State University of New York this private Albanian institution does offer its 650 students the chance to acquire an American diploma. By paying the for-profit U.N.Y.T. an extra $100 per credit, for the first three years plus an additional $5,000 for the final year, students can graduate with a degree from Empire State College, a division of SUNY based in Saratoga Springs devoted to adult education and nontraditional learning.

Known by various labels — “validated” or “franchised” degrees, “supported programs,” or branch campuses — such arrangements between universities in the United States, Britain or Australia and various private providers in the developing world have become increasingly common.

While students in Tirana seem satisfied, critics say that with a revenue structure based on tuition fees, and an admissions process subject to the need to recruit paying customers, all too frequently these arrangements deliver the form, but not the substance, of an academic education.

Armand Kapllani, a 2007 Empire State/U.N.Y.T. graduate now studying at Southern Methodist University in Dallas said that many of his courses were pitched at the level of an American high school. “We didn’t even learn how to use a financial calculator. You are graduating with a degree in finance and you don’t know how to use the calculator,” he said.

But Gavin Lowder, director of international programs at SUNY Empire State, says U.N.Y.T. is held to “the same academic guidelines as the rest of the college. There are no separate standards for our Tirana program.”

Konstantine Giakoumis, U.N.Y.T.’s deputy rector, said in an interview that “the curriculum is jointly drafted and approved by committees of both universities.”

On a recent visit to the Albanian campus, SUNY’s influence seemed more like a label than an active presence. The overwhelming majority of courses are taught by local faculty members hired without any input from SUNY, who also have little say over the content. Of 15 Empire State courses offered in the autumn 2011 catalogue, only three appear to be taught by instructors with doctorates. “Our teachers are not SUNY faculty. Not directly,” said Mr. Giakoumis. Empire State College, he added “does not have centrally managed exams.” Instead exams are set and marked by the faculty in Tirana.

Faculty members teaching SUNY courses “are expected to be approved by the program director,” Mr. Lowder said in an e-mail. “As part of the approval process, résumés are reviewed and approved. Where possible, faculty are interviewed prior to the semester,” he said. But he admitted that faculty teaching U.N.Y.T. courses “are not subject to Empire State review or approval.” For example, Mr. Giakoumis holds a bachelor’s degree from Athens University and a doctorate from the Center for Byzantine, Ottoman and Modern Greek Studies at the University of Birmingham, yet teaches both U.S. History and Diplomatic History.

Asked about the claim that the school offers an “American education,” school officials said that “the description is echoing the university’s concerned and concentrated efforts to adopt the best models from well-established American universities.

Mr. Kapllani said a group of three to four faculty members from SUNY visited the campus “once — or maybe twice — a year.”

According to Mr. Lowder, a team from Empire State last visited Tirana in October; the second visit this year is scheduled for the end of February. “Because of budget constraints, the program director does not make visits outside of the team visits unless absolutely necessary,” he said.

To students, what matters is the credential the prestige of an American degree. And on that score Mr. Kapllani had no complaints. “I had a wonderful time there when I was a student. A degree from U.N.Y.T. is quite respectable and it opens many doors in Albania,” he said.

Anisa Vrenozi, currently a junior, said “My studying experience in this university has been an excellent one, and I think I have made the best choice choosing this university.”

But Philip Altbach, director of the Center for International Higher Education at Boston College, says student satisfaction may not be the right measure. The demand for American or British credentials is so high, regulation so lax, and the opportunity for profit so tempting that when universities “balance their educational missions against their business interests” education often loses, he said. American universities, he said, had “a special responsibility to make sure we live up to our own standards” in any overseas venture.

On paper, the 13-page Memorandum of Understanding between SUNY and the University of New York, Tirana, supplied on request to a reporter, appears to spell out high standards. Although students can take as many as 96 credits, or about three years’ worth of courses, from U.N.Y.T. and need only 32 SUNY credits to graduate, all students “must fulfill the specific requirements set forth in the E.S.C. guidelines for the degree and the specific major.”

These include SUNY’s general education requirements and all pre-requisite courses for a student’s chosen major. Albanian faculty members teaching E.S.C. courses appointments are subject to joint approval by both institutions. Student progress is also monitored by both institutions, and Empire State’s Academic Program Director is “authorized to review grade distribution in all courses and for all faculty.”

On the ground in Tirana the picture is less reassuring. Although the memorandum describes both schools as “partners,” the precise nature of the relationship between SUNY and U.N.Y.T. is difficult to pin down. U.N.Y.T. is itself part of the New York College Group — logo: the Statue of Liberty in blue silhouette over the initials NYC — a Greek company with outposts in Athens and Thessaloniki and other branches in Prague and Belgrade.

William Lawton, director of the Observatory on Borderless Higher Education, a London-based research institution that monitors academic exchange, said “there are different levels of control, from validation and franchising up to branch campus. Basically in franchising the home institution provides the curriculum; in validation they don’t.”

……..

But in the past year “validation” has become a badge of dishonor in British academic circles because of a series of scandals at the University of Wales, which was shown by the BBC to have validated bogus degrees at Fazley International College, a university named after its founder, a Malaysian pop star, and to have allowed students at Rayat London College, a private school offering University of Wales M.B.A. courses, to pay for qualifications. The damage to its reputation was so great that the university, founded in 1893, closed its doors in October.

According to Judith Eaton of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation in Washington, U.S. universities “do not have the legal authority to accredit or otherwise sanction (‘validate’) the awarding of a degree by another institution.” Any joint arrangements “would come within the purview of accrediting organizations” that review the home campus, she said.

Empire State College, like the rest of SUNY, is accredited by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, based in Philadelphia. Richard Pokrass, a spokesman for the organization, said in an e-mail, “SUNY/Empire State College is accredited by our Commission, but University of New York, Tirana, is not. UNY-Tirana is approved by our Commission as an ‘other instructional site‘ for SUNY/Empire State College.”

Asked whether the accreditors had ever seen his campus, Mr. Giakoumis said “I believe inspectors travelled to Greece and Prague, but not to Tirana.” Mr. Pokrass later confirmed that “‘Other instructional sites’ are typically not visited.”

On a brief visit at the end of January, a reporter watched Keler Gjika listlessly take a class on Advanced Finance through practice questions from Damodaran online, a popular Web site maintained by Aswath Damodaran, a professor at the Stern School of Business at New York University.

As students stared inertly at the projected screen images, the exercise seemed a long way from an American classroom — and also in striking contrast to the atmosphere at the European University of Tirana, another private college on the other side of the city. All the classes there were in Albanian, but the lively discussion in classrooms and cafeteria, and the well-stocked — and busy — library suggested an institution where curiosity was as important as credentials.

Despite its offering only an Albanian degree, the rector, Tonin Gjuraj, said the school had no trouble filling its 2,500 places. “Albania was a poor countsaid Mrry. An isolated country. People are eager to get ahead,” . Gjuraj, a former Albanian ambassador to Israel.(Albanian Diplomat Mafia) Darjel Sina, who teaches law, described the school’s tuition of $3,300 a year — or $7,900 for a three-year course for those who pay in cash — as “not cheap. But it’s not expensive.” For popular fields like medicine, law or finance, the competition at Albania’s public universities, where tuition is $200 to $530 a year, is intense. The large number who fail to secure a place guarantees a demand for private providers.

Kevin Kinser, an expert on cross-border education at SUNY Albany (which is not connected to E.S.C.), said the U.N.Y.T. connection with Empire State College “is a way of developing legitimacy — a branding issue. The conflict comes into it when the public institution asks, why should we devote any attention to serving individuals outside our constituents? What we’ve found in our research is that if it’s out of state, it’s out of mind.”

Although both Mitch Leventhal, SUNY’s vice chancellor for global affairs, and Gavin Lowder, the director of Empire State College’s international programs, declined to be interviewed, Mr. Lowder did answer questions by e-mail. “This program is not funded by taxpayer dollars,” Mr. Lowder said. “It is a self-funded program. In addition, the program provides opportunities for Empire State College faculty to have international experience, which enhances teaching and learning.’‘ He insisted that faculty “are hired only in consultation with E.S.C.” and that the curriculum “is in accordance with college guidelines.”

It is also profitable. For every four-credit Empire State course offered at U.N.Y.T. collects $1,200 — the price is fixed in dollars — of which it keeps $384. The balance is passed along to SUNY, along with 68 percent of portfolio fees ($315), orientation ($50), telecommunication ($100 per term) and an assessment fee for transfer credits of as much as $1500. This year, U.N.Y.T. enrolled 111 students in Empire State courses; there are similar arrangements for New York College’s campuses in Greece and the Czech Republic.

With no investment needed for buildings or teaching staff, and the promise of regular returns, such arrangements are increasingly popular with cash-strapped Western universities. In Albania, a country still emerging from long years of isolation under the Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha, U.N.Y.T.’s promise of “a guarantee for your future” will always find plenty of takers. But as Mr. Lawton, of the Observatory on Borderless Higher Education, warns, “the financial risk is inverse to the risk to reputation.”

“SUNY is at the leading edge of commercialization, but in these days of financial pressure others will be close behind,” said Philip Altbach. By relying on self-assessment, he warns, “American accreditors are leaving the fox to regulate the chicken coop.”

Kosovo:Was kriminelle Politiker rund um Steinmeier vertuschten: Soldaten verlieren Vertrauen

7.5.2012 by ctstmaser.

Alles vor Jahren auch Bundeswehr Generaelen, MAD, BND bekannt, aber es wurde vertuscht, vor allem rund um die Steinmeier, die FES, Martin Schulz und Gruenen Bande, welche als Bestechungs Lobbyisten Weltweit unterwegs waren auch in U-Boot Geschaeften.

Man kann Politik auch etwas mit Gehirn gestalten, wie nun unter Niebel und Westerwelle, wo heute die Deutsche Botschafterin in Tirana, als nobel gilt - im Gegensatz zu Alexander Arvizu, dem US Botschafter.

Man war ja wegen Geschaeften rund um die Privatisierung, Energie, Telekom Bestechungs Geschaeften im Kosovo und deshalb arbeitete mit kriminellen Clans zusammen. Bestechen ist halt einfacher, siehe Siemens, Telekom, VW, Mercedes, Ferrostahl und Co.

Alle Institutionen inkusive der NATO Staebe der KFOR sind von der Kosovo Mafia unterwandert, denn man hat so seine privaten Service Lady s, welche als Dolmetscherinnen bezahlt werden. siehe 124 Seiten IEP Militaer Studie Kosovo 2007, BND und NATO Berichte rund um Havit Halili, Hashim Thaci und Co..

Soldaten verlieren Vertrauen

Der verteidigungspolitische Sprecher der SPD-Bundestagfraktion, Rainer Arnold, warnte deshalb gegenüber dieser Zeitung: „Das Allerschlimmste ist, dass die Soldaten das Vertrauen in die militärischen und politischen Vorgaben verlieren. Die glauben nicht mehr, dass stimmt, was man ihnen sagt. Und damit geht sehr, sehr viel kaputt.“ Die Bundeswehr müsse auf Einzelfälle Rücksicht nehmen, so Arnold. Auch dürfe „kein Gruppendruck erzeugt werden nach dem Motto: Wir dürfen doch unsere Kameraden nicht im Stich lassen; darum gehen wir noch mal mit.“ Im besten Fall werde die zur Verfügung stehende Eingreiftruppe insgesamt vergrößert, sodass man aus einem größeren Reservoir schöpfen könne. Den SPD-Politiker treibt nach eigener Aussage die generelle Sorge um, „dass man das Prinzip vier Monate Einsatz, 24 Monate Pause achtlos aufweicht. Das ist ein schleichender Prozess.“
