Tahiri congratulated Blakaj and Kurteshi on HLC’s commitment in implementing transitional justice mechanisms in order to deal with the past and guarantee respect for human rights.

He emphasized that transitional justice is an important field that helps transition societies to overcome the past filled with conflict and human rights violations, and constitutes one of the most important instruments of the democratization process, which in certain cases encourages conciliation and stability in post-conflict countries.

On the other hand, the Director of HLC Kosovo, Bekim Blakaj, and the Coordinator of the said project, Anka Kurteshi, thanked Minister Tahiri for the reception and requested that the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kosovo supports and promotes the recommendations derived from the 2016 Annual Report of HLC Kosovo project “As time passes, justice for war crimes fades”.

Minister Tahiri pointed out that the Ministry of Justice welcomes the close cooperation with HLC Kosovo.
