Blerim Ramadani’s Lawyer Koci Says Client’s in Kosovo

Lawyer Arianit Koci, who represents ex-KLA member Blerim Ramadani, who escaped house arrest in North Macedonia, told Kosovan media on Saturday that his client was in Kosovo.

As he explained, Ramadani’s family is demanding for him not be taken back to North Macedonia and urging authorities in Pristina not to do so. In Koci’s view, the trial should resume in Kosovo.

“Serbia treats KLA fighters as terrorists. In this case, Blerim is in Kosovo. Macedonia understands he is in Kosovo. Now, the authorities of North Macedonia, but also Serbia are looking for him. Kosovo is not extraditing its citizen. Kosovo can ask for all documents from Macedonia, analyse the case, start proceedings, and hold the trial. I am convinced that even if the trial is held in Kosovo, Blerim will be found not guilty,” he stated.
