Sylejman Selimi was convicted for war crimes against the civilian population during 1998-1999.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to Mr. Haradinaj generous action, other state leaders have visited Sylejman Selimi after his release from prison and have described him as a hero of Albanian people. President of Kosovo, Hashim Tha\u00e7i, said that &#8220;With the living hero in freedom, General Sylejman Selimi, Kosovo is better and safer&#8221;.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such appointments and statements are extremely concerning and therefore unacceptable for us. Persons who committed war crimes should stay away from state institutions. The decision to appoint Mr. Selimi as a political adviser points to the lack of seriousness and lack of Government&#8217;s commitment to justice, reconciliation and peace.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YIHR &#8211; Kosovo and YIHR &#8211; Serbia as organizations working in dealing with the past and transitional justice call on all political leaders in Kosovo to stop any plan for involvement and glorification of war criminals in political and public arena. Instead, their main focus should be on recognizing and achieving justice for victims, survivors and missing persons from the war in Kosovo.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We, as young people from Kosovo and Serbia, will always be against glorification of war criminals in both states. And we are determined to continue opposing biased and nationalistic narratives and working to build peace <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">on the basis of respect for all victims.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"YIHR Kosovo and YIHR Serbia condemn and oppose the appointment of Sylejman Selimi as advisor to the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj: War criminals have no place in Government!","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7243,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[57],"tags":[950,406,951],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>War criminals have no place in Government!
