A fierce verbal clash was recorded between the deputies of the opposition and the government in the assembly of Kosovo. PDK and LDK asked for clarifications about the fire at the Institute of Forensic Medicine.
The Minister of Justice responded by saying that the remains of the national heroes, Adem Jashari and Isa Boletini, were not touched.
" Is it true that the remains of the body of our national hero Isa Boletini have been burned. Is it true that the mustache of the legendary commander, Adem Jashari, has been burned. What reports and what expertise about suspicious murders have disappeared from this burning. And on the other hand, we have never seen a clear report on what happened with the samples from the Dehari case. So from now on we have seen a silence, an absolute calm from the Vetëvendosje Movement, never dealing with the issue of the Dehari case. So you have waited for three years while you were in power to address such an issue. And today when we are speaking as the PDK Parliamentary Group, we will propose to the Assembly of Kosovo an investigative commission, which will investigate the damage caused by this recent fire in IML. "
ABELARD TAHIRI, MP of PDK
" This is the second time that this institute has been burned, and also if we take it and see the positions of the Minister of Justice, this situation takes on criminal proportions. So the Minister of Justice publicly declares that there is no damage to the archive, there is no damage to the mortuary samples that are kept in this Institute, and meanwhile in the media it is reported and it turns out that there is no damage to the archive, not only that there is damage to the samples, but there is damage the mortal remains of the legendary commander Adem Jashari, there is damage to the samples of the other commander Isa Boletini, not to mention the cases of other citizens, which may also have intentional content for the disappearance of criminal cases. "
ARBEN GASHI, DEPUT OF LDK
" As for Isa Boletini's mustache and finger, as mentioned in the media, they were not the property of the Institute of Forensic Medicine. Because the Institute of Forensic Medicine has no right to keep such things. As we were told in 2000, the families and Jashari gave it to one of the forensic experts. So, the families gave them to him and the person kept them in the office, if I knew, I think the state would have to keep them. I did not have information that was in the office of one of the forensic experts. "
