KURTI AGAIN DEMONIZES TRUTH? Resolution threatens penalties for all who speak of KLA crimes!
The Assembly in Pristina adopted a resolution titled 'On the Truth and Dignity of War Victims,' which, among other things, provides for the punishment of any downplaying or denial of crimes allegedly committed by the Serbian side. In practice, such a formulation means that anyone who publicly speaks about the crimes committed by the so-called KLA could face criminal prosecution, while Pristina's narrative is imposed as the only acceptable one.
