Thaçi: I have in my hands the detailed report on the deportation of Gulenists

Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi spoke during a media conference about the arrest of six Turkish citizens from Kosovo, otherwise known as Gulenists.

He said that so far they have received a detailed report, which contains only one reason related to the cancellation of the residence permit, reports Indeksonline.

So, according to the KIA report, this does not endanger security in Kosovo.

According to Thaçi, after the final investigation into this case is conducted, if any legal violations are found, then the responsible persons must be held accountable for this matter.

President Thaçi's speech:

Kosovo is a developed democratic state with the highest democratic standards that respect the individual rights of every person regardless of ethnicity or political or ideological beliefs,

As the President of Kosovo, I am disappointed because the relevant institutions, for reasons that remain to be further clarified, have not yet clarified these principles regarding the Turkish citizens of our country. I am informed about the case and circumstances in which the deportation of six Turkish citizens was carried out.

So far, I have received a detailed report that was also heard by the Prime Minister, the Speaker of Parliament and other leaders, from the KIA, which explains in detail the reason and procedure that was used to cancel the residence permit, respectively the request, which is related to their illegal actions in Kosovo, so the only reason is the risk of security in Kosovo.

There has been a penetration of foreign citizens in the past while respecting the procedures in force, the procedures must be clarified by the KIA and the MIA and if there have been legal violations then those responsible must be held accountable. I am aware that state bodies are investigating this case and are awaiting their conclusion.

The Ombudsman has also begun independent investigations, so we must be careful how we behave with the bodies responsible for security in our country.Indeksonline/
