Daut Haradinaj from the Alliance has reacted to statements by lawyer Adelina Hoxha, who after the assassination of Arlinda Zekinaj had cited the use of the last name Haradinaj by the person who allegedly threatened the victim.

Speaking on Dabbat Plus on TV Duagjini, Haradinaj has asked the lawyer to clarify what actions she had taken to denounce the threats if there was information about the suspect’s alleged links to persons bearing that surname.

He has questioned why these claims were not presented before the relevant organs earlier, with the aim of preventing crime.

Yeah, I asked the lawyer a question. Did he remember after he massacred his wife, that he is related to Haradinaj? What action did he take? That you’re responsible for saying that. You let a man go to death. What actions have you taken to prevent, why haven’t you gone to punish cases? Why didn’t you sue them earlier when you knew?

He has said that the families Zekiaj and Sylaj recognize and respect them, adding that no one should hide behind a last name to avoid responsibility for their deeds.

Both families are my friends. The Zakaj family is one of the most respected families in the Dukagjin region, like the Sylaj family. And no one has the right to hide, much more when one case has happened, to hide behind the last name. That era that you hide behind a last name is over. I’m a public person, I have contacts with thousands of people, not just in Pec. Anyone who dares to hide behind that name will be punished. Justice must speak its word. Here I’m making a public appeal: denouncing cases, he said.

Haradinaj has estimated that the mention of the last name Haradinaj following the assassination of Arlinda Zekaj has served to shift attention from the importance of the crime.

All this was done to balance crime, that crime was a monster. That this, with a statement, tried to parallel, Haradinaj said.
