KLA War Veterans Organisation ( OVL- The KLA has reacted to labels by various public figures, in which Elmi Recicica, Sami Lushtaku, Ramush Haradinaj and Hysni Gucati have been named as crime and corruption cases, while calling for their elimination from the political scene.

In published response, O VL- The KLA has singled out such a language as unacceptable, stressing that labels and calls for elimination cannot be considered free thought.

The organisation has estimated that justice and social peace cannot be built through hate speech, threats and public lynching.

That’s why, O VL- The KLA has called on the State Prosecutor and competent bodies to seriously address the declaration, assess its content and circumstances, and take necessary legal actions.

Political differences cannot justify the language of elimination, threats or inciting violence against anyone, it is said in response.

In the end, O The VL-KLA has stressed that freedom of expression does not mean freedom to threaten and that the public word should be accompanied by public and legal responsibilities.
