Prishtinë, 19 September 2007 – The court hearing against Albin Kurti has been interrupted by the International Judge Maurizio Salustro when Mr. Kurti was prepared to give his statement. The statement was supposed to be read by Mr. Kurti in Albanian language, while the court interpreter has been provided with a copy in English language.

The judge abruptly interrupted the session and grabbed the text from interpreter’s hands. The session then restarted only to announce that that day’s session has ended. 

Below, you will find a copy of this “forbidden statement”.
