Today, the Basic Court of Pristina requested the accompaniment by the police of the sisters Adelina, Zanfina and Ema Ismaili as witnesses in the next session where Enver Sekiraqa is being accused of inciting the murder of Triumf Riza.
This court decision spread rapidly in the media. While an explanation was expected from the involved persons, the singer Adelina Ismaili reacted immediately on Instagram.
In her statement, she states that this is not true and that for 15 years in a row they have cooperated with the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo to resolve the case.
"Dear friends and fans. No police are looking for me or my sisters. We are not criminals and we have no police cases. We are witnesses of a dramatic case that happened 15 years ago and we cooperated with all the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo to clarify the case. More than 10 years of testimony in trials, every time we have been asked to risk our lives by the criminal gangs that have threatened us non-stop and continue. Let's not talk about image damage and all the negative repercussions it has had in our professional lives. This case is repeated every 3 years now and no final decision is made.
In the letters addressed to the judge, we expressed very concretely that we stand behind our statements given to the EULEX prosecutor in 2016-2017, Mr. Carney, and we do not want to be called every time the defendant appeals. These are absolutely in accordance with the laws of the Republic of Kosovo and it is our right according to our lawyer.
We can appear in court to say the same words as written in our letters, but we are not interested in media show regarding this case. The show which belongs to the criminal structures in Kosovo or their servants who apparently want to close this case with an epilogue different from the court's decision. We thank the Kosovo Police for always showing correctness, and the honorable court. We really travel a lot, you have our testimonies on your desks," said Adelina.
