The complainant, Firuze Kosova: My husband was arrested on November 24, 2022. Qamurane Kosova accuses him of stalking her, as if he stalks her. By the time the police came, we had come here, we were drinking kaffir, we had just come from work. Aguri, the almighty, picks him up on the phone and says "where are you Gëzim?". "At home," he tells her. The car had come down here in the meantime, that lady had informed him. He said "where were you half an hour ago?". "I was picking olives with my wife," he told her. "Okay, come on down," he said. Then, when he sat down, he said, "Gëzim, Qamuranja informed the police "that you harassed her in the health center". "No, there's no way, I wasn't with my wife," he told her. His hands were muddy when they took him. Meanwhile, this lady comes out of the house and the car was there and she said "I'm afraid of him, they're going to jail because I'm afraid he'll kill me with a gun."

The whistleblower, Firuze Kosova: At a time when these people never stay together.

Journalist: There is also the testimony of the village headman who affirmed such a thing. Have you contacted the chief?

Complainant: Yes, I contacted and he told me "that I signed them, but I did not read them".

Journalist: Why did you accept the summary judgment for the husband?

Complainant: Yes, I accepted it because I am very sorry. I can't stand it when I see him behind bars. He is sick, he begs me day after day, "Help me, get me out of here", he tells me. He is 63 years old. It's not his fault, he didn't do anything. Why did she go "that he sings love songs to me?", what is this? I have a separate house and I have a separate border, why do I "sing, not sing" with him. I'm in my house, the TV is singing, it's singing because of longing for the children to be in Greece. I live alone with my husband.

Journalist: What service did you offer to the one who harassed you?

Journalist: He chased you...

Qamurane Kosova: Go now, please... I have nothing...

Journalist: No, we will explain some things to us because the man of the world is in prison.

Qamurane Kosova: Let him be in prison, the court knows that, not me.

Journalist: Do you work alone at the center?

Journalist: How often do you meet the doctor?

Qamurane Kosova: When we have chronic patients, we call the doctor because the center is in Vreshtan.

Journalist: What services do you offer at home?

Qamurane Kosova: Blood pressure measurement, injections, medications, those who cannot come to the ambulance.

Reporter: Was there a patient who needed your service at home?

Qamurane Kosova: No, this was not necessary at the time.

Reporter: Have you ever been home with him?

Qamurane Kosova: I was there when he called the doctor and I went to him.

Journalist: What did you do to him?

Qamurane Kosova: Voltage measurement, nothing else.

Journalist: Was he alone or was he with his wife?

Qamurane Kosova: He was both alone and with his wife.

Journalist: On November 24...

Qamurane Kosova: Oh, please, go now!

Journalist: On November 24, when the gentleman was caught red-handed, can you tell me where you two were together when he was caught red-handed?

Qamurane Kosova: Please leave now, don't follow me because I don't owe you anything.

Journalist: When did these harassments start?

Qamurane Kosova: Oh, go now, I know the one who is in prison now. You will go now, please. Don't do anything and you will be punished a lot later.

Qamurane Kosova: Just like he used to tease me.

Journalist: Who did you witness the harassment that he did to you?

Qamurane Kosova: I myself was a witness. He would meet me on the street, dressed nicely, winking at me with his eyes and hand. I didn't answer him because I didn't talk to him. "okay, okay, don't talk, I'll fire you" and sent messages that the nurse doesn't go to work, doesn't serve, while I was going to work. I would come home from work, he would start whistling, he would watch over me again, I couldn't go outside. She used to come, approach, approach, come to the wall and tell me "I love you and I love you, I love you and you don't love me, I'll come closer..." I told her "go away because we're not the same age, you're 63 and I'm 60 years old". That's it, that's it. I endured it, I endured it...

Doctor: I was there because I am also the director of the center and as the rightful owner, I was called that day that Qamuranja had a problem with the case.

Journalist: When, on November 24?

The doctor: You have it there because the way it came out, that Ledio, because of the pressure he put on us, deviated and the testimony there that I found out later as if I was present at the moment they were doing it, let's say when she had the harassment. This very strange thing.

Journalist: Now, it is said that Dhurata has stated that he was there...

The doctor: Very dirty because how can the doctor be? Now, where was I now? Nurses operate in every village and I get to know the problems and not directly with them, but when the patient makes a complaint. I am not an eyewitness to see what she does, I explained this to him and he fell as he suffered later. I told him not to confuse me with these things because I am the head, I follow the work, follow the activity of the center, I cannot be present when the nurse measures the blood pressure, does the injection. There was a problem, they called me about this case. I told you that "I know that he is right that he is looking for service, he is a chronic patient, who did not come to us, he only received recommendations". I don't sit there and watch what the nurse does. I don't know what my husband does and you know what a nurse does.

Gazetarja: Gëzimi, a është problematik?

Kryeplaku i fshatit: Tani, derisa unë kam këto ankesat, që ka qenë problematik në toka e gjëra.

Gazetarja: Jo, nuk më intereson për toka.

Kryeplaku i fshatit: Unë këto kam shkruar atje, për toka sipas letrës që më ka dhënë ajo, i jam drejtuar dhe unë.

Gazetarja: Ku e dinit ju se ka një vit që i kërkon marrëdhënie…? Kështu keni shkruar.

Village headman: I didn't know anything, I didn't write it. No, I haven't written anything about that. This got me on the phone at dinner saying "get the local police and let's go because so and so, so and so is harassing me". However, I did not take the local police to dinner. He came here, there were also these villagers, he left nothing unsaid to me, that you eat together, etc. However, I called the local police and then arrested him at home. I don't know anything anymore, that's all I know.

Journalist: Have you had other episodes on Gëzim Kosovan regarding this problem, for harassment and persecution of village women?

Village headman: No, I haven't ./tvklan
