We will put end to the case “Trajkovski said Omer Kulikj, the chief investigator of the international team and president of the Commission for Aviation at the Ministry of Transport and Communication of Bosnia and Herzegovina, in relation to the new investigation for the collapse of the government “Kinger” in Rotemlje, 10 years ago when the Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski, associates and members of the crew lost their lifes.
“Absolutely, we can put an end to the case. Everything is clarified. There are no longer questions about it,” said Kulikj for the news agency Anatolia, report MIA.
He confirmed that the new investigation is completed, but the committee will not present its findings to the 10th anniversary of the death of Trajkovski, as previously was announced, but in March or April. The results of the investigation first will be delivered to the BiH prosecutor.
“The investigation is generally done. There are two or three tiny details and that is it. It is a document of the department. It remained to prepare it and to give opinions that we have to send and report,” said Kulikj.
According to Kulikj, the BiH prosecutor will decide whether in his opinion there are elements of crime and in cooperation with the prosecutor of Macedonia will analyze, align, and will evaluate what happened.
However, Kulikj could not say whether the investigation goes in that direction that Trajkovski was assassinated, as for years claims the lawyer of the victims in the airplane crash, Ignjat Panchevski.
The investigation for the collapse of the government “Kinger” was re- opened in January 2013 at the request of Macedonia, after collection of additional evidence by the MIA.
On 26 February 2004 at the place Rotimlje, in Mostar, in plane crash were killed Macedonian President Boris Trajkovski, associates and members of the crew. Initially it was concluded that the reasons for collapse was procedural error in the pilot team during the phase of landing at the Mostar Airport, while the BiH Prosecutor blamed no one for plane crash.
