The Ministry of Justice of Serbia told Radio Free Europe that Artan Zymberi, a Norwegian citizen from Kosovo, who died in a prison in Serbia on November 27, "refused to be treated for an illness he had."

The media in Kosovo, in recent days, have reported that family members of the deceased have expressed doubts that Zymberi, 28 years old, may have been killed because of several tattoos on his body, such as those with the figure of Adem Jashari - killed by Serbian forces during the war in Kosovo in 1998 - the eagle and the emblem of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

The Ministry of Justice of Serbia announced that from February 3 of this year, Zymberi was serving a prison sentence in Sremska Mitrovica, with a duration of three years and eight months, for the criminal offense: unauthorized production and distribution of narcotics.

He was previously sentenced to detention, also in Sremska Mitrovica, where he has been since April 29, 2021. It is not clear how he came to be arrested in Serbia.

The Serbian ministry said that when Zymberi was taken into custody, she stated that she was being treated for a "certain type of illness," but she said she could not specify more because of the Law on Personal Data and Protection and Law on health care.

The ministry also said that Zymberi did not have medical documentation with him, but that he was checked several times by a doctor and that, based on his condition, he received adequate therapy. The Serbian ministry said he had "full medical care" and "regular check-ups".

According to her, Zymberi, while serving his sentence, was referred several times to a special prison hospital in Belgrade. He was said to have refused medication and food on several occasions.

For the last time, he stayed in this special hospital from July 28 to September 17 of this year. After this period, he was returned to the prison in Sremska Mitrovica with instructions for therapy and further treatment, which "this convict resolutely refused".

“Me të dënuarin është diskutuar disa herë se duke refuzuar terapinë, me dashje rrezikon shëndetin”, thuhet në deklaratën e Ministrisë serbe të Drejtësisë dhënë Radios Evropa e Lirë.

Sipas saj, mjeku ka konstatuar vdekjen e Zymberit më 27 nëntor, në ora 07:15, në shtratin e tij në burgun e Sremska Mitrovicës.

Ministria e Punëve të Jashtme e Norvegjisë bëri të ditur për REL-in se është njoftuar për vdekjen e Zymberit në burgun në Serbi, por shtoi se “për çdo pyetje për rrethanat e vdekjes, duhet drejtuar autoriteteve serbe”.

Ministria e Punëve të Jashtme dhe Diasporës në Kosovë tha për REL-in se ka kërkuar informacione lidhur me rrethanat e vdekjes së Zymberit nga Zyra Ndërlidhëse e Serbisë në Kosovë.

“Deri tani nuk na kanë ofruar ndonjë informatë, me të cilën e konfirmojnë rastin”, tha MPJD.

Lidhur me këtë rast, sipas Ministrisë serbe të Drejtësisë, u njoftua edhe policia serbe, e cila ka kryer një hetim dhe ka njoftuar Prokurorinë e Lartë Publike në Sremska Mitrovicë.

Kjo e fundit urdhëroi që trupit t’i bëhet autopsi në Institutin e Mjekësisë Ligjore në Novi Sad. Gjetjet e autopsisë u dorëzuan në prokurori, por, aktualisht, nuk janë të qarta për publikun.

Përfaqësuesi ligjor, si dhe Ambasada e Mbretërisë së Norvegjisë në Serbi u informuan për vdekjen e Zymberit. Familja e mori trupin e tij më 6 dhjetor, sipas Ministrisë serbe të Drejtësisë.

Familjarët e të ndjerit thanë se atyre nuk u është dhënë mundësia ta takojnë apo kontaktojnë Zymberin. Por, Ministria serbe tha se i hedh poshtë “të gjitha gënjeshtrat e përhapura nga individë përmes rrjeteve sociale për këtë rast".

It is added that Zymberi was visited by representatives of the Norwegian Embassy in Belgrade. She was sent to the prison in Sremska Mitrovica to provide psycho-social support, as Zymberi had not agreed to communicate with the institution's employees, nor with the doctor and others./ REL
