“It was a pleasure to welcome the members of the EU’s Political and Security Committee at the KSC today. I am grateful to the European Union for its continued support to our institution, which is fully focussed on conducting secure, independent, impartial, fair and efficient judicial proceedings in which the rights of the accused are upheld, witnesses are able to testify safely and victims can participate with dignity,” the President said.
