PRISHTINA, September 22/ATA/ Former British diplomat John Stewart Duncan has given his evidence in defense of former president of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi and the former leaders of Kosovo Liberation Army at The Hague and on Tuesday he will answer to question of the prosecutor.
“I don’t remember ever seeing any communiqué, mentioning executions or liquidations of collaborators or traitors to the nation,” said the former British diplomat.
Former British diplomat John Stewart Duncan, who served as a political advisor to Wesley Clark, the then-NATO commander, in the 1990s, spoke at the start of his testimony before Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague about his role in Kosovo. He said his job was to brief Clark – the general who led the bombing campaign against Serbian targets in 1999.
His testimony comes after former US Assistant Secretary of State James Rubin and former legal advisor to Kosovo’s delegation at the Rambouillet negotiations Paul Williams were heard at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague.
Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi are accused of alleged war crimes. They have been in custody since November 2020. /p.s./
