PRISHTINA, November 18 /ATA/ The charges against former president of Kosovo Hashim Thaçi are not substantial, stated former NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, the retired General Wesley Clark during his testimony at Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague.
Clark said that in 2020 he did not know exactly what Thaçi was being accused of. He had heard of organ trafficking claims, but he considers this accusation to be simply disinformation.
According to the US general, Thaçi was an ambitious and articulate person, but he did not have control over Kosovo Liberation Army.
Further on, the prosecutor asked whether the charges against Hashim Thaçi are substantial or not and the American general emphasized that the charges are not substantial.
General Clark was the seventh and final witness for Hashim Thaçi’s defense.
The final submissions, as well as statements on the impact of the alleged crimes on the victims, are expected to be submitted by December 22, 2025.
Four protests rallies were held in support of the leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army in Prishtina, The Hague, Tirana, and the last one was in Strasbourg.
The four former KLA leaders have been held in custody at The Hague for 5 years, since November 5, 2020. They are accused of alleged war crimes; to which they have pleaded not guilty. /KosovaPress/p.s./
