Main Points
Hashim Thaçi, former president of Kosovo, addressed supporters from his residence in Haga during the ongoing proceedings at the Kosovo Special Courts. In a written message, Thaçi thanked citizens who had backed him throughout the judicial process and expressed confidence that he would emerge “clean‑shaven, as fresh as a drop of water at the end of this journey, which continues with you and for you.” Thaçi is currently in Haga, where he is facing charges alongside former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi. On 16 September, the Special Court found the four men guilty of war crimes but acquitted them of crimes against humanity. Thaçi and Krasniqi were sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment, Veseli to 18 years, and Selimi to 13 years. The verdict represents the first‑instance decision; the defendants’ legal teams have been notified of the possibility of appeal. The case remains under review by the court’s appellate division.
