"Convicted War Criminal"

Hashim Thaci was a criminal even when he sat with Vučić and Baroness Ashton as president. Now he is only convicted. About hypocrisy in the "region" and tribal morality that transcends blood cells

High-risk verdict

A possible conviction would not mean a change in the American or European attitude towards Kosovo's statehood, the 1999 NATO intervention or the KLA as a whole. But it would have a strong historical effect, since the man who was accepted as a political interlocutor by the Western powers in Rambouillet, who immediately after the war spoke with the President of the USA and who was later the Prime Minister and President of Kosovo, can be declared individually responsible for serious crimes committed in the very period from which his political power arose
