In Kosovo, as part of the "Kosovo is Waiting" campaign, the days until the first-instance verdict in The Hague for the "heroes of the fight for freedom" Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselji, Redžep Seljimi and Jakup Krasnići are counted down.
Four of them are accused before the Special Court in The Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity: for persecution on political and ethnic grounds, unlawful deprivation of liberty, torture, murders and forced disappearances, with allegations that crimes were committed against hundreds of people, including Serbs, Roma, Albanians and political opponents of the KLA.
During the trial, the prosecution implemented certain measures to prevent "attempts to influence witnesses and interfering with their testimony and other threats to the integrity of the proceedings in the case of Thaci and others".
The pronouncement of the first-instance verdict is in May was postponed for July 20, and then, finally, for September 16.
Until then, an installation called "Waiting Hour" will count down the days, hours, minutes and seconds on "Mother Teresa" Square in Pristina.
"Every hour that passes will remind us that Kosovo is waiting. It is waiting for justice. It is waiting for dignity. It is waiting for the liberators to return to their homes," said the organizers.
Previously, on September 12, a "March for Freedom" will be held, and "Freedom Nights" have been announced in the seven zones where the KLA operated, as well as a support rally in The Hague on the very day of the verdict, writes KoSSev.
Political support for former KLA commanders is growing in Kosovo, especially after the Specialized Prosecutor's Office requested 45 years in prison for each of them in February.
The organizers of the campaign claim that they do not want to prejudge the court's decision, but that they expect that the former KLA leaders will be released and return to Kosovo.
Parallel to the activities in Pristina within the framework of the "Kosovo is waiting" campaign, a "memorial march" dedicated to the fallen members of the KLA "121 Kumanovo Brigade" and "all fallen fighters of the nation" was held on Sunday.
Former KLA member Sadri Šalja said that hundreds of young people, veterans, disabled war veterans, family members of the dead and other citizens participated in that march for the sake of those who "gave blood as a sign of solidarity and respect".
