The trial of the former leaders of the KLA in The Hague towards the end! What

In two years, over 125 witnesses invited by the Specialist Prosecution have given their testimony regarding the charges against former KLA leaders. Now that the time for the Prosecution to prove its charges is running out, the future of the trial is uncertain.

In October 2020, the indictment for war crimes and crimes against humanity against four former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) was confirmed.

Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi are accused of being part of a "joint criminal enterprise" that targeted those it considered "collaborationists" and "traitors" to "gain power" during and after the last war in Kosovo.

Lawyers for the accused have rejected all charges against their clients, arguing that the KLA did not have an efficient command structure.

At the time of the indictment, Thaci had been president of Kosovo; Veseli, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK); Selimi, MP and leader of the parliamentary group of the Vetevendosje Movement (Vetevendosje); and Krasniqi, former speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo.

All four, according to the Prosecutor's Office, held high positions even during the time covered by the indictment./rel
