Al Jazeera reports guilty verdict for Kosovo’s former president Hashim Thaci
Kosovo’s former president and former KLA leader was reportedly found guilty of war crimes in The Hague. No sentence was specified in the supplied report.
Hashim Thaci, Kosovo’s former president and a former leader of the Kosovo Liberation Army, has reportedly been found guilty of war crimes in The Hague, according to Al Jazeera Global News.
The verdict was reported in proceedings before the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, which was established by Kosovo’s parliament in 2015 and operates with international judges in The Hague.
The supplied report does not identify the charges, detail the court’s factual findings or state whether a sentence has been imposed. It also does not establish the finality of the proceedings.
Earlier convictions involving Kosovo political figures have been criticised as unjust by Kosovo leaders and by Thaci’s Democratic Party of Kosovo, which was founded by Thaci and other former KLA leaders after the war.
The guilty verdict has not been independently corroborated in the supplied material.
