The leader of the Democratic Party Lulzim Basha said he is convinced that President Hashim Thaci, the leader of Democratic Party of Kosovo Kadri Veseli, former parliament speaker and all other KLA fighters will prove to the world that the indictments against them are unfounded.
He called it unfair to equate the victim with the aggressor.
“No one can equate the KLA’s just fight for human dignity and freedom with the massacres and genocide perpetrated by [Slobodan] Milosevic’s criminal hordes against the civilian population of Kosovo,” said Basha.
Kosovo’s President Hashim Thaci resigned after an indictment on war crimes by the Specialist Prosecutor’s Office was confirmed by the Specialist Chambers Kosovo on Thursday.
“As I promised I will not allow in any circumstances for the president of Kosovo to be before the court, so to protect the integrity of the state of Kosovo, people of Kosovo […], today I resign from this position,” Thaci told media during a press conference.
