Former Kosovo President Thaci on Trial for War Crimes in The Hague

Former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, along with three other former KLA leaders, has pleaded not guilty to 10 charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. The charges relate to crimes committed during the 1998 to 1999 armed conflict against Serbian forces, including persecution, imprisonment, torture, murder, and enforced disappearance of persons. Kosovo declared its independence in 2008, but Serbia has refused to recognise it. Thaci served as president from 2016, but resigned in 2020 following his indictment.

Kosovo's Former President Thaci Pleads Not Guilty in War Crimes Trial

Former Kosovo president Hashim Thaci and three other top members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) rebel group pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity at a special tribunal in The Hague. Prosecutors allege that Thaci led a bloody campaign against opponents that resulted in more than 100 murders during the 1990s independence war against Serbia. The KLA enforced a brutal reign of imprisonment, torture, and killings to tighten their grip on power during and after the war.
