Hague Court Convicts Former Kosovo President Thaci, Three Ex-KLA Leaders
The ruling has caused shock among political leaders and citizens in Kosovo, according to Deutsche Welle reporting from Pristina.
A court in The Hague has convicted former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci along with three other former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), according to Deutsche Welle (DW).
DW reported that the conviction has caused consternation in Kosovo, both among political leaders and among ordinary citizens in the capital, Pristina.
Thaci, who served as Kosovo's president and was a prominent figure in the KLA during the 1998-1999 conflict with Serbia, has been a central figure in the country's post-war political history.
Further details regarding the specific charges, sentencing, and the identities of the three other convicted former KLA leaders were not immediately available in the source report.
DW indicated it would continue reporting on reactions from Pristina as the situation develops.
