Hashim Thaci speaks to the Special Court again: International pressure

In his last-year speech, Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has not left without mention of the Special Court.

According to him, the international community has imposed its establishment and institutions have accepted this because otherwise, “would be powerless to prevent the establishment of another international court, under UN umbrella”.

We voted at that time to maintain partnership with the US, the EU and NATO. I think the Special Court won't be able to do what promotes it, strengthen the sense of justice, for the victims of war. Honored soldiers, citizens as if there were such justice that is trumpeted by the international factor, 100 special courts of this kind would have to be made only for the crimes Serbia and Milosevic committed in the Balkan states and here in Kosovo”, he has said.

He said the paradox they face is depressing. Thaci said the same Serbia today has the door open for the EU, while Kosovo unjustly remains isolated.

Kosovo and all of us love justice, but we refuse to be discriminated against and humiliated in its name, just to please those who cannot endure the existence and success of our state”, Thaci has said.
