The Special Court talks about the scriptures Thaci will be invited to The Hague: Everything said in Dick Marty's report is being investigated.

It is now a public secret that President Thaci is subject to Special Investigations, but has officially never been confirmed. A day after reporting on Swedish radio that Thaci could be called to The Hague, the Specialised Prosecutor's Office has stressed to Express that everything raised as suspicion in Dick Marty's report is being investigated

Hashim Thaci is the most mentioned name in the Council of Europe report “for inhuman treatment and illegal trafficking of human organs during the war in Kosovo”. Former political leader of The KLA) during the war, the chief of the Interim Government shortly after it, is mentioned 26 times in this report, on the basis of which 16 years later established the so-called Specialised Chambers and Kosovo Specialised Prosecutor's Office, known as the Kosovo Special Court in The Hague.

This report in Kosovo is recognised as Dick Marty's report, as the latter, the Swiss senator, was its designer in 2011.

The report in question has been referred to Monday's Journal Express by the Specialised Prosecutor's Office, when asked whether Hashim Thaci, now president of Kosovo, is being investigated by any prosecutor specialising in The Hague.

The Special Prosecutor's “Office is conducting the most comprehensive investigation of all allegations mentioned in the Kosovo Human Organic Treatment and Illegal Trafficking Report, published by the European Council”, SPS spokesman Christopher Bennett has said.

The same one has said that the office he is committed to as spokesman “does not comment on the status of investigations”, referring to doubts possible against Hashim Thaci.

This response by the SPS came a day after a media in Sweden reported that the former director of the KLA political directorate could be one of the guests for an interview by the Special Court's Prosecutor in The Hague.

“President Thaci himself is one of those who may be subject to The Hague tribunal”, writing Swedish public radio “Sveriges Radio”.

Just hours later, this report was changed, removing President Thaci from the article.

For that, SPS Bennett says to be aware.

The Special Prosecutor's Office is reported to the Kosovo media for a Swedish radio report, which itself quoted Kosovo media. The Special Prosecutor's Office does not take a stand for media reports, nor does it comment on the status of investigations”, he has said of Gazette Express.

On the other hand, President Hashim Thaci's office, on Monday all day, has not responded to the newspaper's interest in involving the country's first among those subject to the investigation by The Hague's Specialised Prosecutor's Office on Kosovo.

Otherwise, Kosovo's Specialised Chambers, known as the Special Court, were voted in the Kosovo Assembly in August 2015. Through special law, these Specialised Chambers were founded to try certain crimes committed from January 1st 1998 to December 31, 2000, within Kosovo's territory.

They were created as a result of a report by Swiss Dick Marty, who presented him to the Council of Europe in January 2011.

The report contains allegations of serious crimes allegedly committed The KLA during and shortly after the last war in Kosovo. The same assumptions were based on a book that former Hague Tribunal prosecutor Carla Del Ponte had written, three years before Marty drafted the report.

In the report, besides Hashim Thaci, other former KLA leaders are mentioned as: Kadri Veselin, Azem Syla, Fatmir Limaj, Xhavit Haliti, Ramush Haradinaj's Shaip Muja.

Key characters in Dick Marty's report remain Hashim Thaci. The former KLA political leader's name figures on almost every 30 pages of the report.

Seven years after this report, the Specialised Prosecutor's Office, which was created as a result, has recently begun inviting the first suspects to be interviewed who can face trial in Specialised Chambers. Eight guests have been confirmed, among them and the former commanders: Sami Lushtaku, Rrustem Mustafa-Remi, Nazif Mehmeti etc., and former head of the KLA Military Court Sokol Doburna.
