(6 years ago)Former American diplomat James Rubin, who has also served as assistant to US Secretary of State for Public Affairs at the time of President Bill Clinton and State Department spokesman, in an interview with journalist Sokol Balla's Real Story, has spoken of publishing the indictment against President Hashim Thaci from The Hague Prosecutor. [...]
Asked how much you believe Hashim Thaci committed crimes before, during and after the war, Rubin has said, that he has always been interested in the charges issued at the address of the president of Kosovo, but points out that such ones have always remained on the level of gossip and have never been confirmed.
Ruby has said that he expects facts because he says he believes only in what he sees.
He has also said he will be proud of his friendship with President Thaci.
Look, I can only judge what I see, I can only judge who I know. Every time a person faces charges from the secret services, I ask them if you have any new information on the charges against Hashim Thaci. I always ask them because I want to know the facts. And I haven't heard of these people talking about new information. I've been in government, and such information has always been rumors, never confirmed. I don't think people who press charges are correct, I expect facts and I believe that I will be proud of my friendship with Hashim Thaci even today”, Rubin said, Express.
He has said, among other things, he has not expected the indictment against President Thaci to be published, until the Special Prosecutor's act calls it a strange act. Meanwhile two years ago, it had become known that Rubin was part of the lobby company “Ballard Partners”, led by Brian Ballard, a lobbyist close to American President Donald Trump, whom the Kosovo presidency had paid a total of 517 thousand and 198 euros in exchange for consultancy services for the President's office.
