“Thaci will return innocent and most powerful from The Hague”

Today, it has been a year since former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci, former Kosovo Parliament Speaker Kadri Veselini, and Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi were transferred to The Hague detention centre, where they are also being accused by the Specialised Chambers. Therefore, former president Hashim Thaci's close co-workers went to his convoy in the Skyeraj Stock Exchange, where they even met his family members.

Along with political advisers on the visit was PDK deputy chairman Vlora Citaku, where they were met by former KLA leader Haxhi Thaci's father.

After the meeting, former President Thaci's political adviser Ismail Syla visited the Thaci family today to express respect for this family that is being forced to face a heavy burden.

Syla expressed that the head of KLA, Hashim Thaci will return innocent and more powerful than ever to family and political life.

And we've come in a very organized way today as advisors, colleagues, associates, PDK members to express honor for this family, which is forced to bear this heavy burden in this case to face their son's absence in the family, which has been unjustly held in a prison there for one year or 365 days.... He will yet return more powerful and innocent as he is innocent and return to his family and political life as never before, but he must also face this challenge for which he is willing and believes in his innocence and the fair fight of the Kosovo Liberation Army”, he said.

The former president's political adviser, Thaci, said the current hearing sessions in The Hague against KLA leaders are showing that this trial is not serious and without facts.

The hearing sessions show that it's really inconsistent, they're not prepared at all, they have no evidence that I can apply these people to crimes against humanity. I can't know how an Mladic who killed 8 thousand men in Srebrenica and qualified as a crime against humanity and Jakup Krasniqi who all his life only a pentographer has held or Hashim Thaci”, former President Thaci's political adviser said.

The president's political adviser, Ismet Syla for Kosova Prees, indicated that 10 days ago he visited former KLA head Hashim Thaci in The Hague.

He said Thaci's health situation is good.

I've made a two-day visit 10 days ago, of course to get there should be approved by the detainees and their administration, and two days ago I've had the chance to talk to the president, I've seen his state of health, I've seen the vitality. They are people who are kept, invincible people who have reasons and perhaps the very main reason why those people have no reason to be bored or broken is the purity of their work and their lives... There we met Mr. Veselin and Krasniqi's family and at the moments of greetings there in the passage we saw those people who were really in good health with an extraordinary harmonisation of”, he said.

The act against Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi was confirmed on November 4th of 2020, while the day after the indictment was confirmed for former KLA leaders, Kadri Veselin and Hashim Thaci, who resigned from the post of president that day.
