Former soldier of KLA: No regular army in the world can make war cleaner than the KLA

Former member of the Llap Operative Zone, Fatmir Humolli during his testimony to the Specialised Chambers in the trial of former KLA member Salih Mustafa has declared that no regular army in the world can wage better war than the NLA has ever fought.

Humoll, who today appeared in court as a witness from the SPS, said that one day or a half before the end of the Serbian offensive in Zlath, he met Mustaf when injured persons and those without weapons from Zlatko to Kolic. But, he also stated that meetings with Mustaf were very weekly because of developments.

I volunteered to help this court. It must be realized that there has been no tendency to change it, no tendency for either you or the lawyer, because I am very convinced that no regular army in the world can wage a better fight than the NLA”, Humwall said.

The prosecutor then asked me to know the exact date of the Humoll meeting with Mustaf, but he said of these cannot determine the exact date, but that the meetings were weekly.

Humoll: I haven't been able to meet Salih Mustafa in weeks... I can't set a precise date, but the meetings have been weekly and it's the dates for us days have been the same, it hasn't been weekends, it's all been day of war... Most of the meetings we had in Sharba were also meetings in Rimanash, Llapish depending on the need and circumstances we met. The nature meetings with Salih Mustaf with our superiors were everywhere we moved, I met the superiors of the brigades, the respective units when I was in Gollak's section, I met the 153th Brigade, when I was in Llapashtica was 151, the 142nd Brigade when I went to Chichavica, I met the 142nd headquarters Operative Zone of Shala<0, he said.

Asked about the time when Sali Mustaf had met him in Zlath and how he had met him, the Humolli witness said the meeting was a day or a half before the offensive ended in Zlat.

The “should still not be able to say the exact date, but I can say that a day or a half before the Serbian offensive ends in Zlath. We have transported the wounded and the unarmed people from Zlatko to Koliq and has organized this part by Sali Mustafa and Sej Sej Veselin, and I have been part of aiding them and in this transport has Deputy Commander of the Brigade Sali Mustafa and Nundman Dean attended in the framework that has been a member of the army staff of”, Humol said.

The prosecutor was interested in knowing whether Salih Mustafa had participated in the shift of the wounded, while witness Fatmir Humolli said the decision to shift civilians' injuries had taken over the 153 Brigade headquarters, which was part of Mustafa.

He even indicated that in the wounded, he saw Mustafa herself after a friend was injured.

There's no way I'm going to spend 10 days without meeting, and I don't have a record date, and for the mission to get the wounded out of Zlata because of the offensive that I know has ended on April 19th-20th, it must be these two-three days that I've stayed on my own... When I met 153 Brigades, I never know what Salih Mustafa did, but I know the 153 Brigade headquarters has made a decision to evacuate unarmed and injured people, to remove the devastating part of the soldiers and turn that part into a fighting zone with smaller groups to harm Serb forces and to have minor damage to the civilian and our soldiers... He was personally Sali Mustafa because he was a soldier a friend of his who was wounded and I remember that because of him he was in the wounded. (Procuror: So you saw him helping the wounded... I've seen it, and I've seen it, and the moves have been in common to transport the wounded to the enemy rear... (Procuror: Where did you send the wounded from Zlatko? From Zllash they moved to a neighborhood in Kekkolla and waited until morning to leave at the time when there was no Serb power, to leave for Coliqiti where offensives were held, and Serbian forces had left Coliqi”, he said.

The prosecutor went on to question which part of Zlatshi took the wounded who were sent to Kolic. Witness Hummol said that the wounded were on the outskirts of Zlatshi's neighborhood.

The Zlati neighborhood has close to 20 houses and something I don't know, the Zllash centre has been the school of Zllash the house has been around school, the wounded have been on the outskirts of Zllash's neighborhood, over the Zllash school, because of the height and position it has been, because it has been able to protect more easily because it has been further away from the streets and Serbian forces have not been able to penetrate it”, he said.

Asked whether he was aware that there was a military hospital in Zlat, witness Humolli said that at the facilities where his family was staying in Zlatko there was also a hospital where the wounded remained until they moved to Kolic.

Humoll: These objects where my family stayed were an object that was a hospital and from there we took the wounded to Kolic are those objects where there was a civilian population where my wife and children were and the wounded were.

Prosecutor: Speaking of the wounded in the context of your family in Zlath, the wounded have arrived after your family left and went to Pristina, or while your family was in Zlat?

Humoll: It was my family there who had the wounded after there were developments in Marevci's year that were fighting and they did damage to our soldiers and they left a village of Marevci's year telling him it's under the Zllash neighborhood.
