U n D K, LDK, Adem Demac and Hashim Thaci's role: Here's what the defense attorney said right now.

Below, the transliterated part of former President Hashim Thaci's defence attorney, Gregory Keohe, I follow Periscope:

“UCK was a guerrilla force, so it was not about organised groups, but a volunteer group for protection from the Serbian regime.

They were farmers, teachers, employees. They weren't trained soldiers, they weren't men who had armies, but they're talking about ordinary people.

I have said earlier that developments, efforts to organise in the spring of 1998, were destroyed by Serb forces.

The brigades were destroyed throughout Kosovo.

November 1998, as part of the organisation of the Serbian offensive, UCK confirms Azem Syla as the general leader.

Thaci has since had no command responsibility for troops on the ground.

The International Crisis Group had a comment. The NLA now has no strict structure and never had this structure.

“The possibility of losing power and influence is the driving force among several commanders in Rambouillet. Officers are willing to maintain unity. UCK calls its reshuffle, but in fact this has been a leadership effort to create a comprehensive, effective staff with control throughout Kosovo. This effort has been partly successful, while the area commanders have had independence”, thus speaking of the summer 1999.

State Department Letter: May 4, 1999, a month before the bomber campaign was completed

“The UN says, as long as there is no KLA command structure, it will take a lot of time to offer military assistance”. So once again, we don't have effective UCK control until May 1999. Despite the evidence, you must see that there is a lack of UCK control. There has been no command and effective control of UCK, to the extent that there was no attempt to get any control because it was destroyed during ethnic cleansing attacks.

We saw this DA's body, it's completely wrong.

In spring 1998, Hashim Thaci was invited to become part of the General Staff. It has broadcast materials and weapons from Albania. The lack of responsibilities of his command is indicated by the command of the Drenica area, which issued an arrest warrant for him on July 10, 1998.

Yesterday we heard a lot of information about The UCK that fought the LDK. FARK was a military arm of the LDK, they were trying to become part of the LDK's protracted hand, but the effort was to unite both.

Mr. Thaci has never been to this meeting, as you can see. There were Adam Demac, Bujar Bukoshi, another representative of UCK and another LDK. So it wasn't perceived that he was an important person. Why is that so? It is clear because according to command and control responsibility, Hashim Thaci had no kind of responsibility.

Hashim Thaci here is listed as one of the cabinet members, yet competencies are divided among FARK members and competencies are yellow. The first person on the list is Adam Demac, the person who had to reconcile that FARK and UCK had to unite their forces.

During the operational time of so many things mentioned by the SPS yesterday, Mr. Demac was not mentioned again yesterday, there was no discussion as the main person.

He had headquarters in Pristina, had advisors, held conferences every week, kept regular contacts with the local commanders, gave passage sheets for diplomats and journalists to go to areas controlled by UCK, mediated the banned UCK release.

He has rejected UCK's presence in Ramboulja, was one of UCK's top political leaders. He spent years of his life in prison. ZPS did not say a single word about it, said nothing about his positioning and authority”, he said. /Periscope
