He said that even for Ramush Haradinaj's appointment as commander of the Regional Staff in Dukagjin, they have made it themselves and have had no orders from above. Tetaj said he's convinced that even if there was Staff, it was fiction, reports the “Justice Trust“.
Until we have formed the Regional District of Dukagjin Staff in Jablanica and have chosen Ramush Haradinaj as the commander of the Regional Staff of Dukagjini, we have chosen him ourselves. If there had been a high staff, we had orders. They told me it would be Ramush, the other one and the other one. No. There was also Rexhep Selimi. By vote we have made Commander Ramush Haradinaj. Even Rexhepi has proposed Lahi Brahimaj but has no Lahiu won, and Ramush Haradinaj was elected commander of Rarafshi Dukagjin. This is an element of what if there's been a high structure of Staff that is being claimed during that time, during the war and the war, we need to pick our fingers. The military commander's appointments are not made by fingers but by decision. Therefore, I have no day at that time that the General Staff of the Kosovo Liberation Army exists, even if it exists, today I am convinced that it has been figurized knowing that the KLA was born by the people and not 3-4 of the”, Tetaj said.
He said he has no idea of any order issued by any General Staff.
If we had a higher headquarters we would have submitted orders if we didn't have”, Tetaj said.
He said that each commander in his subzoning has been able to decide for himself.
“Each sub-zone commander has been able to decide for himself”, Tetaj said since he initially said communication with the area commanders was difficult.
He had claimed it was difficult even because there was no needed structure at that time.
I'm also saying that the Regional Staff of the Dukagjin Raraft and the KLA itself on the Dukagjin Plain is born of the people. This is where it started, not from the nalt. He said he didn't take up arms with a fight.
The witness agreed that by the end of June 1998 there is no following the organisation of the Military Police in the Dukagjin region.
