(a year ago)Kadri Wessel's lawyer, Rodney Dixon, introduced the previous statement to witness Ismet Tara, where he had declared that all soldiers were volunteers and that they never had a regular army. Tara denied that in September 1998 there was a hierarchical structure in the army. He claims to have said that [...]
He allegedly said the KLA consisted of citizens angry by Serbian power due to mistreatment. His response was not heard, but was seen stating head-to-head, reports the “Justice Trust“.
Tara was asked if she said they wanted to give the impression that they had a real army that wasn't. The Witness said that he cannot remember, adding that there must be an English translation because he has faced many errors in preparing him with the prosecutor.
“Never, never, never, never have we had a regular army”, he said.
Tara said that until his return from Albania after September 20, 1998, he has never heard that KLA brigades exist, but only local city and village headquarters.
Until after my return from Albania after 20 September, I have not heard that KLA brigades” exist, he said.
After September 20th, the witness said it was talked about organising brigades specifically after the establishment of the Posttric Zone. After that date, Tara said the KLA has nearly broken down but that it has begun with the creation of brigades.
The “has begun a preparation for new and old soldiers to come to Albania to meet the number of few soldiers. The organisation of army-free brigades has begun, without soldiers for even smaller units not for the” brigade, Tara said.
During this time, Tara said she was the sponsor of the “Arty” unit and as a member of the logistics of this Staff.
When asked if there was any hierarchical structure after it came back from Albania in September 1998, he answered “sometimes”.
