Kouchner deputy shows Thaci had condemned violence against ethnic minorities

Initially, an O document was presented to the witness The SEU of June 28, 1999. According to lawyer Luka Misethic, this document bore the title “Laim for Kosovo: Internal response”

Misetic said that the document said that “in Mitrovica, Kosovo Albanian leader Hashim Thaci managed to ease a possible violent confrontation on Saturday, when he stopped hundreds of people from passing on to the Serb-controlled part in the north. Thaci convinced the brain to withdraw. He said we would solve problems peacefully. He was accompanied by the UN special envoy”.

The witness said that accords with what he heard after such things had happened even before they went to Kosovo.

Things haven't changed just because we got there. We learned a lot over time. We have often learned many things many years later. So when I say that this thing is consistent it's not what I knew at the moment when I arrived and actually impresss me that those things that Mr. Thaci said were from this previous time. So we can't say it's our role that has made him say these things. It is a process that had started before our arrival”, said witness Covey.

Mishetiq, when requesting acceptance of this report on evidence, said it must be confidential since he was asked by the information provider.

Later, a document was presented to the witness, which was the newspaper article of July 26, 1999, four days after the attack on the Lipjan Gracka.

Misethic said that in this article, “Kosovo's Interim Government condemns the murder in Gracka of Lipjan. It's trying to prevent the stabilisation process”.

According to Misetic, in this article it is said that the Kosovo Interim Government has issued a statement saying unidentified attackers killed 14 citizens of Serbian nationality in Lipjan.

As a result, the lawyer said this document shows that through the declaration, the Kosovo Interim Government had condemned this crime and had expressed condolences to families of those killed.

Witness Covey said this statement by the Interim Government was in line with Hashim Thaci's statements concerning the case.

After that, a July 24th 1999 document bearing the title “Thaci was released to the witness, says we will not allow anarchy” to dominate Kosovo.

To that end, Covey said that accords with what he remembers Thaci has said about the way he has dealt with violence against ethnic minorities.

Otherwise, the witness said it was not surprising that Agim Ceku and Hashim Thaci were called traitors by extremist groups after signing the Deilitarisation Agreement, the Justice Vow“reports, broadcasts Periscope
