Rubin: Thaci pledged to President Clinton that there would be no revenge

James Rubin testified to a call by Hashim Thaci with then US President Bill Clinton in June 1999, and how Thaci had vowed to respect minorities, although his people had been mistreated for years.

I've heard from Sandy Berger, president Clinton's security adviser, because I haven't spoken directly to the president. He had told President Clinton that, despite the violence they had suffered, they would not retaliate”, Ruby said.

“would not take revenge when Serbian troops were leaving and NATO would take over. Of course there could be acts of violence in these situations, but President Clinton was very impressed by this, and Berger said that to me”.
