Thaçi: Those indicted by special court must surrender (Dialog Plus)
Kosovo’s President, Hashim Thaçi, during an interview with Austrian Press Agency said that all those that will be indicted by the special court for war crimes, must surrender to justice, even if they are politicians. The news site reports that during the interview, Thaçi avoided the question whether he would continue to hold the post of the President if an indictment against him would be filed. He said he does not want to prejudge anything or give statements that would affect the judicial process. "This court was established by the Kosovo institutions, with the willingness of the Kosovo Assembly members,” Thaçi said. According to him, the special court will only confirm Kosovo’s just war. “If we have violated laws, then those were not international laws but rather Milosevic’s laws,” he said. Thaçi also announced that Kosovo will soon ratify the agreement on border-demarcation with Montenegro. He said opposition’s consent is not needed for this, “because the ruling-coalition has two-thirds majority in the Assembly.”
