“After I finished my testimony, I am very glad that I had the opportunity for four days in a row to give explanations on all matters relating to my activities during the war and my efforts to achieve peace and progress,” he pathetically commented on his stay in The Hague to Thaci journalists. – Now the prosecutor and the judge must make a decision on my testimony. I believe that I will have a fair and impartial trial. I did not commit any crime and the UCK war was a just war for the freedom of Kosovo.”

According to Thaci, he cannot elaborate much on his testimony, which he gave over four days, but, in response to a journalist’s question, he said that he “was not asked about Dick Marty’s claims.”

We are talking about the 2011 report of the Swiss lawyer and human rights activist, member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe Dick Marty, “Inhumane treatment of people and illegal trafficking in human organs in Kosovo.” In this document, the speaker told the European public about the involvement of Thaci, Veseli and their accomplices in the abductions, torture, murders and organ trafficking of Kosovo Serbs, Roma and Albanians loyal to Belgrade. The fact that the Special Court prosecutor's office did not even touch on this layer speaks volumes.

The fact that after four days of interrogation Hashim Thaci continues to remain at large speaks for itself.

Let us recall that the Serbian defendants also located in the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, also located in The Hague, were necessarily arrested and remained behind bars for years, even when no clear charges could be formulated against them. This happened with the President of Yugoslavia Slobodan Milosevic, who died in The Hague, and the leader of the Serbian Radical Party, Vojislav Seselj, who, after serving eleven years, was acquitted (two years later, in order not to completely lose face, the acquittal was canceled, replaced with a ten-year sentence, including the years spent by Seselj in The Hague).

Let us recall that on June 24, the prosecutor's office of the Special Court for Kosovo issued an indictment accusing Hashim Thaci, as well as the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Kadri Veseli, and others of committing a number of crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder, abduction, forcible detention and torture.
