STRASBOURG, France, Jan. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Council of Europe, to which 46 states with over 600 million citizens belong, today voted in favor of dealing with past cases of abuse along the lines of Switzerland.

War crimes trial of Hashim Thaçi, the 'George Washington of Kosovo', will do little to reduce tensions in the Balkans

He was elected as prime minister in January 2008 and declared Kosovo’s independence a month later.

Key Points: 
  • He was elected as prime minister in January 2008 and declared Kosovo’s independence a month later.
  • Joe Biden, as US vice-president, referred to Thaçi as “Kosovo’s George Washington” when he visited the White House in 2010.

The charges

    • They have jurisdiction over war crimes, crimes against humanity and other crimes under Kosovo law during the period from January 1 1998 to December 31 2000.
    • These “opponents” allegedly included ethnic minorities (Serbs, Roma and others), as well as ethnic Albanians who did not support the KLA.

Organ trafficking allegations

    • His fellow defendants have also denied any guilt in what Krasniqi said was “a joint liberation enterprise and state-forming enterprise”.
    • One of the accusations against Thaçi and his co-defendants is that they were involved in the trafficking of human organs.
    • The organ trafficking claims were first made in 2008 and investigated by Dick Marty, a Swiss politician and former prosecutor.

Reactions to the trial

    • There is predictably strong opposition to the trial among Kosovo Albanians.
    • Many Kosovo Albanians, however, are unlikely to make this distinction, instead viewing the trial as an indictment of the entire Kosovo Albanian war effort.

Witness fears

    • Previous experience suggests it might be hard to get witnesses to come forward.
    • The Council of Europe report by Dick Marty referred to the relevance of Kosovo Albanian society being “still very much clan-orientated”.
    • Competing interpretations of the past are – and will remain – one of the long-term legacies of the war in Kosovo.
