Save for later

Former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci will learn his fate on Wednesday as international judges in The Hague deliver verdicts in his war crimes trial. Thaci faces multiple counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder, torture, and persecution, alongside three other former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders. Thousands rallied in Pristina over the weekend in support of the four men. Prosecutors have asked for a maximum 45-year prison sentence for Thaci and the others.

They have denied the charges. Thaci also faces a separate trial later this month on charges of intimidating witnesses.
