Former Kosovo Liberation Army area commander Rrustem Mustafa told the trial of Hashim Thaçi and other wartime guerrilla leaders in The Hague that many members of the KLA’s General Staff were mostly outside the country during the war.
Former Kosovo Liberation Army fighter Remzi Shala was convicted of kidnapping a villager suspected of collaborating with Serbian forces during the war in 1998 and was jailed for nine-and-a half years.
The Kosovo Specialist Chambers said Salih Mustafa, who was convicted of war crimes including arbitrary detention, torture and murder, should pay compensation to some of the victims.
As opening statements in the trial of four high-profile ex-guerrillas in The Hague concluded, former Kosovo Liberation Army spokesperson Jakup Krasniqi told the court that he did not commit any crime during or after the war.
Kosovo ex-guerrilla Pjeter Shala goes on trial at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers this week, accused of abusing civilian detainees held at an Albanian metal factory during wartime, but his defence claims that his own rights have been abused.
