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.
The Kosovo Specialist Chambers rejected former war veterans’ organisation leaders Hysni Gucati and Nasim Haradinaj’s appeals against their convictions for obstructing justice and intimidating witnesses but reduced their sentences by three months.
