Thaçi Reflects on Pre-Departure Moments Ahead of Hague Trial
Hashim Thaçi, the former President of Kosovo, recounted his experiences leading up to his departure for The Hague in November 2020. Speaking on April 5, 2026, Thaçi detailed the morning of his planned journey, stating he informed his family of his intention to travel. According to Thaçi’s account, the news elicited a complex reaction.
He described the initial response as painful, yet ultimately supportive. His family urged him to prioritize his health and approach the situation with composure. “I told Lume and Endrit, I also told my parents ‘they say that I also have to go to Hague’,” Thaçi stated.
“They were very upset, advising me to focus on my well-being and maintain a calm demeanor.”
Thaçi emphasized the importance of accepting the circumstances. He recalled his family’s words: “God has written it.” The former president then held a press conference at 11:00 am before his departure to The Hague. This marked a significant step in the legal proceedings against him.
It appears that the situation had become deeply attached to his personal life, prompting a profound and carefully considered response from those closest to him.
