Former President Thaçi Emphasizes Justice Over Revenge in Recent Interview
Former Kosovo President Hashim Thaçi provided a detailed account of the ongoing judicial process in The Hague in a written interview for the “Opinion” show, broadcast on May 5, 2026. Speaking with Blendi Fevziu, Thaçi characterized the proceedings as having deviated from the core mission of justice. He referenced the analysis of American professor Daniel Sewell to support his assertion.
Thaçi stated that the court’s role should be to deliver justice, rather than pursuing “revenge based on deception.” He expressed confidence that the judges, after considering evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense, would render a fair and appropriate verdict. The interview highlighted the significance of the case beyond Thaçi’s individual fate. He underscored that the proceedings are intrinsically linked to the history of the Kosovo Liberation Army resistance.
Thaçi’s comments reflect a desire for a legal outcome grounded in a commitment to justice and a recognition of the complex historical context surrounding the events. The interview focused on ensuring a process that prioritizes accurate legal proceedings and a just resolution.
