Former OVL-UÇK Leader Reacts to Criticism of Hashim Thaçi
Prishtina – Following statements made by Vetëvendosje MP Fatos Geci concerning former President Hashim Thaçi, Faton Klinaku, a former head of the OVL-UÇK (Democratic Party of Albanians), has issued a strong response. Klinaku published a photograph with Thaçi on social media, accompanied by a direct condemnation of those he perceives as disrespecting former UÇK commanders. In the post, Klinaku stated, “Anyone who offends Hashim Thaçi is a traitor and a betrayer.” The reaction follows a comment made by Geci the previous day, who suggested that Thaçi would face a similar legal outcome to that of Naim Murseli, who received a life sentence for planning the murder of his wife, Liridona Ademaj.
The statement drew immediate criticism. Democratic Party of Kosovo MP Vlora Çitaku strongly denounced Geci’s remarks, describing them as “shameful.”
This exchange highlights ongoing sensitivities surrounding historical events and figures within Kosovo’s political landscape. Klinaku’s reaction underscores the continued importance of former figures like Hashim Thaçi within Albanian political discourse.
