The Kosovo Specialist Chambers, an EU-backed court based in The Hague, has convicted former Kosovo President and Prime Minister Hashim Thaçi of war crimes, sentencing him to 25 years in prison. The court found Thaçi guilty of murder, torture, cruel treatment, and arbitrary detention.
Thaçi, 58, resigned from his presidential office nearly six years ago to face these charges. The verdict was delivered via livestream to crowds in Prishtina, where many had gathered in anticipation of an acquittal.
