War crimes probe

Kosovo’s president Hashim Thaci said yesterday he was going to The Hague to prove to prosecutors investigating war crimes allegedly committed during and after a 1998-99 armed conflict in Kosovo between ethnic Albanian separatists and Serbia that he had broken no international laws during the war. Thaci, a Kosovo Liberation Army commander, was mentioned in an indictment together with former Kosovo assembly speaker Kadri Veseli. Both have denied responsibility for war crimes.
