US Presidential Envoy for Special Missions Richard Grenell congratulated Kosovo on its 17th anniversary of independence today.
"I wish all my friends in Kosovo a joyful and safe celebration of the 17th anniversary of independence. However, this milestone is overshadowed by a grave injustice. The founder of Kosovo statehood, President Hashim Thaci, should be celebrating today in Pristina, not behind bars in The Hague," he wrote on the "X" network.
Europeans, he added, "have failed to act against this injustice for the last five years."
"And the state institutions of Kosovo have not taken the necessary legal action to end this injustice – because of politics. This unlawful deprivation of liberty must end," he concluded.
