Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said today that he does not believe that Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) member Hashim Thaci, who is accused of crimes against humanity, will receive a severe sentence at his trial on Wednesday, September 16th.
"I wish my initial predictions were not good, and that this other information I received was more accurate, but I don't believe it. 15 days ago I received information that he would be sentenced to the amount he needs to cover his detention, I received that from our services. And now in Paris, talking to some European and world leaders, I received some different hints," he said after touring the construction works on the "Vožd Karađorđe" expressway near Mladenovac.
He assessed that today's protests in support of KLA members will be a "rhapsody of nationalism and hatred towards Serbs", in Tirana, Skopje, and Pristina.
"In Tirana, they will support it even more strongly in order to escape from their protests, in Pristina it will be the biggest. We have to protect our people and take care of ourselves," Vučić said.
Representatives of the civic platform "Freedom has a name" have called on the citizens of Kosovo to participate in the "March for Freedom", which will be held today at Skanderbeg Square in Pristina, in support of KLA members Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselji, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi.
The special court will deliver its verdict in the trial of Thaci and others on Wednesday, September 16th in The Hague.
