The indictment against former leaders of the so-called Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) before the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague was based exclusively on illegal detentions and it was a trial of the entire KLA and not of individual members, the Serbian Parliament’s Committee for Kosovo and Metohija chairman, Milovan Drecun, said on April 4. 

Speaking to TV Pink, Drecun described German Ambassador in Pristina Joern Rohde’s statement that it was not the KLA on trial, but only individuals, as “shameful,” noting that “from German diplomats, one can only expect such statements.”  

“As much as the Albanians have been trying to show that this is not a trial of the terrorist KLA, this is actually a trial of that criminal organization. And the entire organization is described as criminal in the indictment. And now it will be presented, I am absolutely convinced that evidence will demonstrate that those heinous crimes were committed,” Drecun stressed. 

Speaking about protests in Pristina against the indictment, Drecun said that the Albanian community was not ready to deal with the crimes.
