NATO General Wesley Clark has reacted to the Hague Court's decision, which sentenced 4 former KLA leaders to a total of 81 years in prison. In connection with the Off the Record show on A2 CNN, he said that he was shocked by the Hague's decision and that he has not seen any evidence to justify this type of decision. According to him, it will now be a difficult road for the future. "I am shocked and angry. I know Thaçi and his friends and all those who fought the war. I have testified in court, I have said what I saw and I knew what was happening in Kosovo and our cooperation with the KLA, and I have not seen any evidence to justify this kind of decision. "Unfortunately, the Court gave its decision and this will be a difficult road in the future", said the general. Asked if there was anything that matched what the judges said and what the general saw with his own eyes, he replied that Hashim Thaçi did an excellent job to protect the innocent Serbian population. and to change my mind. I met Hashim Thaçi three times during the conflict and in Rambuje. Of course I met him when I was in Kosovo, but the KLA and what was happening there was a rebellion against an authoritarian regime and not only an authoritarian regime, but also many individual crimes committed by individual Serbs against their Albanian neighbors. with people who had known each other and the Albanians felt betrayed by their Serbian neighbors who had lived a life together, but of course they were strong feelings and I thought that Hashim Thaçi did an excellent job to protect the innocent Serbian population as well, as for those who were on the river Ibër pushing the Albanians down. So I had concerns about further, but I could not say that Thaçi was someone so that he could be punished for war crimes".
