Today is the third day of the trial against the former leaders of the KLA in The Hague!

The defense team of the former Speaker of the Assembly Jakup Krasniqi will speak today, after the defense teams of Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli and Rexhep Selim presented their positions on Tuesday.

During the second day of the trial, the two accused addressed the jury: Hashim Thaçi and Rexhep Selimi. The defense of Hashim Thaçi said that their client did not have commanding power over the KLA, nor did he exercise effective power as prime minister of the Provisional Government.

While the defense of Kadri Veseli said that there is no evidence or witnesses against him that links him to the alleged crimes in the indictment. According to the defense of Rexhep Selim, there are no hints in the indictment that he ordered any alleged crime.

During the speech in front of the jury, the former superior of the KLA, Hashim Thaçi, said that he felt sorry for all the victims and again declared that he is innocent. Thaçi said that this trial has exonerated him, the KLA and the people of Kosovo with the allegations of organ trafficking.

The former superior of the KLA, Rexhep Selimi, during his speech before the court, said that he is not afraid of justice, but "we should all be afraid of injustice", expressing his belief that at the end of the judicial process, his innocence is proven.
