They are also defending Kosovo\u2019s independence in The Hague; they are defending all of Kosovo, the entire Albanian people, and Albanian territories. This is the last message I give, and let Albin Kurti know well: he must not insult any liberator anymore. He must not insult or offend any liberator. If there is evidence against any liberator, since we have our state institutions here\u2014the Prosecutor\u2019s Office, the Courts, and the Police\u2014they should send them there, not insult liberators. Even worse now while they are in The Hague. Albin Kurti is also dealing with them; when he calls Rexhep Selimi a criminal, he is also calling me and all members of my veteran family criminals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking about the former KLA leaders facing trial at the Specialist Chambers in The Hague, he said they are being held unjustly, adding that Kurti should know they are liberators, not criminals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) veteran, Agim Pllashniku, protested in front of the Government building of Kosovo, where he also placed photographs of former KLA leaders Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi, and Jakup Krasniqi.
