Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has been charged with war crimes by the special prosecutor’s office in The Hague.

Mr Thaci and nine others “are criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders”, a press release said, as well as torture and enforced disappearances.

The crimes allegedly took place after Kosovo’s independence war in 1999.

Prosecutors said the charges resulted from a “lengthy investigation” and they were confident they can prove “all charges beyond a reasonable doubt”.

Allegations of organ-trafficking against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) were first set out by a former Hague war crimes prosecutor, Carla del Ponte in 2008.

Hashim Thaci was a wartime political leader of the KLA.
