Former Kosovo Premier Albin Kurti has commented the testimony President Hashim Thaçi will give today at Kosovo’s Special Chambers in The Hague, where he has arrived to be interviewed by the prosecutors over the accusations of war crimes during the conflict in Kosovo in the 1990s. In his video-message, Kurti said the Prime Minister Avdullah Hoti is merely a tool in Thaçi’s hands.

The leader of Vetëvendosje (Self determination) also accused Thaçi of taking the post of the President of Kosovo to the Special Chambers.

“Based on the Article 131 of the Constitution, the extraordinary situation can be declared only by the president, whose decree must be passed by the parliament”, Kurti said. “Why is the government threatening us with the declaration of the extraordinary situation? What has it got to do with this declaration? There is only one explanation: Prime Minister Hoti is a spokesman of the presidency, Thaçi’s instrument, who took the president’s chair to the Special Chambers in The Hague”.
