Kosovo war crimes trial: Former president accused of crimes against humanity • FRANCE 24 English

Kosovo's former president is on trial at The Hague today. Hashim Thatchi is accused of war crimes, dating back to Kosovo's late 90s conflict with Serbia. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. A former rebel leader, Thatchi fought for Kosovo's independence and dominated the young nation's democracy for years. But his image has been tarnished by accusations of links to organised crime, politically motivated murders and corruption. FRANCE 24's correspondent Fernande Van Tets is in The Hague, and gave us more details about how Thatchi is viewed inside Kosovo.
