Prime Minister Edi Rama, who is on an official visit to Kosovo on the eve of the 18th anniversary of Kosovo's Independence, has spoken in defense of the KLA war and its leaders who are being tried in The Hague.

He was ironic when he said that while the court is claiming the conviction of four former KLA leaders, the same thing should happen to the leaders of the states that gave the green light for the bombing of Serbia, which also ended the war in Kosovo.

Edi Rama: Kosovo tested it and fortunately the West, by recognizing Kosovo, passed the test of its humanity. If today the West does not pass this test and takes on the task of burying it alive, hurting the people and Kosovo badly, this is a very big problem.

I don't know how to say more, but this is a hostage-taking for political reasons, not of the West as a whole, but of forces that wanted to equate two things that cannot be equated, the ethnic violence of a completely fascist war machine and the liberation war of an army that was called an army but was in fact a popular mobilization where those who were treated in court as commanders were the spiritual and moral leaders of this mobilization.

There is something even more serious, because if for the West, Thaçi Veseli, Karasniqi and Selimi should be buried alive for the war and for what happened during it, the arrests must continue, Bill Clinton, Javier Solana, Tony Blair, the other prime ministers of the countries that gave the green light to the bombings must be arrested and what Milosevic preached must happen, so that they, along with the Swiss, do not find peace where they are.
This was unimaginable. What is happening is very serious.
