Since taking up office as Kosovo's head of state in February, President Hashim Thaci seems to have moved away from the limelight.

In government as Prime Minister, Thaci supported the establishment of the Specialist Chambers in the Hague, a new court that will deal with war crimes committed in Kosovo during 1998-2000.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci says he wants Hillary Clinton to win in the U.S. presidential elections.

He has also called on Albanians in the U.S. to vote for Clinton.

The Humanitarian Law Centre will appeal to the Constitutional Court over a ruling ordering it to compensate Serbian Army chief Ljubisa Dikovic for accusing him of involvement in war crimes in Kosovo and Bosnia.

Kosovo’s parliament passed a resolution calling for the release of Mitrovica police director Nehat Thaci, who was arrested in Serbia on terrorism charges, and for the EU to intervene to ensure he is freed.

Kosovo Serb political party leader Oliver Ivanovic, convicted of war crimes for ordering the murder of ethnic Albanians in Mitrovica in April 1999, launched an appeal against his nine-year sentence.

Kosovo police's director in the Mitrovica area, Nehat Thaci, arrested on terrorism charges, was transferred from the prison in Niš to Belgrade for the hearing.

Thaci underwent questioning at the Special Court, denying the accusations, while his attorneys claim that he was illegally arrested and that the proceeding is being intentionally delayed.

President Hashim Thaci sent letters to Kosovo prosecutors urging them to take action to resolve a series of crimes against both ethnic Albanians and Serbs during and after the war in 1999.

Nehat Thaci told a court hearing in Belgrade on Monday that he denied charges accusing him of expelling a Serb family from the village of Lipljan during the Kosovo war in July 1999 and threatening them with a bomb.

After the prosecution in Kosovo opened a probe into seven more officials of the ruling Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK - accused of involvement in a wiretap scandal - the party that has long dominated the country is in danger of crumbling, some experts say.

Hashim Thaci's intent to organize a referendum on the unification of the self-proclaimed state of Kosovo with Albania has the goal of pressuring Serbia.
