Three other KLA commanders also received sentences, while all denied charges and plan to appeal. The verdict triggered violent protests from loyalists who view Thaci as a national hero, forcing police to use tear gas and water cannons. Despite helping create the court that convicted him, Thaci remains a divisive figure — widely celebrated in Kosovo, where tens of thousands rallied before the ruling. He’s also facing a separate trial for witness intimidation later this month, underscoring the enduring controversy surrounding the KLA’s legacy and the pursuit of justice in post-war Kosovo.
