Kadri Veseli sentenced to 18 years by Kosovo Specialist Chambers

Klestor Veseli, son of former Kosovo Parliament Speaker Kadri Veseli, has shared personal reflections following the sentencing of former Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) leaders by the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague.

Kadri Veseli received an 18-year prison sentence during the first-instance verdict announced on September 16. Klestor Veseli described the emotional atmosphere in the courtroom, noting that the family had prepared for various scenarios despite their optimism. He recounted a moment in the public gallery where he used a sign language gesture meaning ‘I love you’ to greet his father.

Klestor Veseli also noted that the manner in which the legal reasoning was read during the session indicated that his father and other former UÇK leaders would face convictions. He expressed that his family felt more concerned with political implications than the judicial process itself.
