科索沃独立18年, 前总统萨契(Thaçi)的战争罪审判在海牙结束。 Kosovo marks 18 years of independence as former president Thaçi's war crimes trial concludes in The Hague.

在对前总统哈希姆·萨奇和三名前科军指挥官在海牙科索沃专家分庭受审期间,科索沃正值独立18周年。 Kosovo marks its 18th anniversary of independence amid ongoing trial of former president Hashim Thaçi and three former KLA commanders at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague. 在1998-1999年冲突期间被指控犯有战争罪和危害人类罪,包括杀人和拘留中心的行动,Thaçi面临一项起诉请求,要求判处45年徒刑,根据历史和现行法律,这一请求被认为不相称。 Accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity during the 1998–1999 conflict, including killings and detention center operations, Thaçi faces a prosecution request for a 45-year sentence—criticized as disproportionate under both historical and current laws. 被告否认有罪,理由是缺乏证据和Thaçi在关键时期缺席科索沃,而西方官员则作证支持他。 The defense denies guilt, citing lack of evidence and Thaçi’s absence from Kosovo during key periods, while Western officials have testified in his support. 2026年2月18日结束辩论, 因为全国辩论强化了正义、和解与独立斗争的遗产。 Closing arguments concluded on February 18, 2026, as national debate intensifies over justice, reconciliation, and the legacy of the independence struggle.
