Former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has been sentenced to 25 years in prison by a war crimes tribunal in The Hague.
The former Kosovo Liberation Army leader was convicted alongside three co-defendants, prompting strong reactions across the region. Supporters gathered in The Hague and Pristina to denounce the verdict, while many in Serbia said the sentence was too lenient.
Minor clashes erupted after the ruling, highlighting how deeply divisive the legacy of the Kosovo war remains nearly three decades later.
