Profesori i Universitetit “Johns Hopkins”, Edward P. Joseph, e ka cilësuar shokues vendimin e Gjykatës Speciale në Hagë, e cila dënoi me 81 vjet burgim ish-krerët e UÇK, Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi dhe Rexhep Selimi.
Në një intervistë në “ABC News”, Joseph u shpreh se këtë vendim, Serbia do e përdorë për të diskretituar UÇK-në dhe veprimtarinë e saj.
Joseph added that Serbia and its allies, Russia and China, will try to further isolate Kosovo.
"This will be used by Serbia as a tool to discredit the KLA, its activities. It will be used by Russia and China. They will try to isolate Kosovo even more. We have seen this month in Serbia, that the image of this character has been honored, we have seen ceremonies, hate speech has been used in Belgrade. We have witnessed how long the damages that have been inflicted are. The punishment is not equal to the punishments that Serbian figures who have committed crimes have received," he stressed.
