"We are not protesting for them to be released from the Hague court, or for the trial to be stopped, on the contrary we are demanding justice. This protest aims to truly have a fair trial, because during all this time many anomalies have occurred during the trial of the special court in The Hague" - Rafiz Aliti, Protest Council.
Organizers are urging Kosovar protesters to travel to North Macedonia by car rather than bus to avoid delays. The December 13 protest is being organized by the War Veterans Organization in support of former KLA leaders who are on trial in The Hague. /Alsat.mk
