Kosovo's "President" Hashim Thaci was accused by prosecutors at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague, the Netherlands, for his 10 crimes against humanity, war crimes and murders committed during the Kosovo War from 1998 to 1999. It was believed that the prosecution might arise from the power struggle between the U.S. and European Union ¡]EU¡^ for a say in the Kosovo's affairs. The Washington, D.C. originally planned to engage both Thaci and the Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic in peace talks at the White House in an attempt to take forward a highly controversial agreement on territorial exchanges, which was opposed by the EU. Yet, the charges targeting Thaci had interrupted his trip to the U.S. and the subsequent talks.

The Kosovo Specialist Chambers is not an international court, but a court established in 2015 under Kosovo law with support from the EU. The European Commission issued a report in 2011 saying that the "Kosovo Liberation Army" once led by Thaci was suspected of killing Serbian civilians and Albanian political opponents in the Kosovo War from 1998 to 1999, and a specialist chamber, with experts from Europe and the U.S. serving as judges and prosecutors, was consequently formed for hearing cases related to the conflicts.

The Special Prosecutor's Office had filed an indictment against 10 former leaders of the "Kosovo Liberation Army" including Thaci in April, but delayed in releasing the details until recent days. The statement said that the special international prosecutor, after a lengthy investigation, believed that Thaci, Kosovo's former "Parliamentary Speaker" Kadri Veseli and others should be criminally responsible for nearly 100 murders targeting Kosovo Serbs, Albanians and Roma, involving criminals such as torture and persecution.

Normally, the charges needed to be confirmed and approved by pre-trial judge before announcement, but the prosecutor explained that the details were released in advance due to Thaci and Veseli's repeated attempts to obstruct and undermine the work of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, criticizing them for putting their personal interests ahead of the victims of their crimes, the rule of law, and all people of Kosovo.

Veseli, former leader of the opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo, dismissed the charges and accused prosecutors of playing politics. He said the indictment was made a few days before the meeting at the White House, which raised suspicions that this was only coincidence; meanwhile, he claimed that it was the Serbs but not Albanians who committed the war crimes, describing the charges as rewriting history.

As coordinated by Richard Grenell, former U.S. Ambassador to Germany and current U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Kosovo and Serbia, Thaci was originally scheduled to have peace talks with Vucic at the White House on Saturday, with the focal point being the issue of border adjustment in Kosovo. The U.S. had been pushing forward the exchange of territory between Serbia and Kosovo in recent months, advocating the idea of swapping an Albanian region in southern Serbia for mostly ethnic Serb populated parts of northern Kosovo.

However, the EU had long been opposing this arrangement for fear that some other Balkan countries would follow suit, hence resulting in a new round of conflicts. The previous U.S. governments had never showed sign of support, but the current President Trump's administration made a sudden change unexpectedly.

Following the announcement made by the Special Prosecutors Office about the charges, Thaci's office immediately announced the cancellation of his trip to the U.S., and the "Prime Minister" Avdullah Hoti, originally scheduled to replace Thaci, said that he would not depart for Washington, D.C. as well. Grenell respected Thaci's decision to re-engage in peace negotiations only after the legal issues were properly handled, while the Serbian side had yet to indicate whether the delegation would attend the meeting as scheduled.

Kosovo, an autonomous region of Serbia, declared unilaterally its "independence" in 2008, which was, however, recognized by only a few western countries such as the U.S. but not Serbia and some EU member states.
