Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:17 GMT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Kosovo’s former president pleaded not guilty Monday to charges including murder, torture and persecution as he went on trial with three other former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, while a prosecutor insisted that “nobody is above the law.”Hashim Thaci resigned from office in 2020 to defend himself against the charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during his country’s 1998-99 war for independence from Serbia.“I am fully not guilty,” Thaci told judges at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers as the trial opened. The other three defendants also repeated not guilty pleas made at earlier pretrial hearings.The case has stirred an outpouring of support from across the political spectrum in Kosovo.

Ex-DeSantis staffer Parkinson runs for Kaine’s Virginia seat

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 11:30:17 GMT

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Scott Parkinson, a former congressional staffer and advisor to Ron DeSantis and other Republican officials, is set to announce plans Monday to seek the GOP nomination to challenge Democratic U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia next year. Parkinson, who works for the conservative economic policy group Club for Growth, told The Associated Press ahead of a formal announcement that frustration over pandemic-related school and business closures “changed his worldview” and pushed him to seek public office for the first time. Kaine, a fixture in Virginia politics known for his down-to-earth approach, is vulnerable because of his votes for key pieces of President Joe Biden’s agenda that have contributed to inflation now crushing the middle class, Parkinson said. “I think that there’s this perception that he’s a nice guy,” Parkinson said. “He plays the banjo and the harmonica, and they don’t peel back the layers of the onion to see exactly how we got to where we ...
