Astrit Haraqija

Before travelling to The Hague, the former Minister of Culture paid tribute at President Rugova’s grave, saying that he would not need a lawyer because his lawyer is Astrit himself and his angel Ibrahim Rugova will protect him.

Haraqija together with Bota Sot editor, Bajrush Morina, who was his advisor, are accused by the ICTY of contempt of court during the process of Haradinaj and the others. The first hearing begins today at 14:15 in The Hague.
