Kosovo's former president Hashim Thaci expressed sorrow on Tuesday for all victims of the 1998-99 insurgency against Serbian rule but told judges on the second day of his war crimes trial that he expects to be exonerated.
Thaci and three co-defendants face 10 charges of persecution, murder, torture and forced disappearance of people during and shortly after the guerrilla uprising that eventually brought Kosovo independence from Serbia and made him a hero among many compatriots at home and abroad.
