Baton Haxhiu Biography
Baton Haxhiu (born 11 April 1968) is an ethnic Albanian journalist from Drenicë, Kosovo.
He majored in sociology at a university in Podujeva, but his studies were interrupted when the government closed the university in 1991; he then continued studying with the city’s underground academic movement. He worked as a section editor for Koha, a weekly Albanian-language magazine. He later became editor-in-chief of Koha Ditore, a Prishtina daily newspaper. According to the UK newspaper The Independent, under Haxhiu’s management, Koha Ditore became “the leading Albanian-language source of information and of critical comment in Kosovo”.
By October 1999, Haxhiu returned to Kosovo. In that month, the government of Kosovo Liberation Army leader Hashim Thaçi accused Haxhiu and publisher Veton Surroi were accused of being “pro-Serb vampires” coordinating with Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević, stating: “people like them . . . should themselves realize that, one day, they too may be the targets of some personal vendetta, which is quite understandable. Therefore, both Veton Surroi and Baton Haxhiu, these ordinary Mafiosi, should not be left unpunished for their criminal acts.” Despite the threat, the paper continued to publish.
In March 1999, shortly before the NATO bombing of Serbia began, Haxhiu and Koha Ditore were fined under Yugoslav Information Law for their reporting. On March 23, the front page of Koha Ditore carried the headline “Nato, Just Do It”, quoting the slogan of Nike shoes along with the Nike Swoosh.
Haxhiu later became the editor of the Kosovo Express. In July 2008, during the war crimes trial of Ramush Haradinaj, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia found Haxhiu guilty of contempt of court for revealing the name of a protected witness in a newspaper article, and fined him US$10,000. Haxhiu appealed the verdict in September, but judges ruled that he had appealed outside the permitted window.
