​Trial against former KLA leaders goes on at the Hague

PRISHTINA, May 9/ATA/ The former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi will appear before the court again on Wednesday.

The trial against them will continue with the hearing of the coming witness from the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office.

So far, three witnesses have been heard. They testified under protective measures, and in sessions almost entirely closed to the public.

Ten sessions are planned for the month of May.

Days ago, the Panel of the Court of Appeal rejected the appeals of 20 people to participate in this process as victims.

The trial against the former leaders of the KLA started on April 3 with the opening statements of the parties.

Before the jury, Thaçi, Veseli, Selimi and Krasniqi pleaded not guilty to the charges of alleged war crimes.

They are in the detention center in The Hague since November 2020. /KosovaPress/p.s./
