Witness fails to appear, trial postponed in Thaçi et al. case
The 126th witness of the Specialist Prosecutor's Office in the case against Thaçi and others in The Hague did not appear in court on Tuesday, April 1.
He was unable to go to The Hague today.
At Tuesday's hearing, the trial panel announced that it was witness code 4747 who was scheduled to testify today.
At the hearing, it was stated that the SPO requested that the written statement of this witness be admitted into evidence, pursuant to Rule 155.
The trial then moved to a private session.
Rule 155 allows judges to accept a written statement from a witness without appearing in the courtroom.
Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi have entered their fifth year in detention on war crimes charges. Their trial began in April 2023.
A legal process is underway against them, which is currently in the final stage of presenting evidence by the SPO.
The prosecution's case is expected to be closed this month.
Thaçi and the others have pleaded not guilty to all counts of the indictment./KosovaPress
