The 126th witness of the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office in the case against Thaci and others in The Hague did not appear in court on Tuesday, April 1.

He was unable to travel to The Hague today. During Tuesday’s hearing, the judicial panel announced that it was witness code 4747 who was scheduled to testify today. It was stated in the hearing that the SPO had requested that the written statement of this witness be accepted as evidence, according to Rule 155. The trial then proceeded to a private session. Rule 155 allows judges to accept a written statement from a witness without their physical presence in the courtroom.

They are currently undergoing a judicial process that is in the final phase of the presentation of evidence by the SPO. The prosecution's case is expected to conclude this month. Thaci and the others have pleaded not guilty to all points of the indictment. /KosovaPress
