Krasniqi, Selimi lawyers oppose proposal for trial to begin next year

Selimi's lawyer has said prosecution statements are disappointing and absurd, and the same are not taking into account the right of the accused.

I must say that in the prosecution's statements, they are disappointing and absurd. They do not take into account the right of the accused. The deadline set by the prosecution shows this. The prosecution had at least five years, and I arrived in The Hague a week ago. I'm surprised, but I respectfully have to say that the deadlines are absolutely absurd. We must have enough time to conduct deepening investigations and a calendar that should be reasonable”, he said.

Malaysian Jakup Krasniqi lawyer has also rejected the proposal. We don't agree at all with the prosecution's signatures. I'm dacod with the attorneys' signatures, my colleagues. Regarding preparing the issue, we need sufficient time and tools, appropriate and adequate in view of the situation with COVID-19”, he said.
