The Special is keeping the alleged crime victims secret

Over 15 witnesses have testified against former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders.

Their testimony is included in the indictment Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselin, Rexhep Selimin and Jakup Krasniqi, incriminating in war crimes and crimes against humanity.

And the day the indictment was confirmed, the Special Court issued another announcement.

They have opened up the opportunity to appear victims of crimes allegedly committed to former UCK leaders.

Now, when more than two weeks have been made by the arrest of Thaci and others, Special Court information on the victims' case has been requested, as well as the number of requests filed at the tribunal, but the issue is considered very confidential.

Initially, those who claim to be victims of crime must complete this app.

And to get this status, it takes a decision from a Special Chambers Judge.

According to Specialised Chambers, the same can later participate in hearings during trial and contribute to the discovery of truth and learn facts about what happened to them or their families.

They can also point to their suffering so that judges can be fully aware of the impact of crime.

Although the status of the victims differs from that of witnesses, there is no exception for them to testify.

T7 has asked the Specialised Chambers what can benefit victims of alleged crimes.

According to Specialised Chambers, the benefit may be different for each victim, ranging from the desire to hear their voices to the desire to be informed about procedures developments.

But if the accused is found guilty, the victims of crimes may also receive material compensation.

So far, the Specialised Prosecutor's Office has charged five former members of the Kosovo Liberation Army.

While the judge has confirmed the charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity and all, for whom the indictment has been brought.
