The Special Court has not yet announced the verdict on the proposed special Prosecution of President Hashim Thaci and former President Kadri Wessel.
Therefore, a number of scenarios have begun to be discussed that could result in whether the indictment is confirmed or not.
A confirmed indictment will later be made public in the initial appearance of the accused before the court”, has said of the clankosova.tv, spokesperson for Specialised Chambers Michael Doyle.
However, he points out that even if the Special Court rejects these charges against Thaci and Wessel, it does not prevent the specialised prosecutor from launching new procedures.
According to the Procedure and Evidence Adjust, the judge of the preliminary procedure can confirm or dismiss or partially dismiss the charges involved in an indictment”.
“Law and Procedure Rules predict that nonconfirmation of any charges within an indictment prevent the Special Prosecutor from then presenting a changed indictment, or involving the same charge in an indictment supported by the new provative material”, has stated Doyle.
Lawyer Arian Koci for the clankosova.tv considers it not fair to have another indictment until now these claims have been investigated five times.
Any time there is new evidence, a new indictment can arise. But how real it is to have new evidence when we know that cases of alleged war crimes were investigated and tried by The Hague Tributal, UNMIK, EULEX, local courts, and now Specialised Chambers?
So, five times now are becoming the investigation of alleged war crimes that have allegedly committed several former KLA members”.
While the Doyle in response to Klan Kosovo cites opportunities for new charges, these days before the door of the KLA War Veterans Organisation office in Pristina suddenly thousands of “secret documenting”.
Lawyer Koci values this event unacceptable, contextising it with the attitudes of followers who said our country is powerless to create such a court.
“The 4,000 file incident is unacceptable and suits supporters of the idea that the Special Court had to be done outside Kosovo, because in us, they say, it is constantly interfering with justice and witnesses have been threatened by”.
Now all of Kosovo pays the bill. Moreover, with this move, the suspects themselves have largely been injured. Anyway, we don't know if they're authentic” files.
He adds that investigators must find the masked person who brought the files and investigate what his purpose was.
Meanwhile, in this regard, Kosovo's Special Prosecutorship suggests that the Office of Prosecutor Specialised in The Hague is investigating the case of sending 4,000 documents to the office of the KLA Veterans Organisation.
“Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo (PSRK) has accepted numerous media questions about the investigation into the submission of documents to the KLA Veterans Organisation, which documents are potentially connected with The Hague's Specialised Prosecutor's Office. Currently, The Hague's Specialised Prosecutor's Office is investigating the matter”.
Since decisions on cases of alleged crimes in Kosovo's war are still under procedure, Doyle has commented on the mandate of Specialised Chambers.
The “is envisioned in the law adopted by the Parliament of Kosovo that the mandate of Kosovo's Specialised Chambers to continue until the European Union Council announces to Kosovo that investigations are complete and that any procedure by the Specialised Chambers has ended”.
He has not wanted to talk about several occasional trends in the break-up of the Special Court, but has added that the life expectancy of this international justice institution alone decides the European Union Council.
