Specialised Chambers in The Hague Accept Victims Status Only Five

A number of 19 people completed this application form modelled by Secillated Chambers with Seli in The Hague.

That is because they claimed they personally suffered damage as a direct result of a crime listed in the indictment against the KLA's four-year-old.

But in the report that has been handed over to the judges of the Special Chambers, only five persons reportedly offered evidence, proving they may have been victims.

One of the cases that has failed to offer evidence is the 1206 victim, claiming that he was indirectly the victim of his brother's murder on Kosovo's territory within the prosecution period.

The victim claims that he and the entire family have suffered mental damage as a result. But the same one presented no support documentation for the damage.

Even the front-runner 13/06 of Serbian affiliation claims he was the indirect victim of his father's kidnapping and forced disappearance from the KLA in Kosovo's territory within the prosecution period.

The complainer claims to have suffered mentally and also suffered material damage. But neither has this presented any weapons support documentation.

However, Special Chambers say the Judge is the one to decide whether to accept or reject the requests in question.

Lawyer Artan Cerkini has clarified that when a person receives the victim's status.

Cherkin says that a person who has the status of the victim can also be a witness.

Thaci, Veselin, Krasniqi and Selimi are accused of a series of crimes allegedly committed between March 1998 and September 1999.
