The deadline for handing over the preliminary file is agreed on by Veselin and Prosecutor's Protection

According to this letter, on March 24, 2021, Kadri Wessel's defense has submitted its preliminary request regarding the time of the prosecution's preliminary file.

The document says that after bringing Wessel's defense to the attention that he was put to the request by the judge of the preliminary procedure almost two weeks ago on March 12th 2021, Wessel's defense envisioned its request that the SPS be ordered to file preliminary file this time until June 1, 2021, reports BPD.

The ZPS, however, is said to have clearly demonstrated the earliest date on which a preliminary judicial material linked to the 95 (4) rule of law and reasoning for the time being can be obtained.

According to the ZPS, what wessel's defense is actually a complete overthrow of the pretrial process, in the form of a pretrial summary before the lists of witnesses and evidence are completed or relevant materials are discovered.

Not only has such a request conflicted with logic, with proper practice and the applicable framework, but Wessel's protection has provided no basis for such an extraordinary measure. Indeed, as the ZPS previously described, the parameters supporting the requirements were unfounded”, said on this letter.

According to the SPS, this request reflects nothing more than disagreement with the decision of the pre-trial judge on demand, and it is an unsupported attempt to seek its revision, asking again without a pre-trial summary.

On the other hand, it is said that this demand can and should be rejected and that it also fails to merit it.

On November 18th, the first conference on the performance of the issue was held.

Otherwise, on November 9th, in their first appearances, Hashim Thaci's Jakup Krasniqi has been declared innocent of charges placed on them.

Wessel has been declared in his presentation on November 10th, as has Selimi on November 11th.

The incident against Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselin, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi is confirmed on October 26, 2020.

According to the alleged indictment, at least between March 1998 and September 1999, Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Rexhep Selimi, Jakup Krasniqi and other members of the joint criminal enterprise had the common goal of securing and exercising control over all of Kosovo through methods involving intimidation, mistreatment, violence exercise and illegal elimination of those considered opponents.

“Set up these opponents included persons who were, or who were considered to have been: (a) collaborators or forces, officials or state institutions of RFJ, or who (b) otherwise did not support the purposes or methods of the KLA and later QPK, among whom persons linked to the LDK and Serbs, Roma and persons of other nationalities (joinly, non-combatorsors). This common goal included crimes of persecution, imprisonment, arrest and arbitrary or illegal arrest, other inhumane acts, cruel treatment, torture, murder and forced disappearance of persons”, the indictment said.

In addition, Azem Syla, Lahi Brahimaj, Fatmir Limaj, Sylejman Selimi, Rrustem Mustafa, Shukri Buja, Latif Gashi and Sabit Geci are also mentioned.

“Among the other members of the joint criminal enterprise were Azem SYLA, Lahi BRAHIMY, Fatmir LIJAY, Sylejman SELING, Rrustem MUSTAFA, Shukri BUJA, Latif GASI and Sabit G ECI, as well as some other political and military leaders of the KLA and the KPK, including other members of the General Staff; ministers and deputy ministers of the QPK; commanders of KLA and QPK areas, deputy commanders of the area and other members of the command headquarters; commanders of brigades and units; commanders of police and intelligence services of the KLA and QPK; other KLA soldiers and other QP officials, as well as others acting in the name of the QKK and the QKK (KC) -- in the joint operation of the QKK (K) along with the CKK (K) HACH IN, Kadri V ESELIN, Rexhep SELEM and Jakup KRASNYYNY, jointly, NKP members. All these individuals, with their actions and inactions, contributed to the achievement of common purpose. As an alternative, some or all of these individuals were not members of the joint criminal enterprise, but were used by members of the joint criminal enterprise to commit crimes for the realisation of the common goal (with members of the NKP, jointly members and NKP instruments)”, the accusation says.
