Lawyer Hodaj: Turkey could be one of the states it guaranteed for Thaci

Lawyer Taulant Hodaj has said that on the basis of data from the tribunal for states that have emerged guarantors for former President Hashim Thaci's provisional release is one of the five who have contributed to the Special Court.

Therefore, he assumes it could be Turkey that has come out of competition for Thaci.

Every two months it's up to the detainees to ask for temporary release to be protected in freedom. But this was not approved last time since one of the judges said that if there were concrete guarantees from the relevant state, it would have to be considered this request of Thaci for release.

Now, in the new request, in those documents that were made public by the tribunal, Thaci has given two concrete guarantees from two different states. Of course the states are not blank, but they are official confirmations that are two states. We can speculate based on information that is public with the Special Court. One state says it's a contributing state in court and the contributing states in court are five: Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey and the US. So one of these countries is the guarantor and in my opinion is the state of Turkey. I'm assuming, according to them. Another state appears to be Albania or Slovenia”.

He at Info Magazine has explained even more about the further trial procedure of former KLA leaders.

“In the ruling given by the pre-procedure judge gives the prosecutor instructions on how to do it. So, it doesn't mean that the indictment has been filed, but that it has gone into correction and especially for Kadri Wessel because the court has not approved the prosecution for a certain period of time, and I believe it will be easier to remove part of the prosecution dealing with a certain time that the court has no jurisdiction. But these improvements are determined in the court's decision today, and in this decision it clearly hints how to improve the indictment even in terms of the time jurisdiction”
