Such a statement has been made at the session held Wednesday at the Constitutional Court in Pristina, during the hearing of the injured Prime Minister Kurti in witness quality.

Hoti is accused of being posted on the social network “Facebook” in December 2019, with “Albin Kurti has two ways to either leave Kosovo or he can be killed”, has committed the criminal offence in carrying out the murder.

Prime Minister Kurti has declared that prior to the critical case, he had never heard of the accused Hoti.

In the question of attorney Hoti's question, recall what Kurt had said in the media during the time the accused Hoti had been detained, there has been opposition from prosecutor Prlincevic.

I don't see what connection media statements are made to the accused's criminal offense, because in the opening address the injured has been declared to have no threat or statements he has given to the media, he has given to the political person in quality, and I don't see what he has to do with the criminal work of the accused who is subject to this procedure, so I propose to the court that the question posed to reject<1>, the prosecutor has declared.

After that, the head of the court, Judge Allton Murseli, has instructed the lawyer Hoti to present indirect questions to the witness, reports “Justice Vow”.

Afterwards, lawyer Hoti has asked Prime Minister Kurti if the same case after the critical case, there has been a threat through social networking status from his defence.

As to the second testimony, the announcement is either in “Facebook” of December 28th of 2019, it is a concrete testimony, or even an original to the defendant's announcement, which is the criminal offence of this” procedure, the prosecutor said.

But this evidence has opposed the defense of the accused Hoti, arguing that the proposed criminal conviction is not evidence.

According to lawyer Hoti, profile in “Facebook” is not a tool whereby one can commit a crime.

“With remarks, because first of all it's not a criminal file. In the release he made today's prosecution of criminal fraud, expanded more than with his own indictment, I also have a note that when I quote that “that information received from the criminal prosecution is a criminal offense” and I've noted on the proposed test, each of us has a profile in “Facebook” and I don't believe that this profile has committed a criminal offense and I don't think this is a tool by which criminal work is committed”, the lawyer said.

In this regard, the court has made the decision it has refused as evidence to administer the accused's criminal consignment, while it has been administered as an additional test of the profile of the accused Hoti in “Facebook”
