“in the following period, the court aims to issue among other decisions below. Of course, a decision specifying the date for the start of the judicial process involving the participating victims in the judicial process and for the protection of the victims, we will try to be as comprehensive as possible as possible with the information needed in this regard.

He criticised differences from the prosecution's side, including the removal of several witnesses in this period of time and the addition of documents.

The court's “Trug is of the opinion that the number of materials the prosecution wants to add is limited and these documents itself are not broadly, the second body takes into account the fact that the ZPS statements say these documents are of provative value, and the court thinks these documents are important to the truth. Third, the information on these materials is on public domain, it's accessible to the public as the defense side has accepted. The court underlines that this is premature if the defense has not made statements on the provative value of these documents. The ZPS has made this request before the trial began, for this reason the court is convinced that the SPS has shown solid reason and has in time made its motion. The court asks the SPS to issue these documents for protection and toʹte is part of their witness list, not later than October 28, 2022”, the head of the panel said.

The judge also indicated that the court wants to see the list of all SPS witnesses whose testimony aims to be used in court.

The court's “Trug requires the SPS to include evidence experts on whose evidence it wants to be supported and to present information on the expertise or qualifications of all experts, and this before Friday 28 October and to complete the whole framework and to be clear on trial and make clear that it wants to see on the witness list all witnesses whose testimony will be used in court by the SPS, regardless of whether they will be called to give evidence or otherwise”, she said.

It also approved the SPS's request to add 85 documents to its 103rd rule announcement.

It asked the victims' defenders to submit the list of individuals who will have dual status of victims and witnesses by October 21st.
