However, another marathon trial is expected to begin by March.

The former KLA leaders, Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselin, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi, are expected to have a strong and long confrontation with Special Chambers Court prosecutors.

Therefore, the licensed lawyer in this court, Artan Qerkeyni, says that although there are 46 thousand pages of document and more than 40 witnesses, the trial is likely to begin more quickly.

“in this direction, the court has just issued a draft of procedures and has enabled defence”.

At the Kosovo Institute for Justice, they say that the most distant in April, it is expected to start with the opening statements. Meanwhile, in next year's summer, according to Ehat Miftaright, judgment on Thaci and others is expected to begin.

The subx0> will be a marathon trial with the fact that we have hundreds of invited prosecution witnesses, and of course we will have a defence witness and that any witness to be taken can last two years or more”, Miftaraj says.

Meanwhile, at the KLA War Veterans Organisation, they have declared that they do not expect rapid and transparent processes, calling the Sepcial Court a political court.

The process will be the same as the duration of procedures, not the equal among the parties which, even in previous processes, the prosecution has delayed the documents ... we do not expect regular process”, says Faton Klinkaku, U.D. of OVL-KLA chairman.
