In Kosovo's Specialised Chambers in The Hague, judgment today will continue against former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders.
At the dock of the accused are former President Hashim Thaci, former Speaker of the Assembly Kadri Veselini, former Parliament Speaker Jakup Krasniqi, as well as former delegation Rexhep Selimi.
The hearing is expected to begin at 09 a.m.
Thaci, Veselin, Krasniqi and Selimi are being charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.
According to the indictment, the crimes presented in it were committed at least from March 1998 to September 1999 at several locations in Kosovo, as well as in Kukes and Chahan, in northern Albania. These crimes were allegedly committed by KLA members against hundreds of civilians and persons who did not participate in the fighting.
The indictment claims that Thaci, Veselin, Selimi and Krasniqi have individual criminal responsibility for crimes committed in the context of an uninternational armed conflict in Kosovo and were part of a widespread and systematic attack on persons suspected of opposing KLA.
