The trial against former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders (UÇK), Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselin, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi at the Special Court in The Hague will continue on Wednesday.
This session will begin by 0900.
Ten sessions are scheduled for the month of May.
After more than two years in custody, the trial of former KLA leaders began 3 April with the parties' opening statements.
Thaci, Veselin, Krasniqi and Selimi have been declared innocent of all points of the indictment.
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.
