Trial hearings resume against former KLA leaders

Former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders will again appear today (Monday) before the court at the Special Court, where the trial process will continue against them. The hearings return after a three-week break of Kosovo's Specialised Chambers in The Hague.

Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi will hear the next witness against them, whom the Specialised Prosecutor's Office brings, which charges them with alleged war crimes.

This will be the 16th consecutive witness, while it is still unknown whether to testify under security protection or with hidden identity.

So far, in this trial, all witnesses have been heard in private hearings, in addition to the testimony of former Llap Operative Zone Commander Rrustem Mustafa, and the testimony of a British officer.

The trial of Thaci and others has started on April 3rd with the opening statements, where everyone has been declared innocent of charges of alleged war crimes.

While at the detention centre in The Hague since November 2020.
