Kosovo's Specialised Chambers in The Hague have begun testimony Halil Chadaku, who is represented by lawyer Arian Koci in the trial process against Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselin, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi.

The witness holds code 03873 and is the 107th witness in line in the process.

Lawyer Koci claimed they anticipate that they seek guarantees that what the witness in The Hague says will not be used to prosecute him.

However, according to Chief Judge Charles Smith III, there was no objections on the SPS's part, reports the “Justice Trust”.

The court forces the witness to give a witness. In accordance with 151 paragraph 3, the court provides the witness that the testimony given in response to relevant questions would not be used directly or indirectly to a certain person and would not be used for any other reason than the reasons predicted by the Law”, the chief judge said.

As a result, the chief judge informed the witness that refusing to give a witness could be sanctioned by fine.

Smith III offered the witness an opportunity to testify at a closed hearing that his testimony is not heard for the public.

After a minute consultation with his client, Koci lawyer announced that Chadrac wants to testify at the public hearing.

Koci said that “we want to go to open session” even when asked whether his client knows this session will be conveyed to the entire public.

During his testimony, the witness said he was dubbed “Fatosi” during his war event.

This witness's testimony, according to Chief Judge Charles Smith III, is expected to last about 2-3 days. At this time, the prosecution has indicated it will take four hours for its questions, while defence teams have estimated it will take approximately seven and a half hours for counters.

It is noteworthy that material evidence accepted interviews of the witness given earlier before the authorities of justice along with the accompanying materials.

On November 18th, Wessel's defender had demanded that a portion of the witness's transcript of 04679 who was heard in private hearings and involving witness 03873 be classified as public.

In this regard, the court said it agrees that the relevant parts can be re-republished as the public, giving the order.

And secondly, the chief judge said that Thaci's defence team opposes the authenticity of some documents the prosecution wants to use with witness 03873 to reason that they are biased and their prejudgative effect squanders the results of their provative value.

According to him, the material comes from a book that has information that relates to witness 04583. Z The SP has responded that there is no reason why it should not be accepted. As a result, after all the statements have been examined, the Court has made a decision to derail Thaci's defense opposition.

It is noteworthy that all the accused were present in the courtroom.

Otherwise, the Specialised Prosecutor's Office, on September 30th, 2022, has handed over the confirmed amended indictment against Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi, which consists of ten points of charges, where the latter are charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity.

On April 29th 2022, the Specialised Prosecutor's Office had handed over a amended indictment to Hashim Thaci, Kadri Wessel, Rexhepi and Jakup Krasniqi, where four indictees have committed war crimes even in Gjilan, Budakov and Semtish.

On November 9th 2020, in their first appearances, Hashim Thaci's Jakup Krasniqi has been declared innocent of the charges placed on them. Wessel has also been declared in his presentation on November 10th, as has Rexhep Selimi on November 11th.

The Act on Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veselini, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi is confirmed on October 26, 2020
