Two other victims accepted in Thaci case, others

According to the DPS report, the decision was made on July 10th and that they would be added to the group 1 of the participating victims, whose number was 152, reports “Justice Vow“.

On July 10, 2024, the Court II issued the latest sentence on the victims' participation in the Thaci case and others. Two other applicant requests were accepted as participating victims in the trial process, which will be added to the existing group of victims in the case (group 1 that counted 152 participating victims) and represented by the same victims' defenders”, the report said.

DPSK reports that the deadline for handing in turnout requirements as victims in the process has expired, but is thus set because there are valid reasons.

“In his decision, the court body stressed that the deadline for submitting requests for the participants' admission of victims to the issue expired on February 15th 2023, but since there is a valid reason, it has decided to accept these requirements even though they were submitted after the set term”, it is now said.
