Sokol Dobruna holds the W04264 code in this process and is witnessing through video connection. He is represented by lawyer Arian Koci.
Koci was asked by the court whether there is any issue in which his client can self-indigulate during the testimony.
I'm looking for a few opportunities to talk to my client because I just can't pass operations a little more complex on these issues. So, therefore, I didn't see any indicators that could self-incriminate”, Koci replied.
However, the court said that in case any such appears, Koci should announce. Questions about this witness have begun prosecutor John Capin.
According to the chairman of the court, Charles Smith III, this witness's testimony is expected to last about two days. He said the prosecutor has indicated it takes about an hour for questioning, while defence teams have indicated it takes six hours for counterquestions.
It is noteworthy that all the accused are 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.
