The Constitutional Court in Pristina, the Special Department has ruled on the request of the Special Prosecutor of the Republic of Kosovo, the appointment of detention in the criminal case against the G.T. defendants, R.K., S.T., N.T. and P.T., because of the criminal war crimes work against the civilian population by Article 142 and 22 of the RSJ Criminal Code, and at 31st and 153 KPRCK, against Article 3 and 4th Geneva Convention, 4 Protocols and 5 Protocols and 2S, placing Kosovo Special Prosecutors's requests.
The preliminary procedure judge has approved the Special Prosecutor's request of the Republic of Kosovo for the appointment of the detention measure against indictees G.T., R.K., S.T. and P.T, so the same ones were assigned detention measures in length of 1 (a) a month each, while P's request was denied The SRK divides the N.T. defendants, since there is no evidence that the same one committed the criminal war crimes against the civilian population.
