Final decision on former members Ovk in the Special Court in The Hague was postponed until July 20, 2026.
The information about the postponement of the sentencing was confirmed for RTK by a lawyer Hashim Tachi, Luka Misetic.
"I can confirm that this is correct," said Mišetić in response to the question of whether the media articles about the postponement of the decision to July 20 are correct.
As reported by KoSSev, the final decision in the case of Thaci and others was supposed to be announced on May 19, within the established procedural deadlines.
However, according to the Rules of Procedure of the Special Court, the judicial panel has 90 days to announce the verdict, with the possibility of an additional delay of another 60 days.
So it is expected that the epilogue of one of the most important court processes in The Hague against the former leaders of the KLA will be known on July 20, 2026.
Together with Thaci, Kadri Veselji, Redžep Seljimi and Jakup Krasnići were accused of crimes against Serbs, Roma and "collaborationist" Albanians in more than 40 detention centers in Kosovo and in the north of Albania.
The indictment charges them with persecution on political and ethnic grounds, unlawful deprivation of liberty, torture, murder and forced disappearances, with allegations that crimes were committed against hundreds of people, including Serbs, Roma, Albanians and political opponents of the KLA.
The Prosecution claims that the accused were part of a joint criminal enterprise, the goal of which was to establish and maintain control over the territory of Kosovo by eliminating opponents.
All four pleaded not guilty to any count of the indictment.
