Verdict Expected in Espionage Case Against Former OSCE Employee
The Basic Court in Pristina is scheduled to deliver a verdict today regarding Jelena Gjukanoviq, a former employee of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), who is charged with espionage. The hearing, anticipated to begin around 13:15, will mark the conclusion of a lengthy legal process. The prosecution is seeking a maximum sentence of 25 years imprisonment, arguing that the case represents a significant matter concerning security within Kosovo.
The indictment, presented by the Special Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Kosovo (PSK) on September 2, 2025, alleges that Gjukanoviq’s actions posed a threat to the country’s constitutional order and state security. Throughout the trial, the defendant’s legal team has vigorously contested the charges, advocating for her release and disputing the prosecution’s assertions. The case centers on activities investigated by the PSK.
The court’s decision will determine the outcome of the proceedings and the fate of the former OSCE employee. Further details regarding the verdict are expected following the hearing.
