The decision regarding the former leaders of the UÇK in the Special Courts for Kosovo is being met with criticism in Kosovo, with some groups labeling the announcement as unwarranted and a violation of human rights. While the Special Courts have cited the significant volume of witnesses and the inherent complexity of the case as reasons for their procedures, they maintain that this complexity is separate from any court recess period. The panel of judges has reportedly reviewed an extensive amount of documentation, including 29,238 pages of transcripts stemming from the most significant trial conducted within the Special Courts for Kosovo against former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army.
Furthermore, the review encompassed hundreds of other materials held by the judicial body. Following this comprehensive review, the Special Courts have announced that the verdict concerning Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi, and Rexhep Selimi is scheduled for release on September 16 of the current year. The body of judges clarified that their timeline was determined after thoroughly examining the substantial evidence accumulated during the proceedings before the special tribunal.
