The Basic Court in Pristina, operating under its Special Department, has sentenced Kadri Xhemajli to six months of effective imprisonment. The sentencing followed Xhemajli’s guilty plea concerning the assassination of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti. The Special Prosecutor’s Office had accused Xhemajli of inciting the deprivation of life against Kurti based on a comment that was published on the Facebook social network on October 22, 2025.
This legal action was brought before the special court proceedings. Prior to the final verdict, the court reviewed a plea agreement reached between the Special Prosecutor’s Office and the accused. Under the terms of this agreement, a recommendation was submitted suggesting that Xhemajli receive one year of suspended imprisonment coupled with a three-year probationary period.
However, the presiding court did not adopt the recommended severity of the sentence. Instead, the court issued a definitive sentence of six months of effective imprisonment for Xhemajli. The proceedings underscore the involvement of the specialized judicial body in handling high-profile cases.
The ruling by the court establishes a clear legal consequence for the actions detailed by the prosecution. This decision marks a significant development in the ongoing legal matters involving Xhemajli and the alleged threat against the Prime Minister. The details of the judgment were formally announced by the court following the conclusion of the sentencing phase.
