The trial concerning the espionage allegations with Lajme Gazeta Express progressed today. A subsequent hearing is scheduled for the defendant, Jelena Gjukanoviq, within the Basic Court in Pristina. The session commences at 09:00.
Jelena Gjukanoviq, a Serb and an employee of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), was detained on February 28, 2025, at the Jarinja border crossing in northern Kosovo. She has remained in custody since her arrest. Investigations suggest that gjukanoviq is implicated in espionage activities alongside another person, who is also being scrutinized.
The case hinges on suspicion of collaboration with the Agency. Espionage is classified as a grave offense under the Kosovo Criminal Code. Should she be found guilty, the potential penalty is a minimum of five years of imprisonment.
The ongoing proceedings aim to determine the veracity of these serious accusations against gjukanoviq.
