The Basic Court in Pristina has set a date for a review session concerning the ongoing legal proceedings against Grujica Veljoviq, who faces accusations of war crimes. The court’s announcement specifies that the trial will proceed without the defendant’s participation, due to his continued unavailability to the judicial system. Communication released to the media details the scheduling of review hearings for the criminal case, PS.nr.109/24, handled by the Special Department of the Basic Court.
This case stems from an indictment issued by the Special Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Kosovo against Veljoviq. He is charged with offenses against the civilian population, specifically under Article 142 of the Penal Code of the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. This offense, now classified as crimes against humanity under the current legal framework, relates to the alleged war crimes.
The court intends to continue the trial process, recognizing the defendant’s inability to attend. The proceedings are a significant step in the investigation surrounding these serious allegations.
