Reversal: KSC delays verdict to September 16

The Kosovo Specialist Chambers moved the verdict reading for Hashim Thaci, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi to 16 September, replacing the 20 July date. The trial panel said it needed more time because of the case’s complexity and the volume of material to be weighed, and added that the court’s recess did not affect the scheduling.

The panel’s tally: testimony from 270 witnesses, 5,467 admitted exhibits, and a transcript running 29,238 pages, with a written judgment to reflect that record. Some defense lawyers called the delay unreasonable and urged a review of the men’s detention while they wait.
