Court of Hague held Thursday afternoon the hearing session for the
retrial of former Kosovo Deputy Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj.

The Prosecution and the defense agreed for the sessions to be held every two weeks, due to the fact that the judges are also engaged with other processes.

In this session it was decided that the retrial will start in 17 August, but the Court was unable to say how long would it take.

The judge asked the defense to present until June 16th the witness list that it opposes, and ordered the prosecution to take its decision until June 27th regarding the request of the defense.

Since last July, the head of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo is waiting in Hague the retrial for war crimes, after the judges decided that in the former trial there were some key witnesses left out.
