The Office of the Specialized Prosecutor (SPO) announced on Friday that it will not rely on the statements of the 12 witnesses in the case against Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selim and Jakup Krasniqi.
He made this announcement through a prescription as it was announced in one of the conferences on the progress of the case in this case, adding that the statement of eight other witnesses will be submitted in writing instead of testimony in court.
There have been other cases when the ZPS has shown that it will not rely on the testimony of some witnesses and has submitted many others in writing.
