Thaçi does not attend the session due to health reasons, Selimi appears with a collar with state motifs

At the Kosovo Specialist Chambers (KSC) in The Hague, on Tuesday, after the hearing against the former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) began, it went into recess because former President Hashim Thaçi was not present.

As a result, Luka Misetic - his lawyer - said that he was informed by the secretary that Thaci will not come and that he does not know anything else, reports "Oath for Justice".

After that, presiding judge Charles Smith III said he was told he was unwell and needed to see a doctor, but that he was not aware that he would not be attending.

"The only communication was that he was not feeling well and needed to see a doctor," he said.

After that, Misetic was asked to communicate with Thaci to understand whether he would join or give permission for the session to continue without his presence.

Otherwise, in the courtroom, Rexhep Selimi appeared with a blue collar, which bore state motifs in honor of the 17th anniversary of Kosovo's independence, while Jakup Kransniqi and Kadri Veseli wore red collars. /Telegraph/
