Citizens from the diaspora have begun to flock to the Specialized Chambers to participate in today's session where the defense team of former President Hashim Thaçi will begin its closing statement.
Meanwhile, about an hour ago, Thaviq's lawyer, Lluka Mishetiq, arrived there.
On the third day of the final phase of the largest trial in The Hague, as announced by Misetic, he will begin delivering his closing statement at 9 am.
The Specialized Prosecutor's Office concluded its closing arguments yesterday, followed by the victims' advocate.
The SPO has said that it has received, as it claims, over five thousand pieces of material evidence and has interviewed over 130 witnesses.
Chief Specialized Prosecutor Kimberly West has requested a prison sentence of 45 years for the KLA four, which amounts to a total of 180 years in prison.
Also, yesterday, the prosecution claimed that former President Hashim Thaçi "has lied to internationals several times", citing the testimonies of James Rubin and Wesley Clark.
Leaders of the country and the region have reacted to the request of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for a sentence of 45 years in prison, saying that this is not based on any international standards and that the Kosovo Liberation Army fought a just war. /Kp/Telegraph/
