A public redacted version of a decision reviewing the detention conditions of Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli and Rexhep Selimi was filed on 17 April 2026.
The decision, originally issued confidentially on 4 July 2025, follows requests by the Defence for Rexhep Selimi and Kadri Veseli to amend the detention conditions, which were initially modified by the Trial Panel in December 2023. The Panel granted the requests in part, removing certain previously imposed measures, in particular in relation to aspects of non-privileged in-person visits and video and telephone communications, including those with close relatives, while maintaining the remaining measures as necessary and proportionate.

In a separate decision issued on 19 March 2026 and also made public on 17 April 2026, the Trial Panel rejected a request by the Selimi Defence to rescind the remaining contact restrictions in respect of Rexhep Selimi. The Panel found that these measures continue to be necessary and proportionate, while allowing for limited adjustments in their implementation, including an increase in the number of authorised non-privileged in-person visits and additional opportunities for video and private visits.
