Thaçi et al.: trial schedule partially modified

On 2 July 2025, Trial Panel II partially granted a joint request by the Defence to vary the revised trial schedule issued on 5 June. The Panel approved a short postponement of the Defence Preparation Conference to 19 August 2025 but rejected the request to extend the deadline for submitting Defence witness and exhibit lists. The Panel reiterated that the Defence should notify the Panel by 16 July 2025 whether it intends to present a case, and informed the parties that the first Defence case should be ready to begin one week after the Defence Preparation Conference.

The Panel also scheduled a status conference for Tuesday, 22 July 2025, at 14:00.
