Live update

In its latest detention review decision of 10 June 2026, the Trial Panel in the case against Thaçi, Veseli, Selimi and Krasniqi ordered the continued detention of Hashim Thaçi. The Panel found that the risks that the accused may obstruct the progress of the proceedings or commit further offences continue to exist.

On 9 June 2026, Pjetër Shala filed a public redacted version of his Referral to the Constitutional Court, alleging violations of his fundamental rights following the Supreme Court decision of 9 March 2026.

As previously announced, on 25 March 2026, the President of the KSC assigned a Constitutional Court Panel. The Panel subsequently extended the deadline for filing the Referral until 1 June 2026, when it was submitted confidentially. On 5 June 2026, the Panel ordered the Defence to file a public redacted version by 9 June 2026.

The transcript of the KSC Weekly Press Briefing on 04/06/2026 is now available.

In the detention review decision of 2 June 2026, the Single Trial Judge in the administration of justice case against Thaçi et al. ordered the continued detention of Hashim Thaçi. Judge Gosnell found that a real risk remains that the accused, if released, may obstruct the progress of the proceedings and commit further offences.
This is the 9th such decision in this case; all detention review decisions are available in the Public Court Records.

On 28 May 2026, the Court of Appeals Panel denied Rexhep Selimi’s appeal against the 25th decision ordering his continued detention, issued by the Trial Panel on 16 March 2026.
As the appeal itself remains confidential, the Court of Appeals Panel directed the Defence to file a public redacted version within ten days of notification of the present decision.
