The government of Kosovo has set aside over €1.5 million for legal aid to persons that could be indicted by specialist chamber. The funds were allocated in accordance to a legislation stipulating that persons indicted by the court could seek assistance in covering their legal fees. Analyst Imer Mushkolaj considers funding of legal assistance for special court indictees to be unacceptable. He said the indictees should not be paying their defence counsels from the Kosovo taxpayers’ money. At the same time, Ehat Miftaraj from the Kosovo Institute of Justice said the government’s move could have a positive impact on the defendants and their families but added that the use of the fund would have to be transparent.
