Despite many statements about the start of Special Court indictments in June of this year, it appears that this will happen six months later.

Statement of one of the judges of this Court hinted that the initial indictments cannot be raised before December.

Charles L. Smith said for the local daily “Nonpareil” that he “will not be traveling for Hague before the end of the year, because this is how much time would be required for the indictments to be concluded by the prosecutor.”

This detail might have been a slip of the tongue, but it is important that it leaves it to be understood that the first indictments by the Prosecutor of the Special Court are expected to be issued by the end of the year.

He said that the entire process of the trial of the war crimes in Kosovo could last approximately four years.
