On 23 April 2025, the Trial Panel in the Thaҫi et al. case decided on a request from an individual seeking to withdraw their status as a victim participating in the proceedings, citing safety concerns. After observing that the request was properly signed and that nothing indicated it was not made voluntarily and with full awareness, the Panel granted the request, thereby terminating this individual's status as a participating victim in the case.

Earlier, on 14 April, the Victims’ Counsel informed the Panel of the passing of another victim in the case. Consequently, the current total of participating victims in this case stands at 152.

More information about the victims' participation in this case can be found on the case page and another page on our website specifically for participating victims in all cases.

On 24 April 2025, President Trendafilova assigned a Constitutional Court Panel to rule on the referral, filed by Salih Mustafa on the same day. Judges Vidar Stensland, Roumen Nenkov, and Piotr Hofmański will decide on this referral, which follows the Supreme Court decision from 25 February 2025 (see here our post about that matter).

Following the Pre-Trial Judge's invitation on 14 April, Hashim Thaçi submitted a written plea of not guilty regarding all allegations outlined in the amended confirmed indictment, which includes the additional form of incitement in counts 1 to 3.
