On 28 March 2024, Trial Panel I set the agenda for the closing statements in the case of Pjetër Shala, scheduled to take place from 15 until 18 April 2024.

The agenda, which may be subject to changes decided by the Panel during the hearing, schedules the SPO's statement for 15 and 16 April, followed by the Victims’ counsel (16 April) and the Defence (16 and 17 April). The parties' subsequent responses, comments, questions from the Panel and submissions on reparations should take place on 17 and 18 April. The last day will end with the accused's statement.

Please note that there will be no hearing on 19 April, as originally planned for the closing statements and unless ordered otherwise by the Trial Panel.

This morning, the SPO called its 54th witness. This is a protected witness with the pseudonym W04739, whose testimony will be entirely in closed session, as ordered by the panel for the protection of the witness.
