KSC President issues a final warning to Nasim Haradinaj re. his media contacts
On 13 June 2024, KSC President Ekaterina Trendafilova issued a final warning to Nasim Haradinaj to abide by all conditions set out in her decision on modification of sentence (“Decision”) issued last December. This warning comes after receiving multiple reports from the KSC Registrar, alerting the President to Haradinaj's contacts or interviews with the media over the past few months, without seeking the necessary approval as mandated in the Decision. Additionally, the President highlighted that Haradinaj had already been reminded earlier this year about the consequences of violating the Decision.
The President explained that, although the Decision could be revoked or modified immediately due to the breaches, she decided to give Haradinaj a final warning and made clear that any further breach would lead to his immediate return to the KSC Detention facilities to serve the remainder of the sentence.
