The third court hearing against former Kosova Liberation Army (KLA) commanders, Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi will take place Tuesday in The Hague at 11:00.

The accompanying document states that during the hearing the judge will ask the parties about the data collected so far and will review the request of the specialized prosecutor's office, which says that the trial against them begin in September this year in order to give the defense more time to gather the necessary evidence.
