Witnesses for the defence were supposed to be interrogated at the Wednesday hearing but the defence team decided not to question them as it believes that the indictment against their clients has not been proven in the proceedings so far.
Due to the decision of the defence team, the hearing continued concerning only certain technical issues such as psychiatric findings for late witness X, Agim Zogaj, whose statement serves as the basis of the incitement against Ljimaj and other indictees.
Defence attorneys asked that their clients should be released from house arrest.
The next hearing will be held on July 16 when an anthropologist and a pathologist from the EULEX forensic team should issue their opinions after they had performed the excavation of remains after the war.
