Milan Radoiçiq and 19 others face war crimes trial in Kosovo
The Basic Court in Prishtina has scheduled an initial hearing for December 21, 2026, regarding war crimes charges against Milan Radoiçiq and 19 other defendants. The group is accused of the killing of 107 civilians in Gjakova during the war.
The Special Prosecution of the Republic of Kosovo filed the indictment on August 6, 2026. Because the defendants have been unreachable, the court has announced that the trial will be conducted in absentia. The list of accused individuals includes Milovan Kovaçevic, Radomir Çoliq, and Milosh Doshan.
The court has issued a formal call for all defendants to surrender to law enforcement. Additionally, authorities have appealed to citizens to report any information regarding the location of the accused to the Kosovo Police to assist in their arrest.
