Vetevendosje activists jailed for attacking Parliament likely to face new trial

A source told Gazeta Express that the Court of Appeals will return the case to the point zero, thus dismissing the judgment of the first instance court – Basic Court of Pristina , which jailed the four Vetevendosje activists, including an MP, for a total of 21 years and six months.
