Thaci failed to prove why the preliminary decision was unreasonable when it comes to the risk related to his possible temporary release.

The indictment against Thaci which was confirmed on October 26, 2020, charges him with war crimes and crimes against humanity, and includes Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi.

They all pleaded not guilty to the charges. They were arrested on November 5, 2020, then transferred to the detention unit in The Hague.
