The trial in absentia of Adnan Jashari, accused of the aggravated murder of his ex-wife, Diana Kastrati, has been postponed until December 23 after his defense attorney requested additional time to obtain and review the case files.

During the hearing, defense attorney Haxhi Millaku said he had been authorized to represent Jashari in 2011 but had never received access to the case documentation.

He requested that the proceedings be suspended until he was provided with the complete file.

"From what I heard in the media, when there is a trial, anything can be called justice, but not justice," Millaku said, criticizing the handling of his request for access to the documents.

Prosecutor Fatmire Cacaj, however, said the case files had been submitted in April this year to Ardita Berisha, who had previously been appointed as Jashari's defense attorney.

"Regarding the case files, they have been submitted since April of this year to lawyer Ardita Berisha, who was appointed to represent the accused. Since then, the lawyer has had the opportunity to review the documentation," Cacaj said.

After hearing both parties, Judge Sulltane Hoti approved the defense's request and ordered the prosecution to provide the case files to Millaku.

The next hearing was scheduled for December 23 at 09:00.

The Basic Prosecution Office in Pristina filed an indictment against Jashari on October 22, 2026, charging him with aggravated murder. The proceedings are being conducted in absentia.

Diana Kastrati, 27, was killed on May 18, 2011, in Pristina, while on her way to college. She was shot with a firearm.

Her murder sparked widespread public outrage, particularly because she had previously sought an emergency protection order from the institutions, but the requested protection was not provided in time.
