The Trial Panel found Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi guilty of the criminal offenses specified in the verdict, sentencing them to a total of 81 years in prison.

Hashim Thaçi was sentenced to 25 years in prison, Jakup Krasniqi to 25 years, Kadri Veseli to 18 years, and Rexhep Selimi to 13 years in prison.
The time spent in detention will be counted towards serving the sentence, according to the court's decision.

The verdict was broadcast live in Pristina, where hundreds of citizens gathered in Skanderbeg Square in front of a giant screen set up to broadcast the hearing from The Hague.
