The Special Court is expected to postpone the preliminary hearing for the case against Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj and 29 other defendants, due to the lawyers' engagement in other legal proceedings.
Businessman Elman Abule's lawyer has filed a request for a postponement, as she is engaged in a hearing before the Special Appeals Chamber.
The hearing is expected to be opened by Judge Etleva Deda only to decide on the postponement of the process and setting a new date.
Veliaj and his wife are accused of serious criminal offenses, including corruption, money laundering, and concealment of assets.
