Endrit Nika’s retrial is expected to begin today at 9:30 a.m. at the Basic Court of Pristina.

Nika had previously been found guilty by the court and sentenced to 18 years in prison for the criminal offense of “aggravated murder” of his partner, Maria Clara Urdangaray.

According to the documentary, Maria Clara Urdangaray died at around 4:27 a.m. on August 1, 2023. Her death occurred approximately three hours after she fell from the window of the sixth floor of the “Sonoma” hotel in Fushë Kosovë, where she was staying with her boyfriend, Endrit Nika.

The prosecution claims that, during the blows and pushes, the victim ended up in the corner of the room with no possibility of escape, after which the window frame came loose and she fell outside.

Nika has denied touching Maria Clara Urdangaray, presenting a different account of what had happened. The window-frame examination was carried out only a year and a half later, when the hotel owner had replaced it with a new frame with three layers of glass, altering its previous structure.

At the end of August last year, the investigative program “MAT” on Klan Kosova published footage from cameras at the scene for the first time, as well as a number of other details related to the case.

At this assembly, a request is expected to be put forward for the dismissal of LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku.

According to what KosovaPress has learned, the initiative is being led by the mayor of Peja, Gazmend Muhaxheri. KosovaPress sources say that he is visiting party branches across the country and seeking the signatures of delegates.

According to the media outlet’s sources from one of the LDK branches, as well as from delegates who have already given their signatures, the number of signatures collected so far is around 150, while the LDK has a total of 355 delegates.

Meanwhile, the media outlet has learned that Shkëmb Manaj had also visited the same branch, where he was trying to persuade delegates not to give their signatures.

During the day today, the media outlet tried to contact both Manaj and Muhaxheri, but neither of them was reachable and neither had commented by the time this article was published.
