It has been claimed through publications on portals and social media that the former Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade (MINT), Rozeta Hajdari, has been acquitted of charges for alleged misuse of state reserves.
"Rozeta Hajdari is acquitted of the charges", is the title of an article dated February 12, 2026, published on the website "prointegra.ch". After verification, it was noted that the content was previously published by the page "Self-Determination Movement – Obersee St.Gallen – Ch” on Facebook, February 11.
The truth?
The trial against Rozeta Hajdari and three other people has already begun and there is no official announcement that there has been a final decision, either acquittal or conviction.
Claims:
In the articles being discussed, a "full analysis" has been provided on the case known as "state reserves".
Head of the article:
“It has now been announced that the Supreme Court of Kosovo has upheld previous decisions and acquitted the acting Minister of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade, Rozeta Hajdari, in the case known as “state reserves”. This decision marks a key moment in a legal process that has lasted several months and involved great political tensions.”
In "the expanded overview of the issue as reported so far", the article continued by explaining how this case began, then how the first hearing of the case was held, what were the positions of the defense and the Special Prosecution, and finally "decision of the Supreme Court of Kosovo".
What is said at this point?
According to the claim, the Supreme Court has granted the defense the right and rejected the claims against Hajdari, acquitting him of the charges.
The facts:
On November 11, 2025, the Special Prosecution Office submitted to the Basic Court in Pristina the indictment for the criminal offense of “abuse of official position or authority”. In addition to Hajdari as minister at the time, IL and HG were also accused under suspicion of “abuse of official position or authority” and “disclosure of official secrets”. Meanwhile, RM was accused under suspicion of committing the criminal offense of “assistance in the commission of the criminal offense of abuse of official position or authority” (see here).
On January 13, 2026, the Basic Court in Pristina held the initial hearing against the defendants behind closed doors. It was held behind closed doors with the justification of preserving classified information.
So the legal process has already begun (see here).
So far, there has been no final decision, either convicting or acquitting the defendants in the case in question. Apart from the lack of notice on the website of the Basic Court of Pristina, this is confirmed if you search on "Google" with the words "Rozeta Hajdari is sentenced” or “Rozeta Hajdari is released". None of the searches lead to credible articles or announcements by authorities about a decision regarding the issue known as "state reserves."
Connection with the Supreme
Image posted by "Self-Determination Movement – Obersee St.Gallen – Ch" on Facebook also contains the sentence "Supreme Court rejects Special Prosecution's request, there is no evidence of misuse in state reserves." The article is accompanied by a photograph of Rozeta Hajdari.
Search in "Google” with this sentence leads to several articles from October 2024.
The Supreme Court reportedly dismissed the Special Prosecution's appeal against the Court of Appeal's decision to terminate the detention of the three suspects (RM, HG and IL) in order to allow them to defend themselves at liberty. The appeal reportedly found that the Basic Court in Pristina had failed to establish a reasonable suspicion that the three suspects had committed the criminal offences they are suspected of, which is a primary condition for the legality of detention (see here).
So the decision relates to the other three defendants as to whether or not they should have been held in custody, and has nothing to do with a final decision on the charges against Hajdari.
The Supreme Court's decision on the appeal to the Court of Appeal is also explained according to Law on Courts in Kosovo, which indicates that the court system consists of: Basic Courts (first instance), Court of Appeals (second instance) and Supreme Court (third instance).
Even now, if there is a decision from the Basic Court, it can be appealed by any party to the Appeals Court, and the Appeals Court's decision can be appealed to the Supreme Court. So, in order to get to the time when the Supreme Court decides on the case, there must be preliminary decisions.
But none of this has been reported to have happened.
Hajdari has consistently denied the allegations (see here).
In 2023, three people were arrested regarding the state reserves case. The Ministry of Industry, Entrepreneurship and Trade was raided after the publication of audio recordings by the Nacionale portal, which claimed that a quantity of oil, purchased in Poland, and a quantity of wheat, purchased in Turkey, had never arrived.
According to the indictment notice from the Special Prosecution, the damage caused to the budget is 2.9 million euros.
Analyze:
The claim that former Minister Rozeta Hajdari has been acquitted of charges in the "state reserves" case is false.
The legal process is still ongoing at the Basic Court in Pristina and there is no final decision.
The previous Supreme Court decision related only to the detention order for three suspects, not to Hajdari's guilt or innocence.
