His court-appointed attorney also did not appear before the judges today. 64 Kosovo non-governmental organizations are supporting Kurti and have formed a group for gathering petitions against the trial, which has received 175,000 signatures. Signatures were not only gathered in Kosovo, but in south-central Serbia, as well as in Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro.
