Hearing against the Russian citizen, Svetlana Timofoeva, has been postponed again this Friday for procedural reasons, and the next hearing is expected to be held on March 17.

Field sources have confirmed that the Russian citizen requests that the request for her extradition be made in Russian. Timofeeva was arrested in August last year along with two other people, on charges of espionage.

Two Russians Mikhail Zorin, 23, Svetlana Timofeeva, 33, and 25-year-old Ukrainian Fyodor Mihailovic, were photographing the premises at the Weapons Plant.

As they tried to get inside, they were spotted by Albanian soldiers who signaled them to stop. They did not obey the orders of the Albanian soldiers while one of them attacked them with a chemical spray.

All three were arrested while also being investigated as spies for the Russian secret service.

2 drones, 4 mobile phones, 1 laptop, 1 camera, memory cards, 3 passports, 2 cameras, maps were found in the car with Ukrainian license plates that was being used by them during their stay in Albania.
