Kosovo Lawmakers: Kosovo and Law

kosovo lawmakers: It called on Kosovo politicians and lawmakers to abandon any thought of repealing or re-negotiating any aspect of the law ... because that calls into question Kosovo's commitment to the rule of law, according to Metro News. In December, a group of Kosovo lawmakers tried to amend the law, seeking to extend its jurisdiction over Serbs, their former adversaries in the 1998-1999 war for independence. A statement Thursday from the nations the United States, Britain, France, Germany and Italy said they were deeply concerned by ongoing efforts to undermine the work of the Specialist Chambers. The court now has jurisdiction only over potential war crimes suspects who were Kosovo citizens. We condemn such a move, the nations said. This move puts the interests of certain individuals above the interests of Kosovo society. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
