Kosova’s Assembly is expected to vote again on the law governing the Specialist Chambers in The Hague. The vote concerns the same text approved on October 6 and returned for reconsideration by President Justina Shiroka Pula on October 22. If at least 61 lawmakers vote in favour, the assembly will override the president’s veto and approve the law.
The proposal came from acting leader of the Democratic Party of Kosova (PDK), Vlora Çitaku. She called for the assembly to pass the law without changes and said her party would introduce a new legislative initiative on November 16. Çitaku also proposed completing the amendments within two weeks. The PDK and the ruling Self-Determination movement had disagreed on changing the law at this stage, favouring its approval first and amendments later. The Alliance for the Future of Kosova said it would support the PDK initiative in the assembly.
Meanwhile, the European Union Office in Prishtina expressed concern that the proposed changes could affect Kosova’s international obligations and adherence to the fundamental principles of the rule of law. It also questioned the constitutionality of the amendments to the law governing the Specialist Chambers.
