The paper on the front page reports that the legal mechanism that will tackle the possible indictments from the allegations in the Council of Europe’s report will be called a Special Court and not a Tribunal as previously thought. The name change, according to paper’s sources, came as a result of powerful countries insisting that setting up a tribunal in the form originally presented would seriously impair Kosovo’s image.
Sources further said that the Special Court is expected to be modeled on EULEX’s Special Investigative Task Force set up to investigate allegations of organ trafficking in Kosovo. Similarly, the Special Court is will not be based in Kosovo but could have an administrative office here.
