The paper reports on the front page that members of the Kosovo Assembly are under local and international pressure to vote in favour of the establishment of the special court on Wednesday. According to the paper, Assembly members will not even have the right to debate on the matter.
Sources told the paper that the session will start at 10:00 a.m. and not last long. There are two points on the agenda: the vote on the ratification of the international agreement on the EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, and the vote on legal amendments related to the Mission’s mandate. Both bills contain provisions for the establishment of the special court.
“There is preliminary agreement among the majority of parliamentary groups not to have a debate during the voting on the two bills. Only chiefs of parliamentary groups will express their opinions. I don’t believe that the session will last longer than 30 minutes,” a source told the paper.
