Special court will take some time to become functional (Bota Sot)
The special court for Kosovo will take some time to become completely functional. The main problem will be the court’s chamber in Netherlands, which according to government officials there, will take at least one year to be established. KTV quotes its sources in the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that the United States and the European Union asked the Netherlands to assist on the matter. The establishment of the chamber however will need to be adopted by the Dutch parliament and this is expected to take a year. “The basis of the court is problematic, because this will be the first court that is established by the European Union. We need to sign an international agreement with Kosovo, and this would have to be adopted by our parliament,” an official from the Dutch Foreign Ministry told KTV.
