The Basic Court in Pristina has issued an arrest warrant against four opposition MPs, three from Vetevendosje and one from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK). The judge issued the order after it concluded that the defendants - Albin Kurti, Albulena Haxhiu, Faton Topalli and Donika Kadaj – failed to appear at their hearing session scheduled for today. However, the MPs, except for Kurti who the media reported did not show up at all at court, insist they waited for the judge at the set time for fifteen minutes and as he did not show up by then, they decided to leave. “Even last time we had to wait for the judge for one hour and this is irresponsible. 17 February is nearing and we are leaving as we have a lot to do,” said Vetevendosje’s Haxhiu. The MPs are facing charges for illegal possession of dangerous weapons and preventing official persons from carrying out their duties related to the release of teargas at the Kosovo Assembly chamber.
