Vetevendosje Movement collected signatures from MPs for a special session of the Assembly to discuss the death of its activist, Astrit Dehari, at the Prizren detention facility. However, the request failed as, according to Vetevendosje, one of the MPs was pressured into removing his signature. In sign of protest, Vetevendosje and the other opposition parties, walked out of the meeting of the Assembly Presidency which was supposed to decide the timing of the next session.

Kosovo Assembly MP from the  Vetëvendosje movement, Glauk Konjufca, said that the Brussels agreement makes Kosovo only a user of a telephone code and not an owner. According to him, it is clear that Serbia will be the owner of the prefix, while Kosovo will only use it. “Legalization of Serbian operator in Kosovo does not appear to be as the government claims, and this makes the agreement unacceptable,” Konjufca said.

Citizens, members of the civil society and Vetevendosje Movement protested in Pristina today demanding an independent investigation into the yet unclear circumstances of the death of Vetevendosje activist, Astrit Dehari, at the Prizren detention facility. Protesters also demanded the resignation of Justice Minister Dhurata Hoxha and that of Prizren regional police commander Nexhmi Krasniqi.

The autopsy of the Vetevendosje activist, Astrit Dehari, who died on Saturday whilst in the Prizren detention centre, will be carried out today and EULEX experts as well as those appointed by the deceased’s family will take part. Justice Minister, Dhurata Hoxha, said the process will be transparent and that the Inspectorate of the Kosovo’s Correctional Service is also engaged in looking into circumstances of Dehari’s death. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Isa Mustafa expressed his condolences on the death of Vetevendosje activist calling for independent investigations.
