Police: We have not received arrest warrant for MPs (Telegrafi)

The Basic Court in Pristina has issued on Wednesday an arrest warrant for three Vetevendosje MPs, Albin Kurti, Donika Kadaj-Bujupi and Albulena Haxhiu. Judge ordered their arresting and detention measures due to their absence from the court session with regards to throwing tear gas at the Assembly. However, Kosovo Police has not received the Court’s arrest warrant so far. “We as police, have not received any kind of arrest warrant,” said Police Spokesperson Flora Ahmeti. This might be the reason that Vetvendosje MPs were not arrested today while entering the Assembly.
