Hundreds of protesters gathered today outside the Assembly building in support of the opposition MPs who were trying to block the Assembly session this morning. According to media reports, protesters threw teargas, rocks, bottles and petrol bombs at the police. Kosovo Police spokesperson, Baki Kelani, told KTV that the protesters attacked the police with Molotov cocktails. According to Kelani, six police officers were injures and needed medical help. “One of the police officers had severe head injuries.

Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa, today during the Assembly session, requested by the legal authorities to take measures against the opposition MPs for, as he said, their violent actions at the Assembly. “The opposition’s actions at the Assembly are intolerable. Those who attack, those who throw chemical stuff which endangers the health of the MPs and diplomatic representatives, will answer for their actions. I call on the legal authorities to take action. We will not allow that 30 MPs to obstruct the work of the majority,” Mustafa said.

The United States Ambassador to Kosovo, Greg Delawie, during a press statement today called on the opposition parties to stop the violence. "The opposition should understand that the representatives of the people are elected in ballot boxes and not with weapons,” Delawie said. He praised the ruling-coalition MPs “who are serving the people of Kosovo despite the teargas.” “I am proud to stand with Kosovo’s democratically-elected assembly members as they face tear gas to serve the people of Kosovo,” Delawie said.
