Assembly committee approves criminal code draft (Koha)
Kosovo Assembly’s legislation committee has approved in principle today the new draft of Kosovo’s criminal code presented by Justice Minister, Abelard Tahiri. Tahiri said the draft law is in harmony to EU standards and legislation and that it will provide Kosovo with a new boost to fight crime and corruption. He urged MPs to vote the bill as quickly as possible as apart from meeting EU requirements, the law is also a visa liberalisation condition.
