Baroness Anelay: We expect Kosovo to keep its word on special court (Kosovapress)

United Kingdom’s Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs and British Prime Minister's Special Representative on Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict, Baroness Joyce Anelay, met Kosovo’s President Atifete Jahjaga in Pristina today, and said that Kosovo must keep its word and establish the special court. Anelay said she would meet Kosovo’s top leaders to discuss the special court and that she has a clear message. “My message is clear. Kosovo has sent a clear message that it wants to play an active role in the international arena. The international community expects Kosovo to keep its word and establish the special court and prove to the world that it wants to join international organizations as a member with full rights,” Anelay said. Kosovo President, Atifete Jahjaga, said after the meeting that any delay in the establishment of the special court would have a negative effect on Kosovo’s development processes. “My position has been clear from the very beginning: we have assumed an international obligation and we must deliver on it. We need to close this chapter no matter how difficult it may seem to our society,” Jahjaga said.
