Kosovo’s Justice Minister, Hajredin Kuci, said that that further procedures for the establishment of the special court are not the competence of local institutions. Kuci explained that after adopting the laws for the special court in the Assembly yesterday, the local institutions have no power  over the procedures by which special court shall be established.  "The procedure of establishing special court is not in our competency, but the EU’s,” Kuci said.

The news site reports that the opposition parties, with the initiative of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) are planning to block the work of the Kosovo Assembly in the session when they are expected to vote for the constitutional amendments that enable the establishment of the special court. "The goal is that the opposition MPs to physically block the entrance of the hall where the session is expected to take place, and not allow the MPs to enter the session,” said a senior official of one of the opposition parties who preferred to remain anonymous.

The Vice President of the European Parliament and Rapporteur for Kosovo, Ulrike Lunacek, today called on the ruling-coalition parties in Kosovo to resubmit to the Assembly the constitutional amendments that enable the establishment of the special court.
