The Vetevendosje Movement officials during a press conference today said that they will oppose the establishment of the Association/Community of Serb-majority Municipalities and didn’t rule out the use of violence to do so. The leader of the Vetevendosje parliamentary group, Glauk Konjufca, said that this Association/Community is a political autonomy which will be controlled by Belgrade.  “We call on the people of Kosovo to oppose this Association/Community starting from the Assembly and through nation-wide protests,” Konjufca said.

The Vetevendosje Movement today again called on Kosovo people to join its actions and meetings to prevent the establishment of the Association/Community of Serb-majority Municipalities.  Vetevendosje activists today placed posters in front of the government building, in which they illustrate Kosovo in two ways: "Kosovo without Association/Community" as a single entity, and "Kosovo with Association/Community" cut in several pieces.  Activist Nol Nushi said that the establishment of this Association/Community, would create a mini-state within Kosovo, whi

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), said in an interview with Epoka e Re that Kosovo should go to early national elections in October this year “in order to save itself from the bad governance of [Prime Minister] Isa Mustafa”. Haradinaj did not rule out the possibility of the AAK, Initiative for Kosovo and the Vetevendosje Movement, running with a joint list in the event of early elections. The AAK leader also said that the special court is an unnecessary experiment and that it benefits only Prime Minister Mustafa.

Vetevendosje MP Rexhep Selimi accused the Kosovo government today over the constitutional amendments for the establishment of the Kosovo Armed Forces. During his address in the Assembly, Selimi said “a dirty game” is being played with the fate of the armed forces. “Knowing that the constitutional amendments require a double majority in the Assembly, knowing that the ruling majority does not have these votes and knowing that the Serbian List is against this, the question is why did the government submit the constitutional amendments in the first place? The goal of the government is clear.

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 representatives of the three opposition parties, Vetevendosje, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), have requested early parliamentary elections. The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosvo, Ramush Haradinaj, head of the NISMA’s parliamentary group Valdete Bajrami and Vetevendosje activist, Frasher Krasniqi, assessed that the only solution to save Kosovo from the current coalition between the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), is holding of early elections.

The Assembly of Kosovo has endorsed today with majority of votes, Vetevendosje’s Resolution for EULEX mission in Kosovo, debated on Wednesday. From the 63 deputies present at this session, 23 of them voted for, 23 abstained while 17 were against. The content of the Resolution is below.

The representatives of opposition parties have walked out of the meeting of the Kosovo Assembly Presidency when Assembly Speaker Kadri Veseli opened the topic of the special court. Vetevendosje’s Glauk Konjufca, who is a member of the Assembly Presidency, told reporters that they walked out of the meeting because of discussions on the constitutional amendments that make way to the establishment of the special court. Konjufca said that Speaker Veseli asked the presidency that the special court should be discussed at a plenary session on Friday.

Analysts in Kosovo have repeatedly warned that the possible establishment of the special court by the UN would be damaging for Kosovo but Vetevendosje thinks differently. Its deputy leader Aida Derguti said in an interview for Radio Kosova that if the UN was to establish the court, this would produce two new developments.  “We believe it is impossible for the UN to establish the court for Kosovo because, to do so, a court would need to recognised the territory of Kosovo and its borders.

The Vetevendosje Movement through a press release announced that they will support tomorrow's protest organized by the  KLA War Associations against the establishment of the special court. "The establishment of the special court, in addition to creating a parallel  justice system in Kosovo, tends to distort the historical truth, judging our fight for freedom. The special court, created specially for the members of the KLA, presents selective and one-sided justice.
