The United Kingdom has expressed concern over Kosovo’s Parliament’s intention to re-vote the draft law on changing and completing the Law on Specialised Chambers.
In a statement, the British Embassy has estimated that the proposed changes would not serve Kosovo’s basic interests and could harm the country’s relations with international partners and supporters.
In her response, the United Kingdom has said it has taken into account the strong reactions and feelings created after the recent judgments.
However, she believes Kosovo’s goals can best be achieved by continuing to respect international commitments and dedication to accountability, justice and rule of law.
Great Britain has called on the Assembly to take the necessary time for further consultations — both within the country and with the European Union and other international allies — with the goal of finding a better solution.
