MPs attempting Kosovo isolation with special request

Kosovo was never closer to total international isolation and breaking up reports with international partners -- in particular with the US and the EU -- than last Friday, when Kosovo's Parliament's forty-member deputies with their signatures demanded extraordinary sessions for abolishing the Law for the Special Court.

But such an initiative failed in the two efforts of the Parliament's Headship in the absence of quorum, as representatives of the two opposition parties, the movement “Movement” and LDK did not attend the meeting.

International diplomats in Kosovo were the first to openly oppose this initiative, saying that with such an act the state of Kosovo is jeopardising the future due to the personal interests of its leaders.

US Ambassador to Kosovo Greg Delaway said that in the event such a proposal passes to the Assembly, there will be very negative implications for Kosovo's future as part of Europe.

Even, according to him, this will be considered by the United States as “thic behind the back”. “Ide to change the Law for Special Court may isolate Kosovo globally. Terrible idea. Don't turn the clock back”, Delawi said.

Even more adamant about the initiative of Kosovo lawmakers was British Ambassador to Kosovo Ruair O'Connell, saying this could be Kosovo's most dangerous night since the post-war.

While the head of the EU Office in Kosovo, Nataliya Apostolova, in a statement to the newspaper “Voice” has said no Kosovo politician has the right to make a decision that would put Kosovo's future at risk.

Otherwise, although he had signed for holding an extraordinary session of the Parliament, AKR deputy Islam Pacolli, on Friday afternoon has withdrawn the signing for abolishing the Special Court Law with the argument that he had not been properly informed by the signing initiative on what it is.
