Haradinaj: Government's role in abolishing specials is not too big

Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has indicated that he has committed someone from his team to talk to the Parliament's Headship over the request for the initiative to abolish the Special Court.

According to him, the government has yet to accept any official documents from the assembly.

Haradinaj said the government's role in this issue is not very big, since it is parliamentary initiative.

All procedures will be followed and each ministry will give its position on the initiative to abolish specials, the government first indicated.

Meanwhile, today, the chief of the EU office in Kosovo, Natalia Apostolova, has warned that the tendency to abolish the Special Court will bring consequences to the country.

“Repowering the law on specialised rooms has an impact on Kosovo's European path, and I think it primarily affects the obligations Kosovo Assembly has taken over a few years ago. Right on an international obligation and an international contract. Thus, abolishing the law actually causes a kind of failure to credibility Kosovo as a partner, to international obligations and, of course, affects the rule of law, which is the main issue where the EU is involved and where we would like to see further developments. If it has any impact on this abolition of course it does, and for this reason, I call on it and this important country, where Bulgarian presence begins with its functioning, but sets the Western Balkans as a priority, Kosovo should not lose that opportunity. It is time for Kosovo to show that it is a lot of «dedicated to rule of law and that it is a very reliable credit partner in international organisations and international contracts”, Apostolova said.
