The bill proposed by the Parliamentary Movement of Vetevendosje Group, which received the support of MPs, paves the way for the Kosovo Republic Prosecutor's Office and the judicial system in general to proceed with the trial and condemnation of war criminals based on evidence which without delay should be reactalised and prepared by institutions of the Republic of Kosovo.
The LV parliamentary group reports it is preparing the legal base and support initiatives for drafting the war crimes documentation bill.
