British Embassy expresses concern over amendments to the Law on the Specialist Chambers

The Kosovo Assembly’s plan to put amendments to the Law on the Specialist Chambers to a vote again has prompted a response from the United Kingdom’s Embassy in Kosovo. According to “Bota sot,” the Embassy has expressed concern about the content of the proposed amendments.

In its statement, the British Embassy said the proposals do not serve Kosovo’s fundamental interests and could affect its relations with international partners and supporters.

The Embassy said it understands the strength of the reactions prompted by the recent judgments. Nevertheless, it believes Kosovo’s aims are best served if the country continues to uphold its international commitments and its commitment to accountability, justice and the rule of law.

Before a decision is made, the British Embassy urges the Assembly to take time for further consultations within the country, as well as with the European Union and other international allies, to find a better solution.
