The United Kingdom Embassy in Kosovo has expressed concern over the Kosovo Assembly’s intention to re-vote changes to the Law for Specialised Chambers.

In a public response, the embassy has estimated that the proposed changes would not serve Kosovo’s basic interests and could harm its relations with international partners and supporters.

The British Embassy has called on the Parliament not to rush the vote and use the time for further consultations, both within Kosovo institutions and the European Union and other international allies.

The United Kingdom notes the goal of Kosovo’s Assembly to vote again for the changing law and meets the Law for Specialised Chambers.

We are afraid the proposed amendments will do nothing to serve Kosovo’s core interests and damage its relations with international partners and supporters.

We have taken into full consideration the strength of feelings surrounding recent decisions. We believe that Kosovo’s goals can best be met by ensuring that Kosovo continues to fulfil its international commitments and its dedication to accountability, justice and rule of law. We encourage the Parliament to take time for further interior consultations and with the EU and other international allies to find a better solution, the embassy’s response said.

The British Embassy’s reaction comes at a time when Kosovo’s Assembly is expected to reexamine changes to the Law for Specialised Chambers, following its return for review by President Justina Shiroka-Pula.
