Kosovo Assembly Amends Special Court Law, Elects President in Last-Minute Deal

The Kosovo Assembly adopted amendments to the Special Court law, clearing the way for the election of Justina Široka Pulja as president, formalizing a deal between PM Albin Kurti and the Democratic Party of Kosovo. The move removes a key obstacle to the court's operation, but the timing and political motivations raise questions about the integrity of the process. This development signals a potential shift in Kosovo's political landscape and its handling of war crimes accountability.
