Violence erupted in front of the parliament in Pristina amid ongoing citizen protests. A Kosovo Democratic Institute collaborator calls for an end to violence and urges an urgent political response to the protesters' demands. The situation is developing, with uncertainty over the government's next steps.
Protesters, identified as Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) veterans, have besieged the Kosovo Assembly in Pristina, clashing with police who deployed tear gas and water cannons. The unrest is confirmed to be linked to demands for legislative amendments to the Law on Special Majorities, specifically to limit the powers of the Hague war crimes court concerning KLA cases. The extent of injuries and arrests remains unclear.
