Protest over the Special Court law escalates: protesters push Besnik Bislimi in front of the Assembly

The protest against the Draft Law on amending and supplementing the Law on Specialist Chambers escalated on Monday afternoon in front of the Assembly of Kosovo, as Klan Kosova reports.

Since the morning hours, protesters have gathered in front of the Assembly building demanding that the draft law also be voted in the second reading, after in the morning it passed the first reading with 91 votes in favour.

In the afternoon hours, tension rose significantly: the protesters present pushed Besnik Bislimi in front of the Assembly, in an incident that has raised concern about security in the area.

After the escalation of the situation, an increased presence of police units was observed at the scene, which are closely monitoring developments.

Meanwhile, in front of the Kosovo Government building, protesters threw pyrotechnic devices as well as stones toward the officials who were entering inside, chanting among other things “You will not get out”, according to Klan Kosova’s reports.
