The move signals political pushback against the tribunal's verdicts, potentially straining relations with international partners. The outcome remains uncertain as dissolution would require constitutional and international coordination.

Kosovo Ex-President Thaci Sentenced for War Crimes; Protests Erupt

Former Kosovo President Hashim Thaci and three ex-KLA leaders have been convicted of war crimes, including murder, torture, and illegal detention, by the Kosovo Specialist Chambers in The Hague, receiving a 25-year sentence. This verdict has triggered protests in Kosovo, with clashes reported at the EU mission in Pristina, and strong political condemnation from Kosovo's Prime Minister. The ruling is a landmark for transitional justice in the Balkans, but its domestic reception and impact on Kosovo-Serbia relations remain highly uncertain.
