Kosovo Assembly Besieged by KLA Veterans Amid War Crimes Court Protests

Protesters, identified as Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) veterans and supporters of 'Liberation Army' leaders, have besieged the Kosovo Assembly in Pristina, blocking exits and clashing with police. The unrest is confirmed to involve the use of tear gas, water cannons, and pyrotechnics, resulting in at least one police officer injury. The protests are primarily driven by demands for amendments to the Law on Special Majorities and efforts to restrict the powers of the Hague war crimes court (Kosovo Specialist Chambers) following convictions of former guerrilla leaders.
