Citizens gathered again on Tuesday evening in "Skënderbeu" Square in Pristina, as part of the "Not in my name" protest, against the conviction of the Special Court in The Hague against former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA).
The protest has now entered its second week.
One of the organizers of the protest, Çlirim Haziri, from Skanderbeg Square, has once again called on the members of the Kosovo Assembly to take concrete action regarding the Special Court. He has requested Prime Minister Albin Kurti that the Government proceed in the Assembly with the draft law amending and supplementing the Law on Specialized Chambers.
Haziri said that the protest is not losing strength and that citizens are not giving up.
"Just look each other in the eye: there is no laziness here! In this square, there is only one thing that is boiling more and more every day: patience is running out here! Fatigue is not growing, but patience is running out," Haziri said.
The Special Court of First Instance sentenced Hashim Thaçi and Jakup Krasniqi to 25 years in prison each for war crimes. Kadri Veseli was sentenced to 18 years in prison, while Rexhep Selimi was sentenced to 13 years.
