Tension in front of the Special Court in The Hague/ Police warn protesters: Leave or we will use force

Tension in front of the Special Court in The Hague/ Police warn protesters:

Hundreds of Albanians have gathered in The Hague, near the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, in support of former KLA leaders Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi and Jakup Krasniqi. Shortly before the start of the hearing, there were tensions between the Albanian side and the Dutch police. The Dutch police asked the protesters several times to leave the court entrance and move to the authorized protest area. The officers warned that if the order was not followed, they would intervene to remove them.

This led to verbal clashes with some of the protesters. After repeated warnings from the police, the situation calmed down and the protesters stopped shouting at the officers. The rally takes place on the day when the Specialist Chambers are expected to announce the first instance verdict against the four former KLA leaders. The hearing for the announcement of the verdict is scheduled for today at 10:00.

How Rama is leading the country towards civil strife

Insisting on violence, on arming civilians, on paying police officers as if they were mercenaries, alone does not produce peace. Edi Rama's fear of where he will end up when he is no longer prime minister does not have to become Albania's nightmare.

Andi Bushati: Why stones and Molotov cocktails became inevitable

This youth revolt has had a great merit. It made known to the general public the most criminal side of this regime that had until now been preserved in the most secretive recesses. If the extremely peaceful revolution of the flamingos showed us that this government was no longer popular, its radical epilogue, with stones and Molotov cocktails, is serving to bring to light that the autocrat is capable of using any means to stay in power.
