⚠️ Warnings

Seven to eight new domestic violence cases were reported across Kosovo within a 24-hour period, involving women attacked and threatened by family members. This surge in incidents comes as the Inspectorate of Police of Kosovo (IPK) is revealed to have warned about police deficiencies in handling domestic violence cases since January. The murder of Arlinda Zekaj continues to fuel public outrage, with protests entering their fifth day and a new demonstration against the government scheduled for Sunday in Pristina. In a related development, the resignation letter of former Police Director Gazmend Hoxha to Prime Minister Albin Kurti has surfaced, stating that responsibility extends beyond individual actions. The Zekaj murder has also prompted the reporting of 155 high-risk cases of domestic violence. Further legal and governmental news includes a judge granting bail to a highly sought-after individual named Krasniqi just ten days before the judge's retirement, and delays in the budget process, which Prime Minister Kurti announced would be approved by the government on Monday. The European Commission's draft report indicates a lack of progress in fundamental areas and political influence within the justice system.
