👨‍⚖️ Verdict

Kosovo is experiencing its sixth consecutive day of protests against the Special Court's verdict, with student groups now joining the demonstrations in Pristina. This ongoing public outcry is met with diplomatic efforts from the government, which is actively seeking avenues for an appeal. Prime Minister Albin Kurti, leader of the Vetëvendosje party, engaged with U.S. Representative Mike Lawler in New York to discuss perceived legal inaccuracies in the Specialist Chambers' decision and outline a state strategy for correction. Adding to the international dimension, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama publicly voiced Albania's support for Kosovo in its efforts to overturn the verdict. Meanwhile, authorities have confirmed the identification of Idriz Rrecaj, a political activist and 'Hero of Kosovo' who disappeared during the war, as one of three victims whose remains were recently exhumed from a mass grave in northern Kosovo.
