The return of the Special Chambers Law to Parliament has ignited intense political debate, with Albulena Haxhiu, Speaker of the Assembly, asserting that the law cannot be amended due to a Constitutional Court ruling. She emphasized that the Parliament will ultimately decide on the law's future. Conversely, Vlora Çitaku, acting chairwoman of the opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), has committed to the law's reconsideration in Parliament within four weeks, aiming for its swift completion. The renewed discussions have also prompted warnings of protests from veterans. Other domestic news includes the Ministry of Health's acknowledgment of a shortage of the drug 'Palbociclib', the controlled shutdown of Unit B2 of the 'Kosova B' Power Plant due to technical issues, and the arrest of a German citizen at Merdarë with 1 million euros of undeclared cash.
