The government of Kosovo has announced its intention to work towards correcting the recent war crimes verdict against former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leaders. Prime Minister Albin Kurti, speaking from New York, stated that the administration will engage in efforts to rectify the decision by the Hague tribunal. This official stance comes as protests continue for a fourth consecutive night in Pristina, with citizens demonstrating against the court's ruling. In a separate significant development, a mass grave in Kalludër and Jabukë of Zubin Potok has been confirmed, with the identities of three victims belonging to the 'Intellectuals Group' now verified. This discovery adds a new dimension to the ongoing efforts to account for missing persons from past conflicts. Allegations have also surfaced suggesting that Serbia may be using the Special Court as a tool for a new offensive against Kosovo. Meanwhile, political figures and parties continue to react to the KLA verdict. The Guxo party has responded to criticism directed at Donika Gervalla, the Second Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, supporting protest but rejecting 'political lynching'. Opinions from international figures like Christopher Hill, a Distinguished Fellow with the Atlantic Council's Europe Center, and Wolfgang Petritsch, President of the Austrian Institute for International Affairs, have also been voiced, expressing disappointment with aspects of the verdict and offering historical context.
