Clashes in Pristina over war crimes court legislation
Protesters clashed with police in Pristina after parliament failed to advance legislation limiting the powers of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. One police officer and 11 civilians were injured.
Why it matters
Tensions over the court touch on Kosovo's relations with Western backers who support it.
Background
The Kosovo Specialist Chambers, based in The Hague, try crimes from the 1998-99 Kosovo war and its aftermath, including cases against former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders. Many Kosovars view the court as unfairly targeting their independence fighters.
