Kosovo's Parliament Convenes in Special Session for Northern Tensions
MPs of the Assembly of Kosovo will meet this Friday in a special session that is expected to start at 10:00, when they will discuss the situation in the north of their country.
Situation in the municipalities in the north of the country became tense on Friday, May 26, when the sworn mayors were forced to enter their work offices under the assistance of the Kosovo Police.
As a result of the violent protests, six Kosovo policemen and 30 KFOR soldiers were injured, while the Serbs also attacked the Kosovo Police and journalists.
The United States have criticized Kosovo for escalating tensions with Serbia, even canceling the country's participation in a NATO military exercise "Defender 23", after Prishtina refused to withdraw its mayors and police forces from the north of country.
While a signal to overcome the situation was seen on Thursday, when American Ambassador Jeffrey Hovenier said that he and Prime Minister Albin Kurti had a productive meeting and that they had talked about the basic agreement with Serbia.
On the other hand, the head of the executive said that they are committed to calming the situation in the north of the country.
