Summary

Protests erupted in Pristina, Kosovo, on October 5-6 following the conviction of four former Kosovo Liberation Army leaders by a Hague-based war crimes tribunal. Demonstrators demanded passage of legislation to limit the court's powers, including capping prison sentences at 15 years and allowing appeals to Kosovo's Supreme Court. Police clashed with protesters outside parliament, using tear gas, water cannons, and spray to disperse crowds. Casualty figures vary across reports: at least 17 to 33 people were injured, including police officers, protesters, and one journalist. Protesters threw pyrotechnic devices, fireworks, and other objects at the parliament building and government facilities. Three individuals were arrested. Parliament passed a first reading of amendments to the Specialist Chambers law, but demonstrators blocked further proceedings, demanding a second vote. Prime Minister Albin Kurti expressed skepticism about the rushed amendments. The political deadlock and protests raised the prospect of new elections if lawmakers failed to reach agreement on a presidential election deadline.
