Thousands March Against EU-Backed Court Prosecuting Kosovo War Veterans in Albania's Capital
Thousands gather in Albania's Tirana to protest a EU-backed court prosecuting Kosovo war veterans who fought against them.
Thousands of protesters rallied in Tirana's capital to voice opposition to a European Union-backed court that is prosecuting Kosovo war veterans, who they claim are being unfairly targeted by the judicial system. The protests were organized in response to the ongoing prosecution cases against former soldiers from the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). Many have called on the EU to intervene and halt the prosecutions, arguing that they are politically motivated and target individuals for their role in the 1998-99 war. The protests highlighted deep-seated tensions between Albania and its western allies over the handling of the war crimes cases.
