Anger erupts in Pristina after Kosovo parliament stalls bid to curb powers of Hague court

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered in Pristina, Kosovo, on Monday night following the parliament's failure to advance legislation intended to curb the powers of a Hague-based war crimes court. The protest occurred in the capital city as lawmakers stalled the bid to weaken the judicial body's authority.

The legislative impasse follows the recent conviction of four former rebels on war crimes charges. The proposed measures were aimed at limiting the court's reach, a move that has sparked significant public reaction and political tension in the region.
