British ambassador Ruairi O'Connell told a conference on wartime missing persons in Pristina on Tuesday that the issue was "emotional" for families of the victims and should not be used for political purposes.

War victims' groups and Pristina-based rights campaigners criticised recent attempts by MPs in Pristina to revoke a law which allows the new Kosovo Specialist Chambers to operate.

The president of the Association of Missing and Kidnapped Persons from Kosovo and Metohija, Ranko Djinovic, said that repealing the law would be an "injustice".
