Kosovo Intelligence Agency

David Schwendiman, the chief prosecutor of the new Kosovo special war crimes court, said that the election of Hashim Thaci as the country’s president does not give him immunity from prosecution.

Kosovo Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci "says he received a death threat purportedly from the leader of the Islamic State organization," AFP has reported.

The French agency said on Thursday the threat came "over Thaci's opposition to the extremist group."

Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa has said there is "no reason for his deputy (and) foreign minister, Hashim Thaci" not to become the president.

Mustafa promised that his Democratic Party of Kosovo would support Thaci's bid, the Kosova Press agency said.

A Belgrade-based NGO which asked Kosovo Foreign Minister Hashim Thaci to visit the Serbian capital for a conference has revoked the invitation, blaming what it said was political pressure.

Fadil Demaku, deputy head of parliament's commission for the KIA, said the recent scandals concerning the agency had “had a very bad impact on its image among the public.
