Kosovo politicians continued to trade accusations on Wednesday over a reported secret agreement in 2013 with NATO, which imposed limits on the security forces' freedom of action, especially in the Serb-dominated north.

Almost five years since Kosovo's parliament approved the establishment of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers and Prosecutor's Office, chief prosecutor Jack Smith has notified the president of the Specialist Chambers of his intention to initiate proceedings before the Hague-based 'special court', it was announced on Monday.

As well as the return of economic invasion of Kosovo.
He wrote on Twitter that even if the fees were abolished, there are no guarantees for mutual recognition of Kosovo and Serbia.

Kosovo's Gazette Express reports that the United States is considering withdrawing its troops from Kosovo if Pristina does not remove customs duties on goods from Serbia.

Not the 'year of the economy' after all:

At its second official meeting on Wednesday, Kosovo's new government under Albin Kurti scrapped several decisions made by the former government of Ramush Haradinaj.

Prime Minister Kurti for a start asked his cabinet to withdraw the decision of the former government to increase ministerial salaries by almost 100 per cent, and restore wages to their previous level.

The handover of power was carried out in the absence of former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, who is reported to be in the US, according to the Pristina Gazette Express.
Namely, MPs of Pacolli's New Kosovo Alliance party supported the election of Kurti's government.

Sabit Geci, a former Kosovo Liberation Army, KLA commander, said he was interviewed on Thursday by the Kosovo Specialist Prosecution, which is probing wartime and post-war crimes.

The outgoing government of Kosovo on Wednesday adopted the Magnitsky Act, designed to penalise egregious human rights abusers.

Outgoing Foreign Minister Behgjet Pacolli announced the establishment of the act on Twitter, shortly after outgoing PM Ramush Haradinaj declared it during a government meeting.

Serbian, Kosovo and NATO leaders on Monday welcomed the signing of an agreement to reopen the air link between Pristina and Belgrade that was broken 21 years ago.

US diplomats oversaw the signing of the agreement in Berlin, which will mean flights being operated by Lufthansa's budget carrier, Eurowings.
