Kosovo’s government

As Kosovo’s government ploughs ahead with a plan to build a new coal-fired power plant, green energy advocates say renewable sources have big potential, despite the challenges.

Kosovo’s government accused opposition leaders of trying to seize power using violence after protest clashes in Pristina that left over 170 people injured, while the opposition blamed the police.

Kosovo’s government on Tuesday voted in favour of a draft law which will see the mandate of the EU rule-of-law mission, EULEX, extended until June 15, 2016, and guarantees the continued operation of EULEX’s Special Investigative Task Force, SITF.

The extension of EULEX’s mandate was requested by Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga.

The digital display in central Pristina, an initiative launched by Kosovo’s government commission on missing persons, is an inadequate substitute for the genuine memorial that was originally promised, relatives who have joined the boycott told BIRN.
