The Head of the OSCE Mission in Kosovo, Ambassador Jean-Claude Schlumberger, condemned the violent acts in the Assembly of Kosovo today during the opposition’s efforts to block the proceedings.
“The violence we saw in the Assembly today is unacceptable and detrimental for democracy. The disturbing images of tear gas being used, Assembly members requiring medical assistance and other incidents undermine the perceptions of democratic progress in Kosovo. At the same time, the institutional blockade is harmful for progress and reforms,” said Ambassador Schlumberger.
“There are sufficient mechanisms in Kosovo for a pluralistic debate and I invite all parties to make use of them, rather than resort to violence,” he added.
