Koha Ditore

In it, Hoxhaj said he expressed Pristinas concerns over the uncertainty of Kosovos European integration perspective in the European Commissions new enlargement strategy.

According to reports, the goal of the document is to block Kosovo.

Pristina-based Albanian language media are reporting this, adding that Haradinaj "confirmed" that he made insulting statements about Greg Delawie.

Haradinaj told TV Klan Kosova that the ambassador "violated the diplomatic code when he pressured members of the Kosovo Assembly not to vote in favor of abolishing the special court."

PRISTINA - A delegation of French and German officials has arrived in Kosovo on an urgent mission to block any initiatives aimed at abolishing the special war crimes court.

The delegation held meetings with Kosovo President Hasim Taci and PM Ramus Haradinaj to warn them that the consequences of abolishing the court would be huge, Pristina's Koha ditore daily reported.

Otherwise, Thaci told Voice of America in an interview, he would be "violating the Constitution."

"It is my constitutional and legal obligation, and I cannot deny or turn down the will of the MPs," he said, according to Tanjug, which cited UNMIK's Media Observer.

The reason is that the US State Department is "not ready to meet with him" - Tanjug said in an article citing KTV, which quoted the Albanian language daily Koha Ditore.

PRISTINA - The US has warned the Pristina authorities that, should the Kosovo assembly scrap the special war crimes court, Washington would not block a Russian initiative in the UN to form a similar court, the Pristina Koha ditore daily reported Friday.

The US also issued the warning two years ago, when Pristina was hesitant about passing a law on the specialised court.

Freedom of the media in Kosovo is increasingly being threatened by political pressures which include direct interference by politicians, according to a study entitled 'Media Freedom and Journalists' Safety' which was published on Monday by the Association of Journalists of Kosovo.

"Kosovo's independence also bears the big stamp of London," Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has said, the daily Koha Ditore is reporting.

The Pristina-based Albanian language newspaper said Thaci on Wednesday met with British Minister for Europe and the Americas Alan Duncan.
