Kosovo lawmakers denounce EU-backed court's war crimes verdicts
Original: Kosovo's lawmakers slam EU-backed court's war crimes verdicts of rebel leaders from war with Serbia
Kosovo's parliament has publicly criticised the EU-backed court in The Hague after it convicted former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army, the ethnic Albanian guerrilla force that fought Serbian forces in the 1998-99 war. Many lawmakers view the verdicts as an injustice against men widely regarded at home as heroes of the independence struggle.
Why now: The court's verdicts have reignited tensions between Kosovo's political establishment and Western-backed justice over the legacy of the war with Serbia.
