Fuel prices rise in Kosovo as institutional dysfunction warnings grow
Kosovo faces rising diesel prices reaching 1.72 euros per liter and institutional deadlock risks, while the ICC dismisses Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan.
Fuel prices in Kosovo have continued to rise, reaching 1.72 euros per liter for diesel, prompting renewed calls from the Kosovo Chamber of Commerce for government intervention to protect local businesses and citizens.
Domestically, the Kosovo Law Institute warned that 24 independent state institutions face potential paralysis due to unfulfilled board seats and ongoing parliamentary deadlocks, up from 17 previously reported. Concurrently, the Kosovo Judicial Council convened to decide on requests from Kosovo Serb judges and staff seeking to retract their 2022 resignations following a petition by acting President Albulena Haxhiu.
In international news, member states of the International Criminal Court voted to dismiss Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan following allegations of misconduct regarding an improper relationship with a staff member.
