Kosovo’s parliament failed to approve measures to set up a special court to try former fighters accused of war crimes.
The vote, which fell short by 5 votes, was backed by the United States and the European Union, who alleged that former ethnic Albanian fighters with the Kosovo Liberation Army were guilty of war crimes.

Earlier this month the former Prime Minister of Kosovo, Minister Ramush Haradinaj was detained in Slovenia, because of an investigation looking into alleged war crimes.
