The Kosovo and Metohija Assembly is to establish and organize the courts of Kosovo and Metohija, and it is to elect the judges and judges of the jury.
A citizen of Kosovo and Metohija must go to the prison established by the Assembly of Kosovo and Metohija and in accordance with the regulations brought by the Assembly if he or she is sentenced in the court of Kosovo and Metohija.
It is responsible for the Kosovo and Metohija regulations executing and for proposing of the regulations to the Assembly of Kosovo and Metohija.
Demilitarization of the KLA (Kosovo Liberation Army) and its transformation into a civilian organization and it also its involvement of its political wing in Kosovo politics is another segment that arose from the outcome of post-99 constellation.
The boycott and non-participation in the assembly of Kosovo is one the barriers for the Serb community in Kosovo to have had the voice being heard so far.
Kosovo politicians view Macedonia and Albania as two good neighbors with whom they want to generate friendly and serious cooperation, and I think the prospects of regional cooperation and EU integrative processes will promote the kind of relationship that would prevent any sort of tensions between Kosovo and the other countries of the region.
