28. 特别检察官 Elez Blakaj 于 8 月 13 日辞职，辞职起因是据指称在其对一些受人注目的案件、包括牵连到科索沃解放军涉嫌从事福利欺诈的案件进行调查中受到政治政治干预和威胁。这一辞职行动引发了 8 月 22 日和 9 月 26 日在普里什蒂纳的一些公众抗议，示威者要求首席检察官辞职并审查科索沃政府所持科索沃解放军退伍军人目前的清单。9 月 14 日，科索沃特别检察官针对负责核实退伍军人身份的 12 名前政府委员会成员向普里什蒂纳初级法院提出了一项起诉。这些人被控滥用职权非法发放养老金，造成约达 6 800 万欧元的损失。此外 9 月底，普里什蒂纳初级法院因科索沃议会2名议员公开恫吓司法机构人员而发出独立的调查拘留令。
28. On 13 August, Special Prosecutor Elez Blakaj resigned over alleged political interference in and threats in connection with his investigation of several high-profile cases, including a case of suspected benefits fraud involving Kosovo Liberation Army veterans. The resignation triggered public protests in Pristina on 22 August and 26 September, in which demonstrators called for the resignation of the Chief Prosecutor and a review of the current list of Kosovo Liberation Army veterans maintained by the government of Kosovo. On 14 September, the Special Prosecution Office of Kosovo filed an indictment before the Basic Court of Pristina against 12 former members of the government commission responsible for verifying the veterans’ status. They stand accused of abusing their official position by illegally issuing pensions, resulting in the loss of approximately €68 million. In addition, at the end of September, the Basic Court of Pristina issued separate investigative detention orders for two members of the Assembly of Kosovo for publicly intimidating members of the judiciary.
