Will George Soros now lavish millions on the Serbs in Kosovo?



The OSCE has recently published a report on the criminal justice in Kosovo.

According to an OSCE press release these are the key findings:
- some provisions of applicable law may conflict with human rights
standards;
- the report finds clear and compelling evidence of actual bias by the
courts against Kosovo Serb defendants, in particular;
- vulnerable groups, such as juveniles and victims of sexual violence within
the criminal system, require enhanced protection;
- persons have been detained in violation of international standards as
there exists no appropriate legal framework to challenge illegal detentions.

According to the BBC the UNMIK administration reacted angrily to the report
and called it 'too ambitious and unrealistic':
