Kosovo’s Assembly Moves to Change Charter

From Times Wire Reports
Kosovo’s parliament challenged the province’s U.N. overseers, adopting constitutional changes including the right to call a referendum on independence from Serbia.
The amendments would also switch control over international relations and public security from the U.N. mission, which has run the majority ethnic Albanian province since a 1999 conflict, to local authorities.
To become law, the measures must be signed by acting U.N. governor Charles Brayshaw, and his office made it clear that parliament did not have the right to make such major changes.
