Violators of this new Regulation will face penalty fines and up to ten years in prison. This Regulation resembles something that Hitler might issue in order to stifle the people's opinions about their own country.
Freedom of speech is no longer in Kosovo.
The Regulation is a general provision against publicly inciting hatred or violence between ethnic, religious or other groups living in Kosovo. The Regulation has been discussed with the Kosovo Joint Advisory Council of Legislative Matters and the Council of Europe, whose comments have been reflected in the law. The law is consistent with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights. The Regulation provides for fines or prison terms of up to five years for anyone who publicly incites or spreads hatred, discord or intolerance between the respective groups in Kosovo. There will be prison terms of up to 10 years if someone commits these acts systematically or takes advantage of his or her position.
