Protests are spreading across Kosovo after a woman who repeatedly pleaded for protection was killed, allegedly by her brother-in-law. An official investigation found multiple institutional failures, including a prosecutor's refusal to act on a death threat. Eleven police officers and two prosecutors have been suspended, but as RFE/RL's Doruntina Baliu explains, the justice and interior ministers are refusing to resign despite mounting public pressure.
