The constitution of the Kosovo Assembly fails for the 52nd time!

The constitution of the Kosovo Assembly fails for the 52nd time!

The Vetëvendosje Movement, which won the elections, has the exclusive right to propose a candidate for speaker of parliament, but this party's chosen candidate, Albulena Haxhiu, is considered unacceptable by some political groups.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo see him as a divisive figure, while the Democratic League of Kosovo has said it will not vote for any LVV candidate.

The LVV argues that it is the obligation of all MPs to constitute the Assembly.

PDK, LDK, AAK and the Serbian List are also opposing the change in voting from open to secret. The Albanian parties have argued that in the Constitutional Court's ruling, the secret ballot is unconstitutional, but the LVV has expressed a different opinion.

With the 30-day mandate approaching, the leader of the Social Democratic Initiative, Fatmir Limaj, whose party has three MPs, and the leader of the LVV, who is also the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, met last week in an attempt to find a solution. However, so far they have not announced any agreement on the constitution of the Assembly, and then the formation of the Government.

In addition to arguing that a compromise does not seem imminent, the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, on July 22 addressed the Constitutional Court with two requests: to clarify what the legal consequences are if the Assembly is not constituted by July 26, and for the Constitutional Court to impose a temporary measure on the 30-day deadline, until a ruling is issued regarding the request for legal consequences.

She also requested clarification on what happens if the Assembly is constituted after the July 26 deadline.

"The request for a temporary measure is an opportunity to avoid putting institutions in an endless blockade, and entering a situation where institutions could be constituted in an unconstitutional manner and would be untimely," said the head of state.

PDK and AAK said that Osman's request for the Constitutional Court gives LVV time, while Limaj said that the clarifications requested by the president pave the way for a solution.

Former President of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, Enver Hasani, said in an interview with Radio Free Europe that Osman's request for a temporary measure and clarification of the 30-day deadline for the constitution of the Assembly is "clearly unfounded" and, as such, unacceptable to the Constitutional Court.

"The matter will only move forward when there is clarity from the Constitutional Court regarding the legal consequences of not constituting the Assembly, and the right of the first party to propose," he said.

In addition to electing the new Speaker, MPs must also elect five deputy speakers to complete the process of constituting the Assembly.

Since April 15 - when the constitutive session began - non-governmental organizations have continuously called on MPs to form the new institutions. /rel
