The failure to constitute the Kosovo Assembly on Tuesday has created an institutional blockade in the country, as Albin Kurti's announcement of resignation and the transfer of the government into office was not accepted.
He and his cabinet are being asked to formally resign and submit it to the Parliament administration in order to continue with the formation of this institution. But on Wednesday, Kurti convened the government in office and said that he has no intention of resigning, as it would create an institutional vacuum.
"More than that, it is not possible to resign. More than that would be an abandonment of the institution, an institutional vacuum, political irresponsibility and a threat to national security," said the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti.
Kurti further accuses the current opposition of blocking the formation of institutions.
"Essentially, those who refused to formally accept the mandate of MP are asking me not to formally be prime minister," Kurti said.
This is being seen as a deliberate delay in the process of constituting the Kosovo Assembly and continuing with the formation of the government. This has been denied by the acting Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati.
"It was the opposition, in this case PDK, LDK, AAK and the Serbian List, who raised their hand to block the process, not us," said Acting Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati.
The continuation of the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly should start at 10:00 on Thursday, according to the regulation. The Democratic League of Kosovo says it will be in the Assembly at that time, while demanding the resignation of the government and the continuation of the constitution. "We invite the government cabinet, which claims to have resigned but still, and paradoxically, holds government meetings and makes decisions, to resign and to submit these resignations to the bodies of the Kosovo Assembly," wrote the leader of this party, Lumir Abdixhiku. The resignation of the current government has also been requested by Memli Krasniqi, leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo.
"They should officially resign from their government positions. They should immediately come to the session to constitute the Assembly. Then we will continue with the other constitutional phases for the establishment of the Government," Krasniqi wrote.
The suspension of the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly cannot last more than 48 hours from its first call. The ambiguities created on April 15 will be clarified by the president, who has already received the letter from the chair of the session and is reviewing it.
