Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti stated that meetings with other parties regarding the constitution of the Kosovo Assembly have ended due to lack of success, after offering two compromises to them.
During the inauguration of the hemodialysis service at the Podujeva municipal hospital, Kurti was asked by the media whether he would meet again with other political parties to find cooperation on the constitution of the Kosovo Assembly.
Kurti said that the Movement Vetëvendosje has completed its steps, while the other side has not offered any cooperation.
Furthermore, Kurti said that the Constitutional Court ruling stated that parties must reach a political agreement together, because disagreements are not resolved by the Court. PDK and LDK have sent cases to the Court.
“We have offered two compromises, the first was regarding secret voting, if the first candidate Haxhiu is not chosen, then we will propose another name and agree on the package including the chairperson and deputy chairpersons, and return to open voting. We took steps, but there was no response from the other side. When the Constitutional Court previously ruled, it specifically stated that political agreements must be reached among parliamentary groups because disagreements are not solved by the court. Immediately, the two main opposition parties again sent cases to the Constitutional Court… We have respected that, and I have written letters to meet, but so far we have had no success,” Kurti said.
Today, August 8, ends the deadline for the temporary measure set by the Constitutional Court of Kosovo regarding the constitution of the Assembly. On July 24, the Court said deputies cannot make any decisions or take any actions related to the formation of the Assembly until August 8.
This happened because the institution is reviewing two cases filed by the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo, which seek clarifications on constitutional matters related to the formation of the ninth legislature.
