The Assembly failed to vote on the constitutional amendments for the vetting. 87 MPs were present in the plenary hall, eight of them from non-majority communities, for which 14 MPs are required to be present for constitutional changes. During the presentation of the constitutional amendments for the vetting, the Minister of Justice, Albulena Haxhiu stated that there is a constant tendency to hinder the reform in justice. The opposition parties have been in favor of these changes, but they have emphasized that such a thing is impossible to do without the Serbian List.
The Minister of Justice, Albulena Haxhiu said that the constitutional amendments for vetting in the justice system are one of the most important reforms. Further, she said that this is the key for Kosovo to be a state of law and the condition for the justice system to have prosecutors with high integrity.
She added that it is important that the judgment of the Constitutional Court validates integrity control as a concept that should exist in Kosovo.
The Deputy Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Kujtim Shala, said that in December, the ad-hoc commission was established for the development of the interim evaluation process.
The chairman of the Committee on Legislation, Adnan Rrustemi, asked the MPs to vote for these constitutional changes.
The head of the PDK Parliamentary Group, Abelard Tahiri, said that in the absence of the Serbian List, it is not possible to proceed with the voting of these constitutional amendments.
The head of the LDK Parliamentary Group, Arben Gashi, said that their proposal is to have an efficient justice system, adding that the political education of the current majority is limited.
Also, the MP of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Pal Lekaj, said that they support these constitutional amendments for the vetting.
Any constitutional amendment requires the approval of 2/3 of all MPs of the Assembly of Kosovo and 2/3 of the seats reserved for communities. /Sh. Pajaziti
