L\u00ebvizja Vet\u00ebvendosje (LVV) has called President Vjosa Osmani\u2019s decision to dissolve the Assembly arbitrary and unconstitutional. The party has announced that it will take Osmani\u2019s decree to the Constitutional Court for interpretation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The head of LVV\u2019s Parliamentary Group, Arb\u00ebrie Nagavci, said that Osmani\u2019s decision is unprecedented and unconstitutional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are witnesses that today\u2019s dissolution of the Assembly represents an unprecedented act that contradicts the constitutional order, and we will turn to the Constitutional Court over this. There is no reason why such an act had to take place this morning. At 14:00 today, a parliamentary session was scheduled to review international agreements worth around 100 million euros in projects in the interest of citizens. Among others, this included ratifying a loan agreement, the Prishtina-Mitrovica high-speed road project, a loan agreement for solar photovoltaic energy projects at KEK, a reconstruction and development agreement for the wastewater treatment plant in Podujev\u00eb, and a loan agreement between the Republic of Kosovo and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development for energy efficiency projects in public buildings,\u201d <\/em>Nagavci stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the head of LVV deputies, they did everything possible to elect a president and avoid elections, while noting that they were aware \u201cthat there are many parties and interest groups whose plans were disrupted by LVV\u2019s strong public support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThrough its chairman, the Prime Minister of the Republic, LVV held several consecutive meetings with each of the leaders of the two largest opposition parties, PDK and LDK. Communications continued without interruption. We considered the election result clear and saw no reason for new elections. PDK insisted that the presidency belongs to them, even though they had only 22 votes in the Assembly. When asked about the candidate\u2019s name, they refused to disclose it, demanding a blank signature for a name they would decide later. On the other hand, both PDK and LDK refused to propose their own candidate, even though LVV offered them enough signatures for a nomination. Even President Osmani did not accept LVV\u2019s signatures, requiring that her candidacy be guaranteed only with full support and votes from all our deputies,\u201d <\/em>she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n She added that the opposition also rejected the option of constitutional amendments to allow the president to be elected directly by the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At a press conference, LVV deputy Adnan Rrustemi considered the president\u2019s decision to dissolve the Assembly unconstitutional. He said the Constitution foresees only two cases for calling early elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday\u2019s action to dissolve the tenth legislature clearly contradicts the Constitution. It is an arbitrary decision that conflicts with the legal and constitutional basis and naturally undermines the constitutional functioning of institutions. The Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo has no constitutional gaps regarding the circumstances for dissolving the Assembly. In the current context regarding the election of the president, the Constitution provides for two scenarios for dissolving the Assembly and calling early elections. The first is under Article 86, paragraph 6, when after starting the procedure to elect the president, even in the third round with quorum participation, the election fails to reach 61 votes \u2014 which is not the case here. The second constitutional scenario is when, within 60 days of starting the procedure, the Assembly fails to elect a president, regardless of the outcome,\u201d <\/em>he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said it is \u201cregrettable\u201d that President Osmani would take such an action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt is regrettable, without any doubt, that the President of the Republic, who is the guarantor of the constitutional functioning of institutions, takes such an arbitrary action in violation of the Constitution on the first day of the 60-day term to dissolve the Assembly, while she has the responsibility to ensure the constitutional functioning of each institution,\u201d <\/em>he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Friday, President Vjosa Osmani issued the decree to dissolve the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, as she stated, following the failure of deputies to elect a new president within the constitutional deadline. In the absence of a quorum, the Assembly failed last night to proceed with the presidential vote, in which the candidates were Glauk Konjufca and Fatmire Koll\u00e7aku Mulhaxha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" L\u00ebvizja Vet\u00ebvendosje (LVV) has called President Vjosa Osmani\u2019s decision to dissolve the Assembly arbitrary and unconstitutional.
