Eugen Cakollli from the Democratic Institute of Kosovo stressed that neither today nor tomorrow is the constitutional last day for electing the President. He said that the 60-day deadline for this process is activated only the day after the constitution of the Assembly.

According to him, the only deadline that is coming to an end is the one for the constitution of the Assembly, which, as Cakolli said, ends tomorrow, at 23:59. 

"Although the request for additional time and the interruption of the session do not constitute a procedural violation, they do not suspend or extend the constitutional deadline within which the Assembly must be constituted," Cakolli wrote in a Facebook post. 

He stated that without the constitution being finalized, the procedure for electing the President will not begin at all. 

"After the constitution, the parties will have a full 60 days for discussions, agreements and the election of the President. Therefore, it is meaningless to request "additional time for the President" by postponing the very process that activates that time," Cakolli wrote.
