The Kosovo Institute for Justice assessed that from the moment of taking the oath as an MP, under no circumstances can a person be part of the government cabinet, whether prime minister or minister.
Naim Jakaj from IKL said in a press conference that IKL has prepared a resignation letter that will be submitted to the Assembly and will be offered to each government official to sign and resign at the appropriate time.
"From the moment of taking the oath as an MP, under no circumstances can a person be part of the government cabinet, be it prime minister or minister. From the moment of taking the oath, they must submit their resignations. As for Kurti's resignation letter, it does not represent an act of resignation, the content shows that the letter indicates that he can exercise the duty of prime minister. The leadership goes to the acting deputy prime minister. The resignation letter must be clear and not create controversy. The letter must be addressed to the chairman of the speaker of parliament," said Jakaj.
Meanwhile, Melos Kolshi from the Kosovo Law Institute said that the government officials did not submit their formal resignations the day before the certification of the election results.
"IKD has continuously highlighted the uncertainties surrounding the issue of resignation and it is caused by the lack of regulation of the law. The article when the deputy wins the mandate was transferred to the Law on Government, it has become unclear. This article has failed to form clear laws. Members of the government must resign at the moment the elections are certified and must reflect. Blocking the assembly is not an alternative," said Kolshi.
