KDI: Deputies should address the Constitutional Court, the level of political disagreements has been exceeded

The Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) is considering the situation created around the constitution of the Assembly absurd and unacceptable, assessing that the mandatory 30-day deadline has expired and that the LVV did not exercise its exclusive responsibility to propose a candidate for speaker of parliament. 

According to KDI, the Vetevendosje Movement is "consciously" continuing the "institutional blockade". 

"This situation has already exceeded the level of political disagreement between parliamentary parties. The expiration of the deadline without the constitution of the Assembly has created a direct constitutional issue for the validity of the further procedure. A late candidacy, a new 48-hour interruption or an eventual political agreement cannot by themselves erase the consequences of inaction within the deadline," the institute's statement says.

KDI has stated that at least ten deputies should immediately refer to the Constitutional Court with the decisions and actions taken after the deadline expired, requesting some answers.

"If the failure to exercise the right to propose within the deadline has exhausted the mandate of this composition to complete the constitutional process; what legal validity do the actions taken after the deadline has expired; and what constitutional procedure should be followed further, including paving the way for new elections," say the questions that, according to the KDI, should be sent to the Constitutional Court.
