Ehat Miftaraj from the Kosovo Law Institute told Radio Free Europe that while the Assembly must be constituted within 30 days of the certification of the results, failure to do so "does not automatically produce legal consequences."

This means that we don't necessarily need to go to early elections.

According to him, this situation "delegitimizes everything," and if the president is not elected by October 5, the country will go to elections.

The Central Election Commission certified the results on July 8, 2026. The deadline began on July 9. This means that the Assembly has until midnight tomorrow to be constituted.
