The 3-week period of the temporary constitutional measure is considered long

The three-week deadline that the Constitutional Court has to make a decision on the issue of the president and Vjosa Osmani's decree to dissolve the Assembly is considered long. The Court has been asked to be quick and efficient in its decision-making due to the consequences that the current situation may produce.

The three weeks that the Constitutional Court has given itself to make a decision regarding the president's case and the decree to dissolve the Assembly are a lot in terms of the consequences that could be produced, assessed lawyer Korab Sejdiu.

Sejdiu emphasized that the Court is required to be efficient in decision-making, as the interim measure has left two pillars of the state in limbo, the Assembly and the Presidency. 

He said that whatever the decision is, it must be made within a few days and this urgency in decision-making, according to him, should also be the basis for suspending the work of the Assembly.

"The term of the interim measure does not necessarily prejudice the merits decision that the Constitutional Court may take. However, if we take for granted the fact that it often happens that the decision is issued much closer to the date of the interim measure, then my position and advice is that the work of the court be more efficient in this case. The circumstances in which we currently find ourselves as a state and the fact that we have two pillars of power that are currently held in suspense by this measure clearly show that it is necessary for the decision of the Constitutional Court, namely the judgment, to be carried out within a few days and not a few weeks," said Sejdiu.

Five draft laws, one of them for the State Bureau for the Verification and Confiscation of Unjustified Assets, are foreseen by the Government to be forwarded to the Parliament for approval by the end of March at the latest.

But, at least until then, the Assembly, which was dissolved by decree, will be non-functional, as the temporary measure of the Constitutional Court will be in effect.

The Constitutional Court's decision could restore the functionality of the Assembly for at least 60 days or send the country to elections.

Political analyst Artan Muhaxhiri has assessed that it is regrettable that the Constitutional Court has become the only address that resolves political impasses.

"Unfortunately, the Constitutional Court has become the only address for our politicians who fail to behave normally, to make compromises, to make typical political agreements, and for this reason it is now understood that all blockages will be resolved by the Constitutional Court. This is a delegation of political powers to this court and it is very disappointing that political parties, political leaders, do not have the slightest will, nor the courage, nor the knowledge to overcome these blockages with political behavior, with political culture," said Muhaxhiri.

In the decision on the interim measure, the Court emphasized that any action by the President regarding the Decree she issued is prohibited, as well as any action by the Assembly of Kosovo until March 31.
President Osmani issued a decree to dissolve the Assembly, after the Assembly failed to elect a president on the last day of the constitutional term.

Osman's term as president ends on April 4.
