Session on Saturday, Cakolli: Violation of the constitutional order, MPs to address the Court

Eugen Cakolli from the Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) has assessed that the scheduling of the continuation of the constitutive session of the Assembly for tomorrow, at 11:00, constitutes a clear violation of the Constitution and a violation of the constitutional order. He has called on the deputies to address the Constitutional Court and request the measure of suspension of the session. 

According to him, the chairman of the session, Avni Dehari, had an obligation to call the continuation of the session today, so that the procedure could be completed within the constitutional deadline.

"The 48-hour deadline for the break is a procedural limit and is applied only within the constitutional deadline. Dehari, by setting the extension after the deadline, and LVV, by not exercising the exclusive right to propose within the 30-day deadline, have prevented the deputies from exercising their constitutional rights and obligations," Cakolli wrote on Facebook. 

He added that this decision, together with the actions taken, constitutes a procedural violation, a constitutional violation and a failure to implement the judgment of the Constitutional Court.

For this reason, Cakolli has called for at least ten MPs to address the Constitutional Court immediately after midnight to contest the decision to schedule the session after the deadline has expired, as well as the inactions on August 6 and 7.

He also requested that a temporary measure be sought to suspend the session scheduled for tomorrow at 11:00.
