Ardian Gola of the Vetevendosje Movement, Vlora Çitaku of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Kujtim Shala of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Emilja Rexhepi of the multiethnic group and Slavko Simić of the Serbian List have been elected new deputy speakers of the Kosovo Assembly.
They were voted in packs.
They received the support of 104 deputies. Three voted against and six abstained.
Last year, the issue of the deputy speaker from the Serbian community led to a deadlock after the majority refused to vote on the candidates proposed by the Serbian List. The Assembly had elected Nenad Rašić as deputy speaker. After this, the Serbian List appealed to the Constitutional Court, which a few days ago granted the Serbian List, as the majority within the Serbian community, the unlimited right to propose a candidate for deputy speaker of the Assembly even after all the names of its deputies had been exhausted.
