The Legal Director of the Prime Minister's Office, Erald Jonuzaj, has presented the government's arguments to the Constitutional Court regarding the appeal against the suspension of Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku. According to Jonuzaj, the decision of the Constitutional Court violated the powers of the executive branch and constitutional principles.

“Based on the Code of Legal Procedure, Article 22 provides that the deputy enjoys immunity and cannot be detained while exercising his duties. The Constitution establishes an equality between the status of the deputy and the minister: the minister enjoys immunity for his duties and for his personal security while exercising his function,” said Jonuzaj.

He added that the Prime Minister's Office has come before the Constitutional Court to protect the executive power and to clarify the infringement of the powers of the Council of Ministers. "Are security measures unlimited? Can they be imposed on anyone or are there limitations?" asked the legal director, emphasizing the importance of respecting constitutional principles.

The Constitutional Court is expected to review the arguments of the Prime Minister's Office and decide on the legality of Balluk's suspension. "If we look at the basis of the Code of Legal Procedure, Article 22 of the main provisions states that the deputy enjoys immunity and cannot be detained while exercising his duties. The degree of equality between the deputy and the minister is established in the Constitution. The deputy enjoys immunity for his duties and for personal security while exercising his function. We have come before the Constitutional Court due to the infringement of executive power. We have dealt with this issue extensively, highlighting the infringement of the powers of the Council of Ministers. Are security measures unlimited? Can they be imposed on anyone, or are there limitations?" said Jonuzaj.
