It will take us another two weeks for the Assembly to start its work and the parliamentary committees to do the same. The date when the new parliamentary session will start is January 19. In a live link for News24, journalist Ergys Gjençaj said that the start of the plenary sessions is expected to be ceremonial, as the opposition will continue its action in the Assembly against the majority. It is expected to be a heated session in terms of reports, dynamics and political debates. In the previous session, the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, declared that his parliamentary group severed relations and cooperation for participation in two committees, the territorial reform and the electoral one. On the other hand, the majority gave him time that he would wait until the start of the parliamentary session, if 'the opposition would return to the legal path'. Meanwhile, Balla warned that if the opposition did not return to the work in the Assembly, its members would be replaced.

But another issue left pending from the last session is the request of SPAK that requested the lifting of immunity and then obtaining permission to arrest Belinda Balluku. At the meeting on December 19, there was the first meeting of the Mandates and Immunity Council, and after 5 hours of discussions there was no decision. Currently, there is no fixed date for when the Mandates Council will meet. The DP, for its part, has made 3 requests for a meeting of the Rules Council, but none of them were convened. We recall that on January 22, the Constitutional Court will begin examining the merits of the Balluku case.

Meanwhile, 5 DP deputies have filed another request to Pelesh to convene the Mandates Council tomorrow on the Balluku issue, while there has been no response from the Assembly yet.
