Representatives of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) have requested that the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly be continued as soon as possible, emphasizing the need to overcome the institutional deadlock.
PDK and AAK MPs have requested that the Assembly session continue at 11:00, while LDK, after withdrawing from negotiations with the Vetëvendosje Movement, has declared that there are no longer any reasons for delays in the constitution of the institutions.
PDK MP, Arian Tahiri, said that his party has made an official request to the Speaker of the Assembly, Avni Dehari, to call for the continuation of the constitutive session.
"He should exercise his duty based on the rules of procedure of the parliament, respect the law, respect the Constitution and call the session so that the parliament can be constituted and we can have normality," Tahiri declared.
He also called on other political entities to participate in the session.
Meanwhile, AAK MP Besnik Tahiri has described the current situation as a "national emergency", claiming that the constitutional order and the functioning of democratic institutions are being jeopardized.
Tahiri warned that if the inability to exercise the mandate of MPs continues, the opposition may take other political actions, once institutional avenues are exhausted.
On the other hand, the LDK on Thursday announced its withdrawal from negotiations with Vetëvendosje and dropped its demands for inclusion in the Government, Parliament or Presidency. The leader of the LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, said that his party only demands that the next president be consensual and non-partisan.
Abdixhiku emphasized that after this decision, there is no longer any reason to delay the constitution of the Assembly and the formation of the Government.
"No one has any more reason, no alibi, and no right to delay the constitution of the Assembly, the formation of the Government, and the start of talks to elect the President of the Republic," he declared.
The continuation of the constitutive session remains the first step towards the functionalization of the new legislature and the exit from the institutional impasse after the June 7 elections.
