The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has stated that without the Constitutional Court having its say, there cannot be new elections.
“We are in a situation where I don’t believe we can talk about new elections without the Constitutional Court having its say, since we have disagreements and requests before them. They have a matter, which they must now deal with“, Kurti emphasized in a press conference in Kosovo.
According to Kurti, the deputies who were elected for four years in the tenth legislature did not complete even four weeks of their duties.
“Article 86, paragraph 6 of the Constitution provides that the Assembly is dissolved if in the third vote no candidate is elected president. So none of the candidates get 61 votes.
We haven’t gotten there yet. There were two candidates last night, Glauk Konjufca and Fatmire Mulhaxha Kollçaku, but the first round was not even completed, let alone the third.
From the wording of this provision, that is, Article 86 paragraph 6, it is clear that the dissolution of the Assembly is directly related to the end of the voting procedure. So, after three rounds of voting have been held and the third vote has failed to elect the president. Last night we only started the first round, we are by no means at the end of the third round“, declared Kurti.
