Albin Kurti is the duty prime minister of the Republic of Kosovo and the Prime Minister is his job.
This was the response that Kosovo’s duty spokesman Perparim Kryeziu gave the interest of the country’s media in connection with the European Union’s decision to suspend meetings with Kurti and his cabinet ministers within the European Union executive building until a full -time government is established.
“Anyone seeking a meeting with the Prime Minister in office of the Republic of Kosovo should come to the place where the Prime Minister works. However, this does not mean that no work meetings can be held outside his office, but there must be agreement on the parties. Meetings outside the premises of the Prime Minister’s Office have taken place in the past, even when it has been full, mandated,Kryeziu explained to the media.
The day before, local media published a letter dated August 8, where the European Union Ambassador to Kosovo, Aivo Orav, informs Kurti that the EU has taken the decision to suspend meetings outside the Prime Minister’s building after the “June 25 Supreme Court’s verdict”, in which an administrative instruction was invalid.
The Supreme Court of the country argued that the issuance of bylaws or administrative guidelines by the ministers who are MPs is unlawful and violates the constitutional provisions.
“In accordance with this judgment and in the interest of institutional sustainability and respect for the rule of law, high-level visitors from EU member states and EU institutions will temporarily avoid holding meetings with the Prime Minister and Ministers in office within the Kosovo Government, until a full mandate government comes,“It is written on the letter.
