Kosovo MPs have again failed to constitute the Assembly. At the hearing this Wednesday (August 20), none of the two proposals of the Vetevendosje Movement, Albulena Haxhiu and Donika Gervalla, could receive the votes needed to be elected to the Assembly.
The Vetevendosje Movement initially proposed Haxhiu’s candidacy, which was not accepted by the opposition even in the previous constituent attempts. Haxhiu could only get 57 votes in favor, as the 56 MPs voted against and 3 abstained.
After Haxhiu failed to be elected, Glauk Konjufca proposed Donika Gervalla as a parliamentary candidate. However, it also provided the same support, 57 votes in favor and 56 against, unable to exceed the threshold of 61 votes needed to confirm. The chair of the session, LVV MP Avni Dehari, interrupted the session and notified August 22 of the next meeting.
PDK leader Memli Krasniqi said his party would vote for a LVV candidate for parliamentary leader who has not been part of Albin Kurti’s government.
“If they want solutions, today could finish this job”He said, emphasizing the vote against Albulena Haxhiu and others within the Kurti cabinet.
Both proposals of the Self -Determination Movement, Albulena Haxhiu and Donika Gervalla, are ministers in the government in office of Kosovo.
Meanwhile, the MP of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Hykmete Bajrami, accused the LVV of not being interested in resolving the situation in the Kosovo Assembly.
“The LVV today proposed two candidates who were known in advance that they did not have votes”Said Eid.
Even AAK MP Time Kadrijaj, accused the main ruling party of deliberately proposing candidates who do not have the support of the parties that were in opposition last mandate.
“You will see it! Even in the following sessions, such figures will be proposed that have no support”She said.
Today’s meeting comes two days after the publication of the full judgment of the Constitutional Courtwhich places MPs in the face of some obligations to make it possible to constitute the Assembly.
According to the court ruling, the MPs must elect the Speaker of Parliament through an open vote and within 30 days, the deadline that has entered into force on August 18. Likewise, a candidate cannot be voted on more than three times if he fails to get the necessary votes.
Also, the Constitutional Decision obliges all the deputies elected to be present and to vote during the election of the President and Vice -Presidents of the Assembly of Kosovo.
