The Presidency of the Republic of Kosovo has welcomed the Constitutional Court’s ruling, describing it as confirmation of the legal arguments submitted by the Presidency and clarifying that President Vjosa Osmani committed no constitutional violations.
According to the official statement, the Court emphasized in paragraphs 153, 155, and 190 that the 60-day deadline must be fully exhausted before the 30-day deadline foreseen under Article 86.2 of the Constitution, and that this timeframe is final and binding. The ruling further underlines that it is not the President’s decree that leads the country to elections, but rather the Assembly’s failure to elect a new President.
“The decree is merely a formalization of an existing situation and does not trigger elections; it is the Assembly’s failure to elect the President that causes this process,” the statement reads.
President Osmani welcomed the additional 34-day deadline granted to MPs by the Constitutional Court and called on them to urgently fulfill their constitutional obligation. The Presidency stressed that political claims of constitutional violations reflect a misinterpretation of the ruling and an unnecessary politicization of an already clarified matter.
“We call on the Assembly of Kosovo to set, as early as tomorrow, the date for a new session to elect the President and to fulfill the duty for which they were elected, ensuring stability and security for the country,” the statement concluded.
