Following the decision of the Constitutional Court regarding President Vjosa Osmani’s request concerning the members of the Central Election Commission (CEC), the first reactions have come from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK).
Betim Gjoshi, from this political party, stated that the ruling declaring Osmani’s request inadmissible was expected.
He called on Osmani to urgently appoint the second PDK representative to the CEC, ensuring proportional representation of the largest parliamentary parties and maintaining political pluralism within the election institution.
“The Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo [Article 139, Paragraph 4] regarding the composition of the CEC, and the institutional practice previously followed by Osmani herself [2021] – are sufficient evidence of PDK’s right, as the second-largest parliamentary group, to be represented in the CEC with two members,” wrote Gjoshi, a former CEC member from PDK.
