The Vetëvendosje Movement has introduced a new proposal that sparked immediate backlash from the opposition. According to this proposal, plenary sessions of the Assembly of Kosovo would be held only once a week, removing the current rule which requires sessions to be called every 48 hours.
This proposal was made by session chair Avni Dehari before the start of today’s parliamentary session.
According to Vetëvendosje representatives, the initiative aims to increase efficiency and avoid ongoing blockages in parliamentary work. However, the proposal has not been well received by opposition parties. The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) strongly opposed it, labeling it as an attempt to limit debate and delay important decision-making.
The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) was absent from the session and did not participate in the discussion on this issue. Ramush Haradinaj’s party was in the village of Shqiponjë (Jabllanicë e Dushkajës) attending a commemorative event marking the anniversary of the village’s liberation, where 43 heroes and martyrs of this sacred land were honored.
Meanwhile, today marked the 17th attempt by the Assembly to hold a session aimed at electing the Speaker of Parliament, which once again failed. This institutional deadlock has been ongoing for weeks, deepening the political crisis and raising concerns about the functionality of the state’s institutions.
