It has been more than three months since the country entered an institutional crisis.
Even after the 21st attempt, the Assembly has still not been constituted.
For several weeks now, the constitution process has been blocked over the secret ballot vote. Parliamentary groups are refusing to propose names for forming a parliamentary committee responsible for overseeing the secret ballot vote for the Speaker of the Assembly.
Legal expert Mazllum Baraliu says that in the current situation, it is very important for the Constitutional Court to issue a swift verdict on the request submitted by 10 deputies regarding the attempt to hold a secret ballot in the Speaker election.
According to him, a fast decision by the Constitutional Court would change the course of the process.
“I think things would then start moving,” Baraliu told IndeksOnline.
Furthermore, Baraliu insists that a political agreement is urgently needed to resolve the institutional deadlock, which he says has frustrated voters of the involved parties.
“This situation has upset and frustrated the voters of these political parties. Therefore, I believe an agreement between the parties to overcome this deadlock must be reached as soon as possible,” Baraliu said.
He also believes President Vjosa Osmani should make every effort to convince the parties to reach an agreement to resolve the crisis.
“It is a national emergency for the President to make maximum efforts to persuade the parties to reach an agreement, because Kosovo is losing a lot,” Baraliu added.
If the situation continues unchanged, Baraliu says the President should address the Constitutional Court to request clarifications on all issues, including gaps stemming from the 2014 verdict.
Recall that tomorrow at 11:00 AM, deputies will meet for the 22nd time in an attempt to constitute the Assembly. So far, there is still no sign that political parties have moved from their positions.
