Kurti, following the 22nd failed attempt to constitute the Assembly of Kosovo, emphasized that despite the political deadlock, Kosovo continues to have a functioning caretaker government.
Kurti noted that forming the Assembly is not the responsibility of the election winner alone, but of all MPs, and expressed hope for a swift ruling from the Constitutional Court regarding the legality of the secret ballot vote.
“Kosovo has a caretaker government; I remain the acting Prime Minister. What Kosovo needs is a new Assembly. The Assembly is not constituted solely by the winner, but by all. As the election winner with 48 MPs and with 9 minority MPs who have joined us, we hold the responsibility to form the government. However, when it comes to constituting the Assembly, that is the responsibility of all MPs, and they are making a mistake by blocking the quorum for the secret vote,” Kurti said.
He added that since the issue of the secret ballot has already been referred to the Constitutional Court, he hopes for a prompt decision from the judges.
Kurti, however, declined to comment on recent police raids at four locations, which are part of investigations related to the leasing of the animal waste processing plant.
