Civil society representatives and political analysts have warned that failing to constitute the Kosovo Assembly within the timeframe set by the Constitutional Court could deepen the institutional crisis. They caution that political parties may be forced to bring the issue back to the Court to clarify the legal consequences after 30 days.
Experts point to a lack of political will from the election-winning party, Lëvizja Vetëvendosje (VV), as the main cause of an unprecedented deadlock, potentially necessitating judicial intervention to prevent abuse of the law.
Ehat Miftaraj, director of the Kosovo Justice Institute (IKD), told Ekonomia Online:
“Each deputy and political party must do everything possible to constitute Parliament and pave the way for forming the government. When leadership and political will are lacking, all resources lead to a deadlock. If VV does not constitute Parliament within 30 days, the Constitutional Court may be forced to intervene and clarify the abuse of the law.”
Miftaraj added that if VV fails to propose a candidate for Parliament Speaker acceptable to other parties, after 20–25 days, other parties may have no choice but to take the matter to the Constitutional Court.
Political analyst Afërdita Maliqi said that previous Court rulings provide sufficient time and guidance for Parliament’s constitution. However, she noted that VV has already started a new blocking strategy, which could continue unless compromise is reached with another party.
