The timing of the constitutive session of Kosovo’s Assembly depends on the legal deadlines following the decision of the Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP/PZAP), according to Vullnet Bugaqku from the Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI).
Speaking to GazetaBlic, Bugaqku said that a 48-hour period must first pass to determine whether any appeals will be filed with the Supreme Court against the recent PZAP decisions.
“We must wait to see whether, within the next 48 hours, there will be appeals submitted to the Supreme Court by dissatisfied parties regarding these PZAP decisions,” Bugaqku explained.
If no appeals are filed within the legal deadline, the Central Election Commission (CEC/KQZ) is obliged to convene and proceed with the certification of the election results.
Once the results are certified, the President of Kosovo is constitutionally mandated to open the path for convening the constitutive session of the Assembly, which must be held and concluded within 30 days from the date of certification of the elections.
“From the moment the election results are certified, the way is opened for the President to schedule the constitutive session of the Assembly, which must take place and be completed within 30 days from the day of certification,” Bugaqku added.
The upcoming days are therefore crucial for determining the institutional timetable, as the absence or presence of Supreme Court appeals will directly shape the next constitutional steps.
