The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Lumir Abdixhiku, following the failure to constitute the Assembly, said that this represents a dark episode for parliamentary democracy.
“This is a dark episode in parliamentary democracy — when the winning party does not respect a basic constitutional rule, which states that an elected official cannot simultaneously be a minister, a prime minister, and a member of the Assembly of Kosovo.
The position of the winning party to hold all three roles is unconstitutional and part of a political game intended to prolong the formation of institutions. They must resign from their executive positions, take their seats as MPs, and thus formally begin the constitution of the Assembly,” said Abdixhiku.
He added that Kurti must officially resign, and that LDK will vote for the Verification Commission’s report immediately after this happens.
“We are familiar with this polarizing language. They don’t change, they don’t learn.
Resign, don’t cause more issues. Come to the session — the matter will be resolved immediately.
If they have submitted resignation letters but are still working in office, then what value does that letter hold?
A person who resigns does not continue to work as the Prime Minister of Kosovo. We’re asking for a normal act — a clear resignation — so that the voting process doesn’t drag on.
LDK will vote for the report immediately, with our 20 unwavering votes, once the resignation is official,” Abdixhiku concluded.
