Kadri Kryeziu, former Deputy Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court, commented on the ongoing deadlock in the Kosovo Assembly, which has failed to constitute itself for the 44th consecutive time. Speaking on the TV1 program “Këndi i Debatit,” Kryeziu warned that the current impasse carries serious legal and constitutional consequences for the deputies and political parties involved.
“The 48-hour deadline is set only for two attempts. If it is not realized by the second time, the situation becomes absurd and extraordinary,” he said.
Kryeziu revealed that he has personally communicated with deputies from all parties, asking about the reasons behind the Assembly’s dysfunction.
“The answers I received were worrying — some said they were acting ‘out of spite,’ while others could not even specify when this situation would be resolved,” he added.
Referring to the Constitution and prior Constitutional Court rulings, Kryeziu warned that after the expiration of the 30-day deadline, serious measures could be taken against the deputies.
“Mandates may be revoked, and in certain cases, criminal charges could be pursued. This is because they have taken an oath and violated it by failing to establish the representative institution of the people,” he said.
According to Kryeziu, this failure demonstrates a lack of legal and representative capacity among the deputies to form a functional Assembly, directly endangering the functioning of the state.
He further emphasized that, according to current legislation, punitive measures for political parties that obstruct the formation of the Assembly range from one to six years in cases of non-compliance with constitutional decisions.
