The Kosovo Democratic Institute (IKD) has assessed that the extraordinary session of the Kosovo Assembly, convened to discuss rising fuel prices and the cost of living, was marked by a “lack of institutional responsibility.”
According to IKD, this lack of accountability meant that the session, one of the few held recently by the Assembly, lacked the seriousness necessary for debating issues of public interest.
“The absence of a significant portion of deputies—from both the government and the opposition—makes it clear that the Assembly is losing its weight as a forum where citizens’ real problems are addressed, and where decisions have actual substance,” IKD emphasized.
The statement also highlighted that the use of non-parliamentary language, constant interruptions, and interjections from deputies and government officials reflect a degradation of debate standards and a lack of respect for the institution.
“This approach not only harms the functioning of the Assembly but also trivializes topics that have a direct impact on citizens’ welfare and economic stability,” concluded the Kosovo Democratic Institute.
