The Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo has commented on the request submitted by Albulena Haxhiu, asking for the suspension of constitutional deadlines to allow the election of the country’s president within 60 days.
In a response to media inquiries, the court stated that a decision will be made only after reviewing all constitutional aspects of the claims presented in the request.
“The request for the assessment of the constitutionality of the procedure for electing the President of the Republic of Kosovo and for the imposition of a temporary measure was submitted electronically on March 5, 2026,” the court said in its statement.
The institution emphasized that the final ruling will be issued after a thorough examination of all constitutional arguments, in accordance with the Constitution, the Law on the Constitutional Court, and the court’s Rules of Procedure.
Meanwhile, Vjosa Osmani has issued a decree dissolving the Assembly, after lawmakers failed to elect a new head of state within the final constitutional deadline on Thursday evening.
Following the failed session, Haxhiu confirmed that she had formally submitted the request to the Constitutional Court. Earlier today, Osmani reiterated that the Constitution clearly stipulates that procedures for electing the president may begin 60 days before the deadline, but the process must be finalized no later than 30 days before the end of the current mandate.
