Kosovo is currently in a state of political uncertainty, with the parliamentary assembly still unable to elect a Speaker or move forward with the formation of a new government. According to former judge Kadri Kryeziu, the political deadlock could extend for up to two months.
“There is no constitutional deadline for the election of the Speaker. The constitutional deadline is for the parliament to convene, and the largest party, which has the most deputies, sends the name for the mandate,” said Kryeziu in an interview with DPT Te Fidani on Klan Kosova.
Once the mandate is given, the process involves 15 days for the nominee to form a government, followed by 10 days for finalizing the steps, but this can cumulatively extend up to 60 days. After 60 days, extraordinary elections would be called if the situation remains unresolved.
Kryeziu emphasized that the current blockade is not a legal or constitutional issue but rather a political one, stemming from the ongoing stalemate among the political parties. This crisis has led to frustration as Kosovo’s leaders struggle to find common ground and move the country forward.
