In an effort to resolve a long-standing institutional stalemate, the Assembly of Kosovo has approved a significant change in the voting procedure for key decisions, including appointments to independent institutions and the election of high-level officials.
The newly adopted procedure mandates the use of secret ballot voting, in accordance with the 2014 ruling of the Constitutional Court, which clearly stipulates this method as essential to safeguarding institutional independence and ensuring constitutional compliance in decision-making processes.
The Speaker of Parliament emphasized that this change is necessary to restore the functionality of institutions and rebuild public trust in democratic processes, particularly in appointments that require integrity and impartiality.
This development comes at a critical moment for the country, as delays in institutional appointments and procedural deadlocks have seriously affected the regular functioning of the state and eroded public confidence in governance.
