Mimoza Kusari-Lila, MP from the Vetëvendosje Movement (LVV), has stated that in the current political context, the only way to resolve Kosovo’s ongoing institutional crisis is through new parliamentary elections.
She emphasized that the situation in the Assembly of Kosovo has gone beyond normal institutional frameworks, leaving no room for a return to regular functioning.
“Even if the Constitutional Court issues a ruling, in terms of democracy and institutional functionality, the only solution in the current situation is new parliamentary elections. I do not see a possible return to normalcy after this blockade,” Kusari-Lila said.
Kusari-Lila criticized the opposition, arguing that they are avoiding responsibility by seeking recourse through the Constitutional Court, instead of taking accountability through votes in the Assembly.
“Instead of taking responsibility through votes for the obligations they are assigned, deputies seek solutions through the decisions of the Constitutional Court. In such circumstances, it would be more constructive for the country to go to early elections, respecting democracy and the will of the sovereign,” she added.
She also highlighted practical and financial reasons for holding new elections. According to her, it is clear that the government does not yet have the numbers to continue, and any attempt to cooperate with opposition parties seems impossible at this stage.
“The 61 votes needed for the government have not yet been secured. Cooperation with opposition parties depends entirely on their positions, but for the citizens and the credibility of the process, the best solution is new elections,” Kusari-Lila said.
She further accused opposition parties of tactical maneuvering and lack of willingness to cooperate, undermining national stability. She cited the opposition’s absence during the vote for the Assembly’s deputy speaker from the Serb community, Nenad Rashiq, as a clear indicator of their political goals.
“Their absence in the voting process shows that their calculations are not about cooperating with LVV, but about maintaining old partnerships with the Serbian List and cultivating this for a potential government led by the opposition,” Kusari-Lila concluded.
