Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has reacted to the opposition's attacks on him to abandon the government. According to him, the same parties acted similarly when they were in power, while now they are demanding the removal of the Liberal Democratic Party (LVV).
During the Government meeting, Kurti said that those who refused to formally take over the MP's mandate are asking him not to formally be prime minister.
" The constitution of the Assembly yesterday was made impossible because the opposition parties, PDK, LDK, Srpska Lista and AAK, did not vote for the verification of their mandates as deputies. Essentially, those who did not accept to formally take the mandate of the deputy are asking me not to formally be the prime minister. Our government, this government cabinet, has been in office and effectively resigned since March 23 of this year when we have fulfilled our regular and full four-year mandate. From that day until the election of the new government by the ninth legislature of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, our Government exercises all the responsibilities that belong to the executive branch in accordance with the legislation in force. This places the government in a guardian role, to guarantee the continuity, security and uninterrupted functioning of our state, in accordance with the Constitution and the laws of the Republic ," he said.
According to him, in addition to fulfilling his full governing mandate that places him in a caretaker role until the formation of the new government, on behalf of the government cabinet, yesterday he addressed the Assembly with a letter in which he announced the status of the government after March 23, 2025 and his resignation from the executive position, effective only from that date and according to the Constitution and laws in force.
" More than that, it is not possible to resign. More than that would be an abandonment of the institution, an institutional vacuum, political irresponsibility and a threat to national security. It is a request and insistence, said with reckless gentleness to leave the house without a homeowner. The Law on Government makes it clear that a government in resignation continues to exercise its responsibilities (Article 30), although limited (Article 31), until the election of a new government. The meeting today, and the exercise of other government powers, are fully permissible, even mandatory, according to the Law ," Kurti said.
So, as he added, "we have limited functions but there can be no suspension of operations. The state cannot have a governance vacuum. The government cannot have a suspension of operations."
