The Kosovo Assembly was not even constituted on Sunday, July 13, and thus the deputies have marked the 46th time that they have gathered, accused each other and not finalized the process. Despite the fact that the deputies of each party insist on the importance of forming new institutions, they still do not waver from their opposing positions. The session of July 13 was attended by 82 deputies.
The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Serbian List, the largest Serb party in Kosovo, refuse to propose a candidate for the formation of a secret ballot commission, arguing that the method of changing the voting is unconstitutional.
The Vetëvendosje Movement - winner of the most votes in the February 9 elections - is demanding that Albulena Haxhiu - proposed for Speaker of Parliament - be voted on only once through secret ballot and if she does not secure the necessary 61 votes, she will withdraw from the race.
She has not secured the necessary votes in several consecutive sessions that have been held with open voting. For some parties, she is a divisive and unacceptable figure. The parties continue to fail to find a compromise even though the deadline set by the Constitutional Court for the constitution of the Assembly is running out.
Although the court has set July 26 as the deadline for constitution-making, it has not provided further details on what will happen next if the parties do not reach an agreement by then. Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani met with representatives of political parties days ago, in the hope of finding a solution, but the situation has not changed.
She also mentioned the possibility of addressing the Constitutional Court for additional clarifications. Members of civil society have protested several times in front of the Parliament building, calling MPs to account./ REL
