It's a new day, but with an old result. The Kosovo Assembly remains unconstituted even after 43 attempts, with this Monday's session ending in failure. Once again, the request of the Vetëvendosje Movement for a secret ballot in the session was not supported, while the candidate for parliamentary speaker, Albulena Haxhiu, challenged other parties to withdraw if she does not triumph on the first try.
"If I don't have 61 votes in a secret ballot, I have said that I will withdraw, so this was the first compromise we made, in fact it was my unilateral position but it was respected by Vetëvendosje, and the second compromise is that let's together overthrow the secret ballot commission and agree on the chairman and vice-chairmen ," declared Albulena Haxhiu, LVV MP.
The deputy leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lutfi Haziri, responded to her.
"The political agreement is made in good faith, a path is established that the constitutional spirit requires. In Kosovo, there are no big winners, there are first winners, winners with the most right and with the right to sit down and work with people, with political parties, with MPs, to find a path, but we are not seeing these yet, we are not seeing them in any situation ," said Lutfi Haziri, LDK MP.
The harshest was the MP from the coalition led by Vetëvendosje, Mimoza Kusari Lila, who stressed that with this crisis and the endless blockade of the assembly, the new lawmakers are jeopardizing their mandate.
"We are aware that legal consequences may follow after this deadline has passed. It has not yet happened that in a legislature the mandate of all members of the assembly has been taken away, but there are 120 members of the ninth legislature, all of whom could have their mandates taken away, to then be followed by other members of parliament who are on the lists of all political parties. This could be one of the possible consequences," said Mimoza Kusari Lila, member of parliament for LVV.
"The dissolution of the Assembly comes when the Assembly fails to elect a government, not when it fails to constitute itself because this is a problem of the first party, it is not a problem of either the individual or the MP, but it is literally a matter of the first party, the leader of the first party finding a way and form to build a political agreement. You cannot have both a procedure and a political agreement, both MPs and ministers, both with bombs and without bombs, this situation does not work," said Lutfi Haziri, MP of the LDK.
The Democratic Party of Kosovo asked the leader of Vetëvendosje, Albin Kurti, to reflect and seek a political agreement to resolve the crisis, which would be accepted by other parliamentary forces. (A2 Televizion)
