The 15th attempt to constitute the Assembly of Kosovo has also failed. As in some of the last sessions, in this one too, the Vetëvendosje Movement has attempted to change the form of voting for the election of the Speaker of the Assembly, from open to secret, but due to the lack of votes, the commission that was supposed to oversee this process has not been formed.
56 MPs voted in favor, one against and no abstentions. The next session is scheduled for Thursday at 10:30.
The Constitution does not specify a deadline for the Assembly to be constituted within how many days or months after the certification of the election results, or after the swearing-in of the deputies. However, the new Rules of Procedure of the Assembly define that “interruptions during the constitutive session cannot be longer than 48 hours.”
But, without the constitution of the Assembly, there is no way to begin counting the days for the election of the new Government.
Only after the Speaker and Deputy Speakers of the Assembly have been elected, the President mandates the candidate for Prime Minister in consultation with the party with the largest number of deputies, which in this case is the Vetëvendosje Movement. The mandate holder, no later than 15 days after the appointment, is obliged to present the composition of the Government and seek approval from the Assembly. The Government is considered elected if it receives the majority of votes of all deputies, or at least 61 votes. (A2 Televizion)
