The Vetëvendosje Movement announced on Thursday afternoon that it has asked the Constitutional Court to assess the constitutionality of the Supreme Court's decision, which a day earlier dismissed this party's appeal against a decision of the Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP) regarding postal voting.
She said she has also asked the Constitutional Court to impose "temporary measures against an absurd and politically influenced decision of the Supreme Court."
"In these circumstances, a decision as soon as possible regarding the request for a temporary measure would be the only possibility of preventing the alienation and deformation of the expressed will of citizens in the elections of February 9, 2025," LVV wrote on Facebook.
The Vetevendosje Movement has repeatedly demanded the cancellation of the postal votes won by the Democratic League of Kosovo and a rerun, accusing this party of "manipulation".
The Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed as unfounded the appeal of the Vetevendosje Movement against the decision of the ECAP, which had not accepted its request to cancel the postal votes and proceed to a postal re-vote.
The LDK has rejected the LVV's accusations, saying that the request to cancel the postal votes is being made "only because they don't like the result."
Over 84,000 Kosovo citizens in exile had chosen to vote by mail for the February 9 elections, according to the Central Election Commission (CEC). The LVV won the most votes from postal voting, 51.57 percent, leaving the LDK in second place with 30.55 percent of the vote.
The decision by Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party to appeal to the Constitutional Court comes on the day the Central Election Commission certified the final results of the February 9 elections.
The two LVV members of the CEC, Sami Kurteshi and Alban Krasniqi, opposed the certification of the election results at this time.
Kurteshi warned this at the CEC meeting, saying that "we will follow legal channels and will also send it to the Constitutional Court for a temporary measure for the non-implementation of this part of the votes."
The certification of the results of the February 9 parliamentary elections has paved the way for the formation of new Kosovo institutions, but the LVV's appeal to the Constitutional Court may be a new obstacle.
The LVV won the February 9 elections with 42.30 percent of the vote, leaving behind the Democratic Party of Kosovo with 20.95 percent and the Democratic League of Kosovo with 18.27 percent.
Neither party managed to secure at least the 61 seats needed in the 120-member Assembly to form the new Government on its own.
So, it seems that coalitions will have to be formed for the new executive./ REL (A2 Televizion)
