The constitution of the Kosovo Assembly fails for the second time, a new date is

Today, the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo has failed to be constituted for the second time, following the early elections of February 9.

The deputies failed to successfully conclude the constitutive session, which was held today under the leadership of Speaker Avni Dehari.

However, after the meeting, Dehari stated that no consensus was reached on further steps, and announced that the session will continue on April 19, Saturday at 12:00.

The opposition parties – PDK, LDK and AAK – accused the Vetevendosje Movement of dragging out the process in order to “buy time for political bargaining”, claiming that Albin Kurti's party does not have enough votes to elect the Speaker of the Parliament and form the new Government.

Another sticking point remains the status of the current cabinet members, who have resigned to take up their mandate as MPs. The opposition insists that they cannot continue in office in the executive branch.

The acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has called these demands meaningless, emphasizing that his Government resigned on March 23 and is exercising its functions in a limited manner until the new executive is established.
