Political stalemate continues, 18th attempt to constitute Kosovo's Assembly

Even the 18th attempt to constitute the Assembly of Kosovo has not yielded results.

In the continuation of the session held this Monday, there were again not enough votes to form a committee for a secret ballot to elect the Speaker of the Assembly.

The issue of secret balloting – which was proposed on May 1 by the chair of the session, Avni Dehari, after the Vetëvendosje Movement (LVV)'s nominee for Speaker of the Assembly, Albulena Haxhiu, failed in several votes to receive the 61 votes needed to be confirmed in the post – has been sent to the Constitutional Court of Kosovo by the parties that were in opposition in the previous legislature.

They say that the way LVV is attempting to have the speaker of parliament voted through a secret ballot is unconstitutional, and they have asked the Constitutional Court to take "a temporary measure to prohibit the holding of sessions, until it addresses this matter as a priority and makes a decision."

The next session will be held on Wednesday at 11:00.
