Arian Tahiri: Parliament is facing total irresponsibility

PDK MP Arian Tahiri has expressed regret over today’s developments in the Assembly of Kosovo, accusing the Vetëvendosje Movement of abusing the parliamentary institution.

According to Tahiri, the way events are unfolding constitutes irresponsibility not only at the institutional level, but also toward the lives of citizens.

“It is painful to see how the most important institution is being misused. The scenarios may change, but the objective remains the same: undermining and violating the constitutional order. We know that LVV and Kurti have the necessary votes to elect the Speaker of the Assembly. Citizens voted for the institutions to become operational. What is happening in the Assembly shows a complete lack of responsibility and, at the same time, constitutes irresponsibility toward the lives of citizens,” he declared.

The constitutive session of the Assembly of Kosovo has once again been suspended.

The suspension came after VV leader Albin Kurti requested more time to nominate a candidate for Speaker of the Assembly. Kurti explained that the request was related to the lack of a political agreement.

“My communication and meetings, in my capacity as acting prime minister and leader of the winning political entity, the Vetëvendosje Movement, with the leaders of the other parliamentary parties have continued. We have still not reached a political agreement, so I ask you for additional time to avoid new elections,” Kurti said.

Following his request, Alliance MP Time Kadrijaj threw an egg at VV leader Albin Kurti. Because of the incident, presiding officer Dehari asked Assembly security to enter the hall.
