Gjini: The “Kurti 4” government is unconstitutional, the Alliance will turn to the Constitutional Court

The “Kurti 4” government was voted in today at an extraordinary session of the Assembly of Kosovo, receiving 62 votes in favor.

Today, the Assembly also elected LDK member Kujtim Shala as deputy speaker, while Emilja Rexhepi and Tanja Vujoviq from the Serb List were elected by the non-Serb communities.

With the election of the deputy speakers, according to Speaker Albulena Haxhiu, the eleventh legislature of the Assembly of Kosovo, which had begun its work on Sunday, was also constituted.

The PDK did not participate in the plenary session and, consequently, withdrew Vlora Çitaku’s candidacy for deputy speaker.

Meanwhile, Ardian Gola had been elected deputy speaker on Friday.

Alliance leader Ardian Gjini opposed the vote on the government, describing it as unconstitutional and illegitimate.

In a Facebook statement, Gjini announced that the party he leads would refer the matter to the Constitutional Court and request priority consideration.

“The government voted in today is unconstitutional and illegitimate. The Alliance will turn to the Constitutional Court, and we expect it to address the matter as a priority, since the foundations of constitutionality are being shaken,” Gjini wrote.

Alliance deputy leader and lawmaker Besnik Tahiri also reacted sharply after the Assembly session, describing the new parliamentary majority as “directionless.”

Tahiri said that, after nearly two years marked by political, institutional, constitutional and economic crises, Kosovo now has an unconstitutional Assembly and government.

“A majority that produces crises at a time when the country faces decisions vital to its history, as well as its future,” he wrote.

The Alliance lawmaker accused the new majority of “political crises and games,” claiming that “a great deal of scheming and irresponsibility” had been evident over the past two days alone.

He also questioned lawmakers’ positions regarding the Serb List’s anti-state statements, saying that the vote in the Assembly showed how sincere those positions had been.

According to Tahiri, citizens have once again heard the same promises from the Kurti 4 government, but have seen no concrete results.

“Millions spent without a single project completed. This is happening at a time when the price crisis has made citizens’ lives more difficult, when fuel has reached 1 euro and 83 cents, electricity bills have peaked, and inflation for the same period has risen to 7.3%,” Tahiri wrote.

In conclusion, he strongly criticized the government, saying that “these people have lost their direction” and that they are also causing the people and the state to lose theirs.
