Haxhiu: After the formation of the Assembly and Government, the President must be elected

The Speaker of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, has reacted following the approval of the new government, headed by Prime Minister Albin Kurti.

In a Facebook post, she congratulated Prime Minister Kurti and the entire new government, wishing them success in their duties.

Haxhiu said that Kosovo’s institutions face important responsibilities in implementing reforms, promoting economic growth, strengthening the rule of law and improving the international standing of the Republic of Kosovo.

She said that the Assembly would fulfill its role by pursuing the legislative agenda and exercising parliamentary oversight over the work of the executive.

According to Haxhiu, following today’s votes, Kosovo now has its Assembly and Government in place, while the election of the President of the Republic remains to complete the process of establishing the institutions.

The Speaker of the Assembly expressed her expectation that lawmakers would fulfill their constitutional responsibility and that the procedure for electing the President would be successfully concluded.

“Kosovo needs strong, functional and stable institutions, not further waiting and delays,” Haxhiu wrote.
