KDI seeks interpretation from Constitutional Court on Assembly after 30-day deadline

The Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) has reacted to the situation surrounding the constitution of the Assembly, assessing that the process could be completed even after the expiry of the 30-day constitutional deadline. However, according to KDI, the matter requires legal clarification.

According to the institute, the constitution of the Assembly is important for the functioning of the institutions and for overcoming the institutional crisis.

KDI has requested that the Constitutional Court determine the legal consequences of failing to comply with the 30-day deadline, as well as the impact that constituting the Assembly after the expiry of this deadline would have.

“This is an issue that must be addressed through constitutional mechanisms and by the competent institutions,” KDI said in its statement.

The institute has called on deputies and authorized parties to request an interpretation of the legal status of the constitution of the Assembly after the deadline expires, as well as the validity of actions that will be carried out after its constitution.

KDI has emphasized that this issue goes beyond the current crisis, as it is also linked to how Kosovo’s constitutional order will function in the future.

“The citizens of Kosovo need institutions that function, but they equally need these institutions to operate within the constitutional order,” the statement concludes.
