LVV calls for its third representative on the CEC

The Vetëvendosje Movement has requested that its third representative also be appointed to the Central Election Commission.

Hysen Durmishi, who has just been sworn in as an LVV member of the CEC, said that Acting President Albulena Haxhiu would decide on the matter.

“The Vetëvendosje Movement has also requested its third member; the acting president will decide on this,” Durmishi said after being appointed as a member of the CEC.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo also claims a second seat in the institution. However, Rashit Qalaj, the PDK representative on the CEC, declined to comment to the media on the matter.

Albulena Haxhiu, in her capacity as acting president, appointed the new members of the Central Election Commission on Monday.

Under the decision, only nine members of the body that administers the country’s electoral processes were appointed, while the tenth position remains unfilled. LVV and PDK are both claiming this seat.

LVV will be represented on the CEC by Hysen Durmishi and Violeta Durmishi.

PDK will be represented by Rashit Qalaj, LDK by Ilir Fetahu, and AAK by Muharrem Nitaj. The other four members come from non-majority communities.

During the previous term, Acting President Albulena Haxhiu also did not appoint the tenth member of the CEC. LVV is claiming the post as its third representative, while PDK is seeking it as its second representative.
