The Democratic Party of Kosovo has reacted after today’s session on the constitution of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo failed, expressing concern over the situation that has arisen. According to the PDK, the failure to constitute the Assembly represents the continuation of the institutional blockade by Albin Kurti and runs counter to the spirit and obligations set out in the Constitutional Court’s ruling.

The party says today’s developments made it clear that the delay in forming the institutions is not related to external circumstances or a lack of votes, but to a political decision by the Vetëvendosje Movement and Albin Kurti.
The PDK stresses that there was no obstacle to proposing a candidate for speaker of the Assembly and holding a vote on its constitution. It recalls that the Constitutional Court clearly determined that the Assembly must not only convene, but also be constituted within 30 days of the certification of the election results.
According to the Democratic Party of Kosovo, today’s inaction constitutes a direct violation of the constitutional order and disregard for the obligations arising from the Constitutional Court’s decision. The PDK emphasizes that no one is above the Constitution and that the institutions of the republic cannot be held hostage to party interests.
The PDK reiterated its position that Kosovo urgently needs functional institutions, political stability and the full implementation of the Constitution.
The Democratic Party of Kosovo called on the Vetëvendosje Movement and Albin Kurti to implement the Constitutional Court’s ruling, end the institutional blockade and enable the constitution of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo without delay.
