PDK Calls on Avni Dehari to Continue the Constitutive Session Today

The Democratic Party of Kosovo has called on the chair of the constitutive session, Avni Dehari, to resume the work of the Kosovo Assembly today at 11:00 a.m., with the aim of unblocking the process of constituting the legislature.

The request was conveyed by PDK Secretary Vlora Çitaku in a letter addressed to Dehari.

In the document, the party requests that the session continue pursuant to Article 9 of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo.

According to the PDK, the delay in constituting the Assembly has created a serious situation regarding compliance with the Constitution and the judgments of the Constitutional Court.

“The failure to constitute the Assembly within the prescribed deadline has already created a serious situation with regard to compliance with the Constitution and the judgments of the Constitutional Court,” the PDK’s request states.

The opposition PDK emphasizes that exceeding the procedural deadlines set out in the Assembly’s Rules of Procedure further worsens the situation.

“Failure to comply with the procedural deadlines established by the Assembly’s Rules of Procedure only deepens this situation further,” the letter states.

Referring to the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court, the PDK underscores that the expiry of the constitutional deadline does not remove the obligation to constitute the Assembly.

“The violation of the deadline does not extinguish the obligation to constitute it,” the party’s request emphasizes.
