Former Constitutional Court judge Kadri Kryeziu said that the election of the new president must be completed no later than October 6. Otherwise, he said, the country will be headed toward snap elections.

“The deadline is October 6. If the Constitutional Court’s judgment is implemented, Parliament will be dissolved through a decree by the acting president. Then, through another decree, snap elections will be called, and they must be held within 45 days,” Kryeziu told Front Online.

The full judgment of the Constitutional Court was published on September 29. In it, the Court assessed that Parliament had been constituted and that the election of the “Kurti 4” Government was in line with the Constitution.

The document also set October 6 as the final date by which Kosovo’s president must be elected.

The Court clarified that the Assembly Presidency may continue its work without a deputy speaker under certain circumstances, as long as a quorum exists. However, it requested that the deputy speaker from the PDK be elected as soon as possible.

If the president is not elected by October 6, the judgment stipulates that elections must be held within 45 days.

Former Constitutional Court Judge Kadri Kryeziu has stated that Kosovo’s president must convene the first constitutive session of the Assembly within 30 days of the certification of the results, but this does not mean that the institution must necessarily be formed during that session.

During the “Speciale” program on Klan Kosova, Kryeziu explained that the session may also be convened before the end of this deadline, while after it is called, the sessions may be postponed. According to him, the Assembly’s Rules of Procedure stipulate that meetings must be held every 48 hours until the Assembly’s structures or leadership are elected.

He assessed that, although the session was convened within the 30-day period, it was delayed and, in his opinion, should have been held earlier.

Kryeziu added that it would be more beneficial for the Assembly to be constituted today or tomorrow, together with all its mechanisms.
