PDK MP Përparim Gruda has reacted after today’s decision of the Constitutional Court, which examined the PDK’s request regarding the constitutionality of the actions of the Assembly and the Government.

According to Gruda, this ruling by the country’s highest court fully confirms the positions that his party has continuously defended during this period.

He listed the main points of the decision, emphasizing that only 13 days remain to take concrete steps, including the approval of amendments to the Law on the Specialist Chambers of Kosovo in The Hague.

“It has been found that the Constitution was violated due to the failure to form the Assembly within the prescribed 30-day period,” he stressed.

Further, Gruda explained that the constitutional deadline for electing the head of state began on August 8 and ends definitively on October 6. This, according to him, means that the Vetëvendosje Movement has no right to manipulate these deadlines for political gain, nor to steer the country toward early elections on December 27, as it had planned.

The MP also added that the position of Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, which belongs to the PDK, must be filled, and that this role cannot be ignored or held hostage by the will of the majority in parliament.

“We now have only 13 days to act: to approve the changes to the Law on the Special Court, to elect the President of the Republic, and to prevent new elections. The deadline is short and the responsibility is now undeniable,” he warned.

At the end of his statement, Gruda reaffirmed that today’s decision reinforces an essential principle: “constitutional deadlines are not subject to political will, and the Fundamental Law cannot be shaped according to momentary interests”.

Vetëvendosje Movement MP Arbëreshë Kryeziu-Hyseni has called on the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo to participate in today’s Assembly session, where the constitution of the eleventh legislature is expected to take place.

As she was entering the Kosovo Assembly building, Kryeziu-Hyseni explained why LVV has changed its position regarding the voting of Vlora Çitaku and Kujtim Shala for deputy speaker posts.

She said she hopes the opposition parties will reconsider their stance and that the Assembly constitution process will proceed.

“I hope the opposition parties will change their position and we can move forward with the constitution of the Assembly. The Vetëvendosje Movement has acted the same way as during these last two years, taking steps to help unblock the situation created by the continuous blockade of these opposition parties. I hope the MPs will be present in the session today. After all, the court ruling determines their participation in the vote as an obligation, so that we can constitute the Assembly and proceed with other processes,” she stated.

According to her, discussions were held within the LVV parliamentary group regarding the names proposed by the two political parties. After these discussions, the LVV leadership decided to support both candidates, with the aim of ending the blockade.

Ardian Gjini, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), announced that the party’s leadership has reviewed the current political developments and the institutional situation in the country.

In a statement posted on Facebook, he said the discussions focused on the political crisis and what he described as an “unprecedented institutional deadlock” in Kosovo.

“From the first days after voting ended, our position has been entirely constructive and supportive of establishing properly functioning institutions,” Gjini wrote.

According to him, the AAK has made a political proposal that could have helped resolve the institutional impasse. However, he claimed that the offer was not considered by the party that came first in the elections.

Gjini raised concerns over delays in constituting the Assembly, warning that Kosovo could face a further deepening of the institutional deadlock.

He also criticized the way the winning party is treating institutions and laws. He claimed that some of these actions are undermining institutional independence and the constitutional order.

According to Gjini, the current situation is also having consequences for the economy, healthcare and education, as well as Kosovo’s image on the international stage.

Concluding his statement, Gjini said the AAK would continue its political efforts to overcome the crisis and restore the normal functioning of institutions.

“The Alliance will remain committed to protecting our state-building project and will use every political opportunity to restore normality and development to the country,” he wrote.

Mefail Bajqinovci, who recently won a parliamentary seat from the Vetëvendosje Movement, has asked the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo to clarify their position regarding the return of judges from the Serb community who resigned.

According to him, Kosovo’s citizens have the right to know transparently whether these two political forces support or oppose their return to the country’s judicial system. He stressed that in such cases, silence is not an acceptable stance.

In a full social media post, Bajqinovci emphasized the necessity of a clear response from PDK and LDK on this issue, which he linked to orders from Belgrade for the judges’ resignations.

“Citizens deserve an unequivocal answer: are you in favor of their return to the institutions of our Republic, or are you against?” he wrote, adding that on topics that affect sovereignty and the functioning of state institutions, there is no room for evasiveness.

He closed his message by insisting that the time has come for both parties to clearly articulate their position.

In an interview for “Euronews Albania”, Svecla said he expects a greater engagement from Albania in the face of these stances.

“Of course, since Albania is the motherland of Albanians and since the very Constitution of Albania obligates the protection of Albanians and their interests, I expect more. That means I expect a factual, active response to these threats. Because these are not just statements, they are also threats, which are based on the past, as I said, our very painful one, and on Serbia’s behavior,” he said.

According to the acting minister, Tirana should have a more concrete and active stance towards this situation.

“She has been a deputy, where she was part of the Serbia–Albania friendship group, in which, unfortunately, Serbian chauvinists have participated. There needs to be an unmasking of this two-faced behavior of Belgrade, because there are no problems with Kosovo, but problems with Albanians,” Svecla declared.

Asked whether she would remain in the chamber and support such a deal, including the election of the president, Ymeri said that at this stage she cannot give a final position.

“I can’t say anything now. It depends on how events unfold later. For example, who is being proposed for president, and so on,” Ymeri said.

Later, the MP elaborated further on this statement through a Facebook post.

“As you may have heard on Debat Plus, tonight I was asked whether I would remain in the chamber for the President:

1. It depends on who will become President and what the course of events will be, so I will consider it like any other decision in the Assembly.

By the course of events, I meant moments such as crises, protests and unrest surrounding this decision if no agreement is reached, because in such cases priorities change.

2. A political agreement does not mean that it overrides or makes me underestimate the vote of the 27,480 voters for Janina Ymeri,” she clarified.
