(9 years ago)For about a month, the Kosovo Assembly held no single session. Parliamentary debate has not even been heard in the first week of the campaign, until all MPs are on the verge of meeting citizens to support their associate-partisans at the local level.

The head of the Parliament only late last night, after international criticism, decided to call the session's continuation on October 2nd, the Zeri newspaper writes today.
The functioning of the Assembly has remained under the shadow of the pre-election campaign. Political parties already focus on local elections (to be held on October 22nd) and not on the Parliament.
That is how lawmakers consider connoisseurs, who say the Assembly must be functional despite the campaign for the October 22nd elections already officially launched.
The Kosovo Assembly has held its last session 11 days before the campaign officially begins, while after a considerable break, following the international community's appeal has decided late last night to call the session's continuation for 2 October.
Despite this, the ruling parties have said that all parliaments when they have local elections have an agreement not to debate in the Assembly, while the opposition consider that not calling sessions so far has been a completely unacceptable act.
