Constitutional Court Rejects VV request for Aida Drcgut dismissal

The Constitutional Court has decided regarding Vetevendosje deputies' request for Aida Drggut's dismissal from the post of deputy head of the Kosovo Assembly. In the end, this court has indicated that the MP's request is without investigation, and the request for temporary measures has been rejected. This request was submitted by twelve deputies [...]
This motion was submitted by twelve Vetevendosje deputies, demanding the suspension of the exercise of Kosovo's Deputy Speaker of the Parliament after the latter had passed to the Social Democratic Party of Shpend Ahmeti.
The court initially estimated that the pre-ators' request is unacceptable, stating that maintaining the deputy head of the Parliament is not directly linked and does not represent the interests of the parliamentary group that has proposed them for that position in the Parliamentary Headship.
The Court, in turn, found that the claim of the petitioners, deputy head of the Parliament, according to Article 67, paragraph 3 of the Constitution, is reserved exclusively for the three largest parliamentary groups, which come out of the votes of political parties or coalitions that have won seats in the Parliament as a result of the Parliament elections, is not based.
In this regard, the Court also recalled that on June 4th 2018, after discussions in the Assembly, which were held about LVV's proposal for the dismissal of Aida Drcgu from the deputy speaker's post of the Assembly, where 94 (nine-four) deputies, 16 (16) deputies had voted for the LV proposal, 26 (sixth) MPs had voted against and 47 (seven deputies) had abstained. Consequently, LVV's proposal did not get the necessary votes under Article 67, paragraph 5 of the Constitution, for Aida Drcgut's dismissal from the deputy speaker's position and, in this case, failed to meet the pre-principle demands in Article 67, paragraph 5, for Aida Drggut to be dismissed from the post of subheading”, says the Constitutional decision.
The court found that decision no. 06/V-145 of the Republic of Kosovo's Parliamentary Group's proposal for the dismissal of Aida Drcgu from the position of deputy head of the Republic of Kosovo's Parliamentary Group is in accordance with Article 7 and 67 of the Constitution. In terms of the pre-launching requirement for the provisional measure, the Court, following its conclusion that the controversial decision is in accordance with articles 7 [Velrat] and 67 [the election of the head and vice president] of the Constitution, concluded that the request is without a review and, as such, the provisional mass requirement was rejected”.
