(8 years ago)The Democratic League of Kosovo has accused the ruling parties of violating the law for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Diplomatic Ministers by appointing for ambassadors, as it has said, political and party militants, and ignoring the legal requirement not to exceed 50% quotas in political appointments under an LDK communique today, [...]
According to an LDK communique, today, the Commission's deputy chairman from the AAK ranks has called the Assembly of the Foreign Affairs Commission for interviewing both candidates for political ambassadors proposed by the MPJ.
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Democratic League of Kosovo considers this process illegal, and for this reason the head of the Commission for Foreign Affairs, MP Vjosa Osmani and MP Doruntine Maloku, have refused to participate in this meeting and become part of the constitutional violations”, the communiqué says.
According to the LDK, Article 7.7 of the Law for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Diplomatic Service of the Republic of Kosovo requires at least 50% of those appointed as head of missions to be career ambassadors, while the rest are political appointed.
Because the percentage of political appointees at the Kosovo Embassys worldwide has already been exceeded and reached about two-thirds, which the foreign minister himself confirmed. Pacolli, representatives of the LDK in the Commission, have proposed that there be no new political appointments until the quota of 50/50, required by law”, says LDK
LDK Parliamentary Group considers signing such recommendations on the part of Kosovo president conflicts with law and exceeds its constitutional competencies
