All for electoral reform, only Vetevendosje against

Is the time right for electoral reform? That is the issue that is being discussed today in Pristina a table organised by the D4D supported by the Swiss Embassy in Kosovo, where civil society and representatives of political parties are also participating.

According to the Vetevendosje Movement, discussion on electoral reform in Kosovo takes place to extend the current government's mandate.

Albulen Haxhiu said VV is not about electoral reform in such circumstances, but must go to the polls.

We're not about electoral reform in such circumstances. in the current circumstances with minority governments and non-functional states, it is unacceptable for this assembly to make electoral reform. It may have no effect, remain as the 2011 reform remains. Questioning this reform takes place to extend the current government's mandate, here I'm not talking about civil society. The best thing for everyone is to go to the elections. A new legitimacy of the Assembly could address the issue of electoral reform”, the VV deputy said.

While Ahmet Isufi said the opposition always has the right to seek new elections, this does not prevent it from moving forward with electoral reform.

Let's not think too much about the effects of the moment but the future. The opposition has the right to demand elections, but this does not prevent it from going further with electoral reform, from continuing with this job in the Assembly. We are about to have electoral reform”, he said.

Edsim Bajrami i The PDK said this is a protracted and unfinished topic.

The political referendum is the most important for electoral reform. The current time is the most appropriate time for electoral reform. The political parties take this issue with the greatest seriousness, he said. The Social Democrat Initiative was hired for election reform.
