The Central Election Commission (KQZ) is ready to organise another set of elections after those on October 6th.
Valdete Daka, chairwoman of the CEC, in an interview for Online Economics, said that even though it is challenging to organise even one party of elections, they must meet this constitutional obligation, if required.
And they're assumptions we can't do days, but we're going to organise whenever that choice is because we have a constitutional obligation and it's not in our desire to decide whether we're going to organise it or not, but it's still more than challenging to organise one after one elections.
If the country is going to the polls again, the state has a reserve budget that could be exploited.
Lulzim Rafuna, adviser to the finance minister, has clarified for Online Economy that under this ministry there is a fund that can be used if the country remains without Government.
“We at the Ministry of Finance have been careful and we still have a reserve we haven't planned for elections but it's a reserve under the Ministry of Finance which can be used even if we don't have Government”.
“... if it comes down to having elections we still have a lot of alocus in the Ministry of Finance, but we have to be careful because budgetary divisions can take place by March”
But all of this, according to him, unless elections are held before April last year, because based on the Public Finance Management Law, it allows no domestic payment except for any public debt.
“in the first months of January and February with automatism impededed the 2019 Budget Law, I always say if we don't have a budget approved for 2020, while in March, the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo can make a decision for another month to implement its 2019 budget, but in April and beyond we won't have legal access to”.
“... because the Public Finance Management Law is a deficit that can't be made any domestic payment except for any public debt so if we don't have a budget approved by March that means to be implemented in April and further”.
Early elections were held in the country on 6 October, following Ramush Haradinaj's resignation from the post of head of government, following an invitation for an interview in The Hague.
