Etem Arifi was not supposed to be certified as deputy because he was sentenced to effective prison. It's a total legal responsibility.

Despite the sentence of the firm form of 2019, Arifi participated in two Assembly hearings on March 25th, voting for the collapse of Kurti Government, while at the June 3rd session his vote was crucial to forming the new government run by Avdullah Hoti of the LDK, which was part of the ruling coalition with Vetevendosje for 50 days.
