A Parliament deputy has proved positive as many more tests are being conducted.

The hearings can be held online, but for such a thing it takes the support of 2/3 of the Parliament. In an answer to RTV Dukagjin, from the Parliament Speaker's Office, shows procedures that must be passed to hold online sessions.

The current resolution of the Kosovo Assembly does not envision holding online sessions. To change this regulation, 2/3 of the votes in the Assembly are needed. Consequently, political will and time are needed to pass through such a matter”, the chairman's Cabinet's response says.

Vetevendosje Movement MP says he would support such an initiative and expects the Parliament's Headship to bring the proposal soon.

“I believe we can look at other options, such as those that the Assembly sessions are virtual or even parliamentary commission meetings are virtual. This is the only way we can do our job. Unlike the circumstances we are in and the infections we have within the Kosovo Assembly is not that we risk our health but also that of our family”, Fitim Uka said, sends the telegram.

Reviewing the budget is one of the issues awaiting MPs' votes. Skender Krasniqi from the Kosovo Afarism Oda says MPs should become together and come to the aid of the private sector.

“It is an emergency need for the Government of Kosovo, together with the deputies of the Parliament and parliamentary parties to unify in this direction and to give more support to the private sector so that it does not come to a state collapse as the decline of business affects the heads of the state”, Skender Krasniqi said.

Kosovo government is one of the public institutions that has held meetings several times online
