Less likely Kurti and others will be certified as MPs' candidates

A day before the PZAP answers several political parties' complaints about the failure to schedule lists for candidates for MPs, little hope is being seen for Vetevendosje Movement leader Albin Kurti and others to be certified as candidates for MPs. To the former prime minister and 46 other candidates, who according to the CEC have firm sentences in the past three years and are opposed to the Constitutional Act, are not expected to be made a ruling in favour of them by PZAP and the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, the latter are expected to certificate LVV lists, The AAK and Initiative saw the same candidates for MPs on their lists.

A day before the PZAP answers several political parties' complaints about the failure to schedule lists for candidates for MPs, little hope is being seen for Vetevendosje Movement leader Albin Kurti and others to be certified as candidates for MPs.

Meanwhile, the latter are expected to certificate LVV lists, The AAK and Initiative saw the same candidates for MPs on their lists.

Researchers at the Kosovo Institute for Justice, Yll Zeqaj, tells Kosovo that the Constitutional Court has created a new rate with its act of judgment, and the same is binding for other institutions.

On the basis of this Constitutional Court ruling, it is unlikely that complaints in this dispute, for which these 47 candidates for MPs accept these decisions are unlikely to change or say no possibility. [...] Now we have a new judicial situation created with a Constitutional Court ruling which is binding. We do not expect that neither the PZAP nor the Supreme Court can do so, respectively, to fail to comply with this request of the Constitutional Court for reasons that the same is binding. If we look at the slide, which is the part you owe, it doesn't leave room for interpretation”, he says.

Rhese Hoxha of the Group for Jury and Political Studies tells Kosovo that the Supreme Court is the last instigation expected to make a decision regarding the certificate, or not of candidate lists for MPs from political parties.

But according to her, there may be complaints in the Constitutional Court, but the same one is not expected to influence this phase of procedure, and the CEC will continue to carry out its work, according to the Supreme Court's decision.

What can happen is for the candidate to send the case to the Constitutional Court, but sending it to this phase of the procedure. Since the CEC does its job, following the Supreme Court's decision. What can happen if we have the Constitutional Court's decision on this situation to set a standard for future elections. But for the phase we're in right now is the Supreme Court is the last and third instigation over complaints they may have against the CEC's decision, it states.

Meanwhile, IKD lawyer Yll Zekiaj points to his expectations from PZAP or the Supreme Court, which he says the same can certified political subjects' lists by not including persons who have not been replaced and contradicted Article 29, point “q” of the Election Law.

“in the case of a review of complaints by PZAP now, the same could certificate political subjects' lists by not including persons who have not been replaced and conflict with the CEC's findings for which the lists have not been certified. This may be done by the Supreme Court, and we may also have a complaint that may be approved that has not been properly measured in the three years of our sentence, he says.

Kosova Prees has also received an answer from PZAP Secretariat leader Mula Descu, who indicated the courses are under consideration and appeals have not yet been decided. His decisions will be made by tomorrow, just as they are before them by law.

The PZAP and the Supreme Court decisions by the CEC say they will be respected overall.

“The CEC is awaiting the PZAP's review and decision regarding complaints which were submitted to the institution. As we had known before. The CEC will act in accordance with PZAP's decisions, as well as the Supreme Court”, CEC spokesman Valmir Elezi for Kosovas has said.

At Friday's meeting, the CEC did not specify lists of candidates for deputies from LVV, AAK, Initiative and some parties of communities, not majority. The same ones in the 24-hour deadline handed out complaints to PZAP, while as a possibility, they have the next degree of complaint in the Supreme Court.
