A tardy, not hasty bill
Last night's bill is in operation to ensure the right to vote for all Kosovo citizens. Our exile, though willing and willing to help our country, has faced various obstacles in its participation in political life in Kosovo. This bill enables the vote of fellow countrymen at the embassies and consulates of the Republic of Kosovo -- that is, the easiest participation in the process from the next election.

By means of this bill, relief is aimed at implementing basic constitutional law for voting and expressing the will of citizens of the Republic with the right to vote. That right so far has been deliberately hampered and none of the past powers have considered it important.
This bill has nothing to do with electoral reform and is based on previous recommendations by the ombudsman. Kosovo has 55 diplomatic missions (28 embassies and 27 consular offices), which also have the front post that should be in the function of voter accession.

 

 

The bill is not a new Law. This is a Law that we as deputies have initiated since the sixth legislature, we have continued to support his approval even in the seventh legislature, and now when appropriate circumstances for his approval were created, we approved yesterday with a positive opinion in Government and forwarded him for approval to the Assembly in the eighth legislature.
In turn, and recently on February 18, 2021, we have warned that this will be one of the first laws we will vote in the Assembly. The vote at embassies and consulates of the Republic of Kosovo is a delayed right. And in previous elections it was the right to be denied.
If of about 170 thousand applications to register for voting from abroad, with no easy bureaucratic procedures and hundreds of euros in payment for postal service, only 56,375 valid votes are accepted, then the problem here is system and institutional. That's why change has to be that way.
Bill on Fulfilling and Changing Law No. 03 L-073 for the General Elections in the Republic of Kosovo is not surprising nor without plan. This bill has been a priority and has received the support of citizens of the Republic in and outside Kosovo. Hence, the adoption of this bill is proper and just, good and beneficial.
If not by accelerated procedure, though we have wasted much time, then with regular procedure. Everything legally to improve such an important law.
Parliamentary parties, which are in the Republic Assembly because of the will of citizens, have no way of being blackmailed by mechanisms that facilitate the expression of citizens' choice, the expression of the will of the people, which is a source of state sovereignty.
There are some people who don't like this bill, but this hysterical panic about the Magyar vote is surprising.
We can't and don't want to move the country into a new election because we want to elect the new president. Those who don't want the President's choice, those who don't love the President, who have fought against it, can take the place to elections. By their choice, they have elections in their hands: either over 80 votes in the box for Vjosa Osmani, or over 500,000 votes in the box for Movement V. I'm sorry.
