No sessions, next day.

The Kosovo Assembly session has been interrupted to continue another day, and by that voting has been postponed for the dismissal of five members of the Independent Council for the Kosovo Civil Service.

After the pause, the Parliament still failed to vote on this agenda point, and after a consultation by Parliamentary Group chiefs Bekim Arifi with the heads of the Parliamentary Groups, it was decided that sessions will be postponed.
Otherwise, before the Kosovo Assembly went on pause only 55 MPs participated in the voting process, this agenda was postponed in the absence of decision-making.
However, the push for the dismissal of this council was rejected by the opposition and considered an arbitrary tendency to capture institutions.
Vetevendosje Movement MP Armend Muja, arguing the dismissal, said the same should be done because of politicisation and unprincipled appointments.
“We are seeking to vote on the dismissal of these members because of politicisation and unprincipled appointments that have been one of the main concerns of the EU, which have emerged in the progress report from 2013 to 2020. Politicalisation and nepotistic and not meritive nomination... this board is not meritive, it is political by nature”, Muja said.
MP Muja rejected this reasoning from his colleague from the ranks of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, parliamentary group chief Abelard Tahiri, who said that by this move the majority deputies are doing criminal work.
Becoming the deputy of the Kosovo Assembly does not mean that you have the opportunity to abuse official duty. Just like the minister, we've had cases when they were charged with misusing official duty. Today these deputies who are sponsors of this initiative, not those who vote, are doing a clean criminal act. Misusing the MP's position, proposing the dismissal of these members without legal grounds and the decision of any court that these have taken actions contrary to the law. On the other hand, you cannot make collective assessments, but for each”, Tahiri said.
Even LDK deputy Agim Veliu accused the ruling Vetevendosje Movement of destroying independent constitutional institutions.
“We express our concern with this action of the commission, which has overwhelmingly decided to recommend the assembly illegally to interrupt the mandate of members of the Independent Council for the Kosovo Civil Service... It is an arbitrary logic of the destruction of independent constitutional institutions”, Veliu said.
Criticism against the Vetevendosje Movement has also expressed the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo parliamentary group chief Besnik Tahiri.
This council has a mandate stemming from this nation. Cutting off this mandate would have to come on an assessment the commission should make or a body that would analyse council violations as a collective body, rather than as individual members and people on this council”, Tahiri said.
