Referendum resolution, Kurti submits written request to Konjufca for extraordinary session

Prime Minister Albin Kurti has asked Parliament Speaker Glauk Konjufca to hold the extraordinary Assembly session tomorrow at 2: 00 p.m.

The prime minister's office through a communique for the media has suggested that a joint resolution will be put forward at the session, expressing the will of MPs to hold Serbia's referendum in Kosovo.

The Republic of Kosovo's “Prime Minister Albin Kurti has addressed Republic of Kosovo Speaker Glauk Konjufca, at the request for the extraordinary Assembly session/ In line with Article 69 paragraphs 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo and Article 38 paragraph 2b of the Republic of Kosovo's Republic of Kosovo Electoralr, Prime Minister Kurti has addressed the Assembly at the request for the Constitution's extraordinary session for tomorrow, Saturday, on January 15, 2022, at 2:00. In line with the day of this extraordinary session is the discussion about Serbia's intention to hold constitutional referendum on the territory of the Republic of Kosovo. The discussion by this session aims to issue a joint resolution, in which the political will of MPs and parliamentary groups and the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo is expressed, on the issue highlighted”, the communiqué says.

EU and QUINT states are asking Prime Minister Kurti to allow Kosovo Serbs' vote for a referendum to be held in Serbia on Sunday based on earlier voting practices, where O The SEU has raised votes.

This is against the Kosovo government's chief with the argument that “maintaining a referendum in a sovereign state of another state is a practice accepted by no democratic state”.

The Kosovo government has indicated that Kosovo Serbs who have dual citizenship can vote in Serbia's referendum through two forms, the one by mail and through the Serbian Liaison Office in Kosovo.

US Ambassadors Britain, Germany, France and Italy today have also visited President Vjosa Osmani. After this joint meeting, Prime Minister Albin Kurti has spoken, who has indicated he will call an extraordinary session for tomorrow, until I am due to date with a joint communique with the Parliament and Presidency.

Citizens of Serbia, on January 16th, will be declared by “po” or “for a question: “Are you confirming the act to change the Constitution of the Republic of Serbia?”.

The changes concern the judiciary, and Serbia has been tasked with the European Union membership process. As EU representatives have consistently explained, the purpose of changing Serbia's constitution is to achieve an independent judiciary, without political influence and rule of law.

As rarely, opposition parties in the country have come to the support of the Kosovo government. LDK, PDK and AAK are rejecting holding Serbia's referendum in Kosovo, writes Report Express.

Despite international pressure on the Government of Kosovo for holding Serbia's referendum in Kosovo, leaders of three opposition parties are in line with Prime Minister Kurti, against holding Serbia's Kosovo referendum.

On the other hand, the US State Department has published on the official page the QUINT embassies' request for allowing Serbia's referendum to be held in Kosovo, Express newspaper reports.

The US State Department's Media Office has published the joint declaration on Serbia's National Referendum on 16 January.
