Law on minimum wage, Constitutional Court has 60 days

There are five laws for which the interpretation is expected.

The latest is the minimum wage law sent by the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo.

What decision I will make the Constitutional Court is unknown, but according to lawyers for the time when the answer is known.

If we talk about this last case when the Law has not yet entered into force, this deadline within eight days if there is an application for assessment of constitutionality, then the law is clear, that this will become the most distant within 60 days, the Constitutional Court must issue a decision whether to approve it, reject it, whatever”, stated Arifi, counsel.

For laws that are not in place, there are deadlines, but there are laws such as for the provisional measures of basic products, which from the LDK submits to the Constitution on 16 November 2022. This, since this law is in force, and according to lawyer Arifi, does not determine how long the period until the decision is made.

Even in an answer to RTV Dukagjini, the Constitutional Court has not extended deadlines, saying they are in the screening procedure and will announce the decisions.

These laws are currently in process of review at the Constitutional Court. Once the decisions are made on these occasions, all preposterous parties and opinion” will be announced in time, the Constitutional Court says.

By political analysts, sending laws to the Constitutional by political parties and other mechanisms is estimated to be practical, which overloads the Constitutional Court, even outside its role.

The “is not in line with the Court's (Contentious) mandate because laws should be assessed whether they comply with the Constitution or not they comply with other laws. And there is also a method to be sent to the laws at the Constitutional Court through Omboutsperson, which also constitutes a misuse or misinterpretation of the mandate of Ombus-person”, said Seb Bytyci, university professor.

Despite that, Professor Bytyci says co-operation and power-opotic dialogue should be required, especially for laws affecting national themes.

According to civil society research and public reports, attorney Arifi shows that, in regular cases, the average until a Constitutional Court ruling runs up to 14 months.
