Administration for Chiefs Not Exults Washington

After it was decided that there should be elections in the four municipalities in the north, two options were discussed to organise the new process, the resignations of current mayors and the signing of a petition by citizens in these municipalities. Since international resignations were described as a quicker way, power seems to have been in a hurry, insisting on the petition, which from the beginning was known to take a long time.

However, administrative instruction for citizens' initiative to remove the mayors has already been drafted, which is expected to take some 100 days. The American emissary Gabriel Escobar, who said he thinks the quickest and easiest way for new elections with Serb participation is through resignations.

He adds that the petition has not been tried before, stressing that there are no regulations and laws to do so.

Escobar said they're following the situation very closely.

If you want to have new elections with Serb participation, I think resignations are the fastest, easiest way. The petition as an initiative has never been proven before. In fact, there are not many of the regulations and laws for that. However, we are looking for any possibility within the Constitution, which would enable us to hold new elections. We are asking Serbs to participate fully in the elections when they are decided to be held. How we get there is a matter that will be discussed between the parties. However, I believe the resignations would be the fastest. However, we are very carefully following the situation”, he said in an interview for VOA.

After that statement, Local Power Management Minister Elbert Krasniqi also spoke. He at a media conference today said administrative instruction is a democratic process, and everything else is Belgrade's request.

“Administration is the democratic process and everything else is not the request of citizens there, but are Belgrade's requirements. Those are not requests for the good of citizens”, he said.

He claimed that the removal of the mayors is done through the form that is the highly democratic “”, while asking a question.

“Their removal can be done through the form that is very democratic. Who can guarantee that Serbs will participate in elections if the mayors resign? For that it is important to have the will of citizens to participate in the elections”, he said.

Esobar, another reaction came from VVA deputy Dimal Basha. He has written that it would be more serious if Escobar sought the resignation of Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, for some reasons he listed.

“don't impose sanctions on Russia; orders violence against KFOR soldiers, does not provide responsibility for 3 American citizens killed behind their backs at the time when Vuciq was minister of Parliament; Threatening Serbs seeking to integrate in Kosovo; discriminate and persecute Albanians in the Valley; Makes sabotages of Kosovo's independent state; He refuses to respect the agreements with Kosovo, including the latter”, Basha has written, adding that the list continues.

“nist”

This administrative directive, by law affairs connoisseur, is estimated to be “unconstitutional”.

The former head of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, Enver Hasani, has said this administrative directive is in conflict with the Kosovo Constitution. He relies on the lack of a Civil Initiative Law or referendum.

No “, because the assignment of rights and obligations, and the manner of their implementation, must first be determined by law. The constitution requires law. This is about direct democracy, which is a constitutional category, and the way its implementation is determined by law, is usually called the Law for Civil Initiative, Law for Referendum, or Law for Referendum and Civil Initiative. The constitution shows what it can be and what it cannot be subject to. Then the lawmaker is free to determine these two issues. But these two issues have not been regulated by the Assembly of Kosovo, and as a result, this directive has usurped a Parliament's legal authorisation, and has rated an issue that had to be rated with the Law for Civic Initiative”, Hasani told the REL.

KDIA executive director Ehat Miftaraj, a few days ago told Express that administrative instruction does not complete the legal framework, saying that on the basis of a preliminary analysis IKD estimates that the instruction is not in harmony with law and constitution.

This administrative directive is not really fulfilling the legal framework, we're talking about an administrative guide that is published today and on the basis of a preliminary analysis of IKDA, this administrative directive is not in harmony with law and constitution. Anyway, the next few days, The IKD will come up with an attitude and analysis regarding this instruction”, he said.

While details of administrative instruction have been provided by KDI several days before the publication by Minister Krasniqi. They have that the draft prepared by MAPL has exceeded the legal definitions of the law on local self-rule.

“On one side, MAPL has established procedures, deadlines and obligations under the initiative that goes beyond the law, and on the other hand, has not addressed irregularities in implementing the provisions in force. ”/express
