Voting of an international agreement in the Assembly due to lack of quorum

The international agreement on ratification of the Funding Agreement in the middle of the Republic of Kosovo, represented by the Ministry of Finance, Labour and Transfers and the European Investment Bank for the “Resilivation of railway line 10 B”, has failed.

There were 82 deputies in the hall sufficient to launch voting procedure, but not all participated in the vote.

Chairman Glauk Konjufca said there is no quorum, so this point will be voted in the next session.

The “are only 72 votes, enough for the vote of international agreements. Therefore, this is carried to a new session”, Konjufca said.

The Parliamentary Group refused to vote on this agreement The PDK, while the LDK's was pro.

PDK GP head Abelard Tahiri said that since Kosovo is under EU and US measures it would be paradoxical to vote on the agreement.

Kosovo's “Republic is currently under sanctions from both the EU and the US, and the increasing of these sanctions is warned that it will only expand and not reduce. Therefore, voting such an agreement will be paradoxical because it will fail to realise how we voted it out as voting”.

Meanwhile, MP Avdullah Hoti spoke on behalf of the LDK Parliamentary Group and said they would vote the agreement because they are angry about how the Kurti Government manages the country, not with important projects for the country.

This project has been realised for 7-8 years, I'm glad it's going towards finalisation, at least for the funding share. When I heard the chairman of the Board Commission calling on him to put his anger aside and vote on him. We're angry with the way you manage the country, how you brought the sanctions, but we're not mad at national importance projects. This railway line makes Kosovo part of the regional and wider railway network. So we support”. /Express
