The autumn session of the Kosovo Assembly has started with the old Avaz. The only two sessions during this session were interrupted due to the lack of MPs, resulting in the failure to approve international agreements and bills. This trend is expected to follow the assembly throughout the year until the February 9th elections. The challenge for majority is also considered the adoption of bills needed by the simple majority of 61 MPs, following the removal of two deputies from the Vetevendosje Movement.
The owner, Gluk Konjufca, acknowledges that working in the legislature will be challenging in achieving the fulfillment of the legislative agenda, but it finds it necessary to reach a consensus with opposition parties on adopting international agreements and some more vital bills.
On the other hand, in the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo(AAK), MPs have already started work on the field and it will be impossible to stay in plenary sessions, but point out that for laws affecting the welfare of citizens they will participate in the vote.
Meanwhile, the Parliament's work monitors say that the people's elected are by no means able to play their constitutional role in both legislative and representative and supervisor to the executive.
Konjufca adds that negotiations with the opposition are needed to be reached each week, as well as for international agreements, to achieve.
AAK deputy Shemsedin Dreshey says about the Parliament's work at the autumn session.
On the other hand, Naim Jakaj from the Kosovo Institute for Justice(IKD), declares that the next-year session of the Parliament has begun poorly, as MPs are managing to carry out their constitutional role.
He adds that the quorum has become like a disease for the assembly, from which they cannot be cured.
The Kosovo Assembly has started its autumn session on 9 September, until it has managed to hold only two plenary sessions, which after completing parliamentary questions and statements outside the agenda have been closed due to a lack of quorum in decision-making both for the adoption of bills and international agreements.
