MPs from the Kosovo Assembly have failed for the 41st time in a row to make the ninth Parliament legislature, which emerged from the 9 February elections.
The head of the session, Avni Dehari, put the secret vote commission back on vote, which still failed to be established.
Out of 99 deputies as many as 54 were present voted in favour, none against and no abstention.
The PDK, LDK, AAK and the Initiative, as well as the Serbian List, since 1 May are refusing to propose members for this commission that would oversee a secret vote for the new chairman.
Representatives of these parties went to the speaker, urging leaders not to violate the Constitution. However, the microphone stopped them because they gave no names for members of the commission.
The next failure came after meetings she held yesterday and today the country's president, Vjosa Osmani, with party leaders aiming to emerge from the institutional crisis.
Osmani said yesterday he called on leaders to have “in the spirit of co-operation and trust, as well as in the benefit of civic and state interest, as soon as possible, but still within the 30-day term” set by the Constitutional Court, to reach a reconciliation about the road ahead for the constitution's contract.
However, these meetings did not work today.
Before today's session, there were again protests by civil society representatives with calls for exits.
Ehat Miftaraj from the Kosovo Institute for Justice said civil society organisations require political parties that “find a solution to compromise”.
He said he hoped there would be reflection and that the leader of the constitutional session, Avni Dehari “, would not proceed with violating the Constitution”.
On June 26th, the Constitutional Court issued a conviction under which it imposed the Parliament's deputies to hold the Parliament within 30 days.
Vetevendosje movement insists that the Constitution has not rejected the form of the secret vote for the election of the head parliament, while other parties say in the indictment it clearly says the chief speaker should be elected according to until now open vote practices.. /Periscopi/
