The institutional stalemate suspends more than 35 bills from civil society warn of serious consequences for citizens

More than 35 bills would have to be adopted by the Government and sent for a review of the Assembly before June 30th.

According to Government Bills Programme 2025-27, by the end of last month drafts of laws such as Labour, Civil Code, for the Judiciary Council and for the Prosecutorial Council, for the protection of competition, for energy and for electricity, etc. would have been adopted.

The blockade, in relation to the establishment of the new Parliament legislature, thus affects the quality of citizens' lives.

If alone the Kurti government is elected again, then it can proceed away with these bills, but it can very easily prevent these bills from being prosecuted by other parties if they only come to power. But the important thing is that the consequences of the non-compliance of the Parliament are enormous and affecting the lives of citizens. Here we connect that there are over 10 international agreements waiting to be ratified”, said Melos Kolshi, senior researcher in IKD.

Stressing that the remains of a multitude of laws have financial consequences, at the Democratic Institute of Kosovo estimates that this year has only been wasted.

“We're already late in considering the legislative plan, whether the government that's on expiration, but also of any government that could hypothetically come after the establishment of the Assembly and normally that the consequences are great... Whenever the mayor is elected and the constitution is dedicated, in my opinion, the year 2025 is a failed year in legislative sense and in the sense of supervisor, because we are late”, said Volnet Bugakku, senior researcher in KDI

Speaking of the consequences, Bugakku singled out the legislature's transfer to Civil Code legislatures and constitutional amendments to “vettingun” in justice, as two of the key issues that remain pending from the previous legislature.

This makes it vacant or, to say so, unable to exercise legislative power, as well as has the principal term Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo. And, for 7 or 8 months, if the state remains without parliament, which examines, controls, and in some cases proposes and drafts laws itself, then this is also a major challenge to democratic and parliamentary life in Kosovo. When the Assembly is passive or on pause, we say, citizens themselves suffer”, said Volnett Bugakku, senior researcher in KDI

The last decisions of the Parliament date from early December 2024, most of which have been disputed at the Constitutional Court. / RTV Dukagini
