Ambassador Sweden: You can lead every constitutional question, political leaders make decisions

Sweden's Ambassador to Kosovo Jonas Westerlund, in an interview for Online Economy over the decision expected to come out of the Constitutional Court by Friday 8 August, said that although there is a tendency that these cases are addressed to the tribunal, political leaders should be more courageous and make decisions without [them].

He added that even though we should all wait for the Constitutional Court's decision, those in positions to protect the Constitution would have to shoulder responsibilities and play their role in directing its defence and democratic functioning of the state of Kosovo.

I mean, there are a number of questions that the Constitutional Court would have to address. One of them would be: What happens if Parliament fails to be constitutionalised and should this be handled as a matter for the future? So it won't happen again? Is there a need for clarification in the Constitution? That's another question. I'm thinking about the future. So such questions would have to be addressed by the Constitutional Court.

But there is another phenomenon in the Western world where questions are constantly sent to judges. I believe this is a trend that comes from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. Political leaders worldwide would need to be more courageous and to make decisions. You cannot refer all questions to the courts. To be honest, this deadline ends on Friday, August 8, and we all have to wait for the Constitutional Court's decision.

Those present to protect the Constitution would have to take on their role and responsibilities. Currently, this is extremely important to protect the Constitution and democratic functioning of the state”, Ambassador Westerlund said. /Periscope/
