What happens now after the Constitutional guidelines for creating the Parliament?

The Constitutional Court has again ordered Kosovo Assembly deputies to constitute the new parliamentary composition issued by the February 9th elections, but this time with clearer guidelines.

They are ordered to constitutionalise the Assembly within a 30-day term and elect the chief parliament through open voting, casting the same candidate no more than three times.

But when can the constitutional hearing be called?

It's not exactly known. It could be this week, or further away next week, depending on when the full act of judgment is published by the Constitution.

The Constituent hearing cannot be held until the Constitution publishes the full justice.

According to Eugen Cakoli from the Kosovo Democratic Institute, based on previous practices, the Constitution needs one to two weeks at a time to publish the whole act.

“Suppose if the bias is published on Wednesday, then the session could be called immediately Thursday and then continue the 48-hour cycle”, Cakoli said at KTV on August 8th.

The Assembly Constituent hearing was called for the first time on 15 April by the country's president, Vjosa Osmani. Since then, MPs have held 54 continuations of this session, which have been led by leader Avni Dehari, as the new legislature's oldest deputy.

The Constitution said the leader Dehar did not act on the previous trial of this June 26th court, adding that all hearings held from 27 June to 26 July “are declared invalid”.

According to the Parliament's Order, the head of the Constituent session cares for the management of the session, and Dehar is expected to call the session as soon as the Constitutionr publishes his full justice in the Official Journal.

How was the decision expected?

The decision has been welcomed by parties that the previous mandate was in opposition, but has been criticised by the winning election party, Vetevendosje Movement (LVV).

The LVV called the decision arbitrary, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), named it constitutional and democratic victories, while the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) spoke of the collapse of the dictatorship.

According to the LVV, the Constitutional announcement “poses dangerous deviation from constitutional role” and that it is “contrary to the fundamental principles of rule of law and division of powers”.

LVV MP and incumbent Justice Minister Albulen Haxhiu said a press conference on August 10th that <x0) the Constitutional Court's identification is a serious concern, because it is flagrant overstepping the competencies that the Constitutional Court has”.

Asked whether her party will respect the decision, Haxhiu said: “What will be our move after this announcement, after the decision, you'll know when the time is”.

Header The PDK, Memli Krasniqi, said that with this Constitutional decision, the positions of his party were confirmed, which the LVV “has held hostage the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, deliberately and deliberately blocking its functionality for narrow power interests, with actions entirely outside the Constitution”.

LDK chairman Lumir Abdixhiku welcomed the Constitutional Court's decision, naming it a big “profit for democracy”.

Ardian Djind from AAK said that with the Constitutional decision, “gained democracy, the dictatorship” was dropped.

What is expected of total judgment?

The full constitutional bias, in addition to paving the way for maintaining the constitutional hearing on the following day, is expected to clarify more things.

It is likely to respond even to an already withdrawn request by Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani, what would happen if the Kosovo Assembly were not to be constitutionalised by 26 July -- the deadline set earlier by the court through an act of prejudice.

In its earlier act of judgment, which MPs ignored, the Constitution had not shown the legal consequences of such contempt.

The Constitution can now show what the consequences will be if MPs again ignore the 30-day order to make the new Parliament.

“If the president has withdrawn the request, the Constitution has the right to look into it, because it should clearly be a matter of public and constitutional interest”, Cakolli said.

Cakolli said such deadlines would be destined not to be respected by political actors, as those “lack the political will to find solutions, not because they do not know the” procedures.

“The parties will continue to violate deadlines as long as the court does not clearly write down what the consequences will be that MPs and the Parliament will bear, in case of further failures”, he said.

Who has how many votes?

The whole month-long crisis comes from the lack of a political agreement among parliamentary parties, as neither party won the majority to govern alone.

The incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti's LVV won 48 seats, and other parliamentary parties have refused to vote on its candidate for chairmanship, for whose appointment is at least 61 votes.

While LVV insists that Albulen Haxhiu is a merit candidate, some of the largest parliamentary parties -- such as PDK, LDK and AAK -- exclude him as the secessional “”.

The PDK came in second with 24 seats, the 20th-third LDK, followed by the Serb List -- the largest party of Serbs in Kosovo with 9, and the coalition between the AAK and the Social Democrat Initiative -- with eight.

Another 11 seats are minority.
