Hasani sharply criticises Osman: Evil withdrawal from president is violation of Constitution

International Law Professor Enver Hasani has declared that withdrawing the request from Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani, addressed to the Constitutional Court, is contrary to the Constitution and constitutes a flagrant violation of it.

According to the former head of the Constitutional Court, Enver Hasani, this withdrawal is devilishly finished and aimed at blockade and paralysing decision-making at the Constitutional Court regarding the decision expected to be made by August 8th 2025, when the provisional measure imposed by the Constitutional Court expires.

President Osmani today at a news conference, announced that he has withdrawn its request to the Constitutional Court in terms of legal consequences for failing to comply with the Kosovo Assembly within the 30-day term, saying that withdrawal of the application does not necessarily prevent its treatment.

Osmani was argued that he has withdrawn the request for reasons that reporting judge has been appointed Radomir Laban, and since the same, according to security institutions, violates national security.

In this regard, Hasani said that this reason is a major pretext and shame, as well as a lasting stain on the institution of the president of Kosovo.

Full interview with International Law Professor Enver Hasani.

Kosovo Press: How do you see President Osmani's decision to withdraw its application to the Constitutional Court in terms of clarification of the legal consequences in case of overstepping the 30-day deadline for non-compliance of the Parliament?

Hasani: This attraction is diabolical and aims at blockage and paralysing decision-making in the Constitutional Court over the decision expected to be made by August 8th 2025, when the provisional measure imposed by the Constitutional Court expires.

As a move, it is completely contrary to the Kosovo Constitution and constitutes flagrant violation of it. Kosovo's president dares not make such proposals at a time when the Constitutional Court's decision on other matters is expected to be much more important.

Its demand has been extinguishable and clearly unfounded. She's a lawyer and she knows that. But it has submitted the request in order to strike the Constitutional Court, given that this institution has only 7 judges, as it is, and that by eliminating one of them, it would paralyse and block the Court for any ongoing decision making concerning the constitutionality of the Kosovo Parliament's constitutionalisation.

Kosovo Press: Her reasoning was that Judge Radomir Laban has been appointed to this case. How much do you see her claims?

Hasani: This is a pretext and a great shame, an unfailing stain on the Kosovo presidential institution. The action, as such, is completely fictional and aims at hitting the Court, with the aim of paralyzing its work. Mr. Radomir Laban has been there for seven years, if I am not mistaken, and she has had this information about her since the first day of her start of her term as president of Kosovo. She knew this data even a month ago, when she submitted a demand that was completely figable and with the sole purpose of paralyzing and blocking the work of the Constitutional Court.

Let me tell you, the Constitutional Court, under the Constitutional Court and the Law, has mechanisms and self-immunistic instruments to overcome the eternal and diabolic situations like this created by Mrs. Osmani. I want to believe that the Court will not submit to this blackmail and continue with its work and decide in accordance with the Constitution and the law./Periscopi/
