Kurt without legitimacy, visiting officials meet only outside institutions

Top international officials visiting Kosovo are not meeting incumbent Albin Kurti in his office as they do not want to give support to a government without full legitimacy, political analysts say.

According to them, this is a political message of distance with the current government in office.

Kosovo has not established institutions even six months after the February 9th parliamentary elections.

Meanwhile, during this period, European Union Senior Representative Kaya Kallas, senior official of the American Department of European Affairs, Brendan Hanrahan, and recently Deputy Defence Secretary of the United States David Baker, who have held meetings with Kurt, but not at the Office of the Prime Minister, but at official dinners.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court, weeks ago, has ruled that the exercise of the minister's office -- at the same time, the certified MP -- is at odds with the constitutional provisions.

European Integration Professor Dritare Arifi says of Kosova Prees, that Kurti's meetings with international representatives visiting Kosovo are being held outside state institutions, because they do not want to give support to the incumbent prime minister.

Meanwhile, former diplomat Blerim Canay says current institutions have no legitimacy, so internationals are meeting Kurti more as LV chairman.

According to him, shifting meetings to informal environments is a political message: the international community is keeping distance from the current government.

After 54 failures for the constitution, the Constitutional Court has ruled on Friday, deciding that MPs will elect the Speaker of the Parliament through open voting within 30 days. The Constitution also determined that the same candidate can only be voted up to three times and that all MPs must participate in the vote.

Parliamentary parties have not been able to elect the Assembly troops, where Vetevendosje Movement candidate Albulen Haxhiu, in six attempts with open voting has failed to secure the 61 votes needed, while in 48 attempts the commission for secret voting has failed to be formed, which was considered unconstitutional by the tribunal. / KP/Periscopi/
