Murati again turns to interpretations like “Constitutional skeletons if Rassic votes

Murati is continuing his party's insistence on electing Serbian MP Nenad Rassic to this position, saying the PDK, the AAK's LDK are waiting for the issue to go to the Constitutional Court.

“Rejecting deputies from PDK/ LDK/ AAK to vote as vice president on an MP who does not belong to the Serbian List means the PDK/ LDK/ The AAK is maintaining the position of vice president for someone of the Serbian List. Just because they did not have the political courage to vote on someone from the Serbian List right now, they are waiting until the case goes to the Constitutional Court (and became allegedly expelled from AAK MP Ademi Hoxha), so that he could secure the signing of the 10th Serbian List), in the hope that the Constitutional Court, released from the situation, would then say that “as we cried without voting, that it forced us to be forced by the Constitutional Court<12122568x3>

However, these parties said the violation occurred when the vote of minority deputy leaders was split.

“- Is the Constitution violated if elected Nenad Rassic? The opposition's claim that only one Serbian List MP can be elected deputy head of the Parliament because otherwise the Constitution is violated is untrue. The constitution says the deputy chairman should be among the deputies representing the non-Serb community, that is all. So there is no exclusiveness or monopoly Serbian List in this case”.

Murati is rationalising his party's pro vote for a 2021 Serb List candidate, all MPs were then from the Serbian List.

“- Why was last time in 2021 elected a Serbian List deputy for vice president, and now you don't? In 2021, all 10 MPs representing the non-Serb community in the Assembly were from the Serbian List, so there was no other option. Now in 2025, there are 9 deputies from the Serbian List and 1 MP who is not of the Serbian List, so there is a different option”.

Moreover, between these two times we have the terrorist attack on Banjska led by terrorist Milan Radojcic, who is still on the run in Serbia and continues to bridge the Serbian List. This is the argument that would have to convince each MP of the Parliament not to vote on anyone from the Serbian List for Deputy Speaker of the Assembly”.

But unlike Murati, experts say the whole process is unconstitutional.

Ehat Miftaraj, from the Kosovo Institute for Justice, told Radio Free Europe that under the Constitution, the practice of constitutional justice and parliamentary practice, in principle the manner of voting of vice-presidents is made on the basis of a written proposal by a candidate who holds the majority of the Serb community's votes in the Kosovo Assembly. According to him, this procedure is ignored only if no proposal comes from representatives in the Assembly.

Therefore, the lots and voting are being done against the Constitution and the Order. Any decisions resulting from this form are unconstitutional. Unfortunately, even this phase of political stalemate, apparently, must be resolved by the Constitutional Court, in the absence of political will to implement the Constitution and parliamentary practice”, Miftaraj said.

He added that Rashis' candidacy is in full opposition to the Constitution, judicial practice, parliamentary practice and the Framework of the Parliament, as the same does not have a majority or six signatures by MPs from the Serb community.
