The Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo met today in an extraordinary plenary session, led by President Albulen Haxhiu, at the invitation of 40 signatories.
At the beginning of the session, President Haxhiu announced that President Vjosa Osmani has taken legal steps to replace MPs who have become part of the government cabinet. This case was sworn in by 18 new deputies, who officially received the mandate in the tenth legislature.
During the session, at the request of AAK Parliamentary Group Chairman Besnik Tahiri, it was voted that the review of the Proposal Resolution for Specialised Chambers and the Office of Specialised Prosecutor in The Hague pass as the first point of the agenda. Following the adoption of a departure from the regulation, the Parliament, with 90 votes for, one against and no abstention, approved the resolution submitted by the MP PDK progress, Gruda.
The resolution calls for the Specialised Chambers and the Specialised Prosecutor's Office to ensure the exact implementation of Kosovo's laws and Constitution, as well as international standards for a fair and impartial judicial process. It also highlights the necessity of protecting Hashim Thaci's fundamental rights and freedoms, Kadri Veselin, Jakup Krasniqi, Rexhep Selimi and others, in line with the European Court of Human Rights's jurisdiction.
During the debate, LDK Parliamentary Group head Jehona Lushaku proposed adding a point to the text of the resolution, but the proposal did not get the support needed even to vote.
The LDK did not vote at all for Resolution, while the only one who voted against was VV deputy Fatos Geci.
The session followed with the adoption of the Government's proposal for extending the Law's implementation of last year's budgetary divisions even for March 2026, aimed at avoiding obstacles to the payment process until the new budget is approved.
In the end, the Assembly approved the composition of 16 parliamentary commissions for the tenth legislature, with members proposed by parliamentary groups, according to the agreed division in the Parliament's Headship.
