Miftarian: What it means to vote the government and go to the polls after 60 days

Apart from claims that they will contribute to the formation of institutions, none of them have indicated whether they have started discussions with each other regarding the formation of institutions. The party's chairman, Donika Grovalla, meanwhile, said possible talks with other political subjects could take place after the results are certified and that the LVV coalition has not discussed coalitions.

We don't discuss either red lines or coalitions that we'll see once we get the ultimate certified outcome, in order to know what the message of citizens is. We still have won the elections convincingly, again have more votes than all other Albanian parties, so I see no reason. Voter turnout has been smaller, this is a message that we should analyse and understand correctly all of us who are active on the” political scene, Grovall said.

According to CEC data currently LVV, there are over 45 % of the votes followed by the Democratic Party, which currently has over 20 %s of the vote. Dmocratic Party Chairman Bedri Hamza a few days ago has said his preference is to form a government without Vetevendosje Movement, but has added that quick institution building is done only with a political agreement prior to the constitution's constitutionalisation.

Meanwhile, the director of the Kosovar Institute for Justice, Ehat Miftaraj, says that in order to avoid new elections, political subjects must reach a quick agreement on forming institutions, since, according to him, the constitutional deadline for electing the 60-day president is activated on the day the constitution is conditioned.

“What does it mean to vote on the government after 60 days to go to the elections”, Miftaraj told Rtv21.

Kosovo held extraordinary elections in the absence of a political compromise for electing the president, and the same situation could be repeated even after the certificate of the June 7th results. The dilemmas are currently raised if the government or president should be elected first. Former head of the Appeals Court, Hasan Shala, says the Constitution does not specify whether the president or government should be elected first but requires respect for constitutional deadlines.

The constitution does not specify who will be elected first in these cases. Basically, it would be better to elect the president, but even if the government is elected it's not a violation. Important is respect for the” deadlines, Shala said.

The Constitutional Court in its recent act has clarified that the procedure for electing the president must start from the day of the Parliament's decision and end the most distant within 60 days. Meanwhile, for forming the government, political subjects have the defined constitutional deadlines if they reach an agreement on co-governance, or if the party that received the majority of votes may have 61 votes sufficient for elections.
