Former Constitutional Court President Enver Hasani has expressed skepticism about the likelihood of Kosovo establishing new institutions this year. In a statement, he criticized the lack of serious efforts to institutionalize governance, noting that while the government and president exist, the parliament remains absent and is frequently adjourned. Hasani specifically mentioned Prime Minister Albin Kurti and suggested there is no evidence of political compromise between his party and opposition groups. He implied that Kurti aims to maintain support among voters who elected him, potentially marginalizing those who supported the opposition.

The article discusses comments made by former Constitutional Court President Enver Hasani regarding the potential submission of cases against former leaders of the Kosovo Liberation Army (UÇK) to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg. Hasani argues that if Kosovo had the right to appeal, the ECHR would likely find violations in the special court process. He criticizes the delay in announcing the verdict, citing the volume of evidence as a reason.

Additionally, he accuses Prime Minister Albin Kurti of seeking to create a 'third republic' through the unconstitutional actions of the current government.

Former Constitutional Court President Enver Hasani accused current Prime Minister Albin Kurti of seeking to create a 'third republic' in Kosovo, implying that Kurti is undermining constitutional rulings and attempting to alter the constitutional order. Hasani claimed that the non-enforcement of Constitutional Court decisions indicates an intent to change the constitution, which he argues would violate the principles of legal sovereignty and European legal norms. He emphasized that the declaration of independence and the Constitution are legally binding documents, and that any changes require community support, particularly from the Serbian minority. Hasani warned against imposing the will of the majority over minorities, stressing the importance of legal equality and the rule of law.
