Without a president, government or prime minister: Kosovo faces a new episode of political crisis

The deadline for constituting Kosovo's parliament has expired at midnight, according to the constitutional court. The session was suspended by Speaker Avni Dehari at the request of Albanian Self-Determination Party leader Albin Kurti, who insists that a broad political agreement on the country's new president must be reached before the parliament can proceed. This marks another episode in Kosovo's ongoing political crisis, which has led to three parliamentary elections in just over a year. Kurti argues that failing to agree on a presidential candidate first would lead to another dissolution of parliament and early elections. Some legal experts have criticized his interpretation of the situation. Opposition parties have criticized both the suspension of the session and Kurti's approach. The political and institutional crisis began last February after several failed attempts to constitute the parliament and form a government despite the Albanian Self-Determination Party's strong showing. Early elections were called because the previous parliament could not elect a new president within the constitutional timeframe after the mandate of former President Vjosa Osmani expired.

Kosovo Parliament fails to elect leadership at constituent assembly

Kosovski parlament je ponovno zapleten v politično krizo, ker ni uspel izvoliti svojega vodstva na ustanovni seji. Vladajoča stranka Samoodločba premierja Albina Kurtija ni predlagala kandidata za predsednika parlamenta, dokler ne bo strankarjev doseženo soglasja o novem predsedniku države. Kurti trdi, da je volitev 7. junija organiziranega zaradi nepredvidenega razpisovanja predsedniških izborov aprilja, in zahteva širše soglasje glede povezovalnega predsednika, kot to določa ustava. Težava nastane zaradi različnih pristopov med vladajuco in opozicijsko strankami, posebej zaradi dejstva, da nekdanja predsednica Vjosa Osmani želi znova zasedi položaj, kar Kurti zavrača. Ustanovna seja je bila prekinjena, in parlament še ni konstituiran.
