The Supreme Court is anticipated to issue a ruling within the next two days regarding two appeals submitted by candidates affiliated with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). According to KosovaPress, the outcome of this ruling is viewed as critical for the official certification of the final parliamentary election results from April 7 and for commencing the necessary procedures to establish new state institutions. While the Supreme Court has not provided a definitive timeline to KosovaPress concerning whether the decision will be reached before the established legal deadline, electoral process observers suggest that the certification of the outcomes could potentially occur by the end of the current week, provided that no further appeals or actions are lodged by the Central Election Commission (CEC).
Qemajl Marmullakaj, a researcher at the Institute of Kosovo Law (IKD), noted that the supreme court’s decision holds significant weight. The resolution from the supreme judiciary is expected to finalize the electoral process, paving the way for the formal acknowledgment of the election results. The completion of this judicial review is a prerequisite for the transition to the next phase of governance, ensuring that the newly elected bodies can proceed with their mandated duties.
The attention remains focused on the supreme court’s pronouncement to confirm the validity of the election results.
