The Legal and Political Studies Group (GLPS) voiced serious worries about the recently announced March 30, 2026, decision by the Presidency of the Republic of Kosovo regarding the re-opening of the competition for the position of general secretary. They assert that this action is fundamentally illegitimate. Previously, on March 5th, GLPS communicated to the Assembly, detailing their comprehensive monitoring of the recruitment process.
Their assessment revealed no discernible violations that could compromise the legality or the principles of meritocracy within the process. The group contends that this particular decision contains significant legal shortcomings. Specifically, they highlight the Presidency’s failure to appoint one of the qualified candidates for the general secretary role.
Furthermore, they point out the bypassing of established legal procedures, noting that current legislation does not authorize the Presidency to undertake such actions. Essentially, the GLPS believes this decision represents a breach of established legal frameworks. It involves the Presidency’s overreach of authority and a deviation from the proper recruitment process for the crucial general secretary position.
