The 30-day deadline established by the Constitutional Court for the constitution of the Kosovo Parliament concluded today. However, former Constitutional Court judge, Kadri Kryeziu, has provided commentary suggesting that the immediate failure to convene the legislative body does not carry explicit punitive measures under the Constitution. In a statement provided to Telegraphi, Kryeziu assessed the timeline, noting that while the 30-day period was considered a reasonable timeframe for the Parliament’s formation, the constitutional framework does not stipulate specific penalties for non-compliance.
He emphasized that the expiration of the deadline today does not trigger an automatic sanction. Kryeziu stated that if the session is not called even today, there is no constitutionally mandated punitive measure that can be applied. He acknowledged that the Constitutional Court’s ruling clearly establishes the obligation for the Parliament to be constituted.
Nevertheless, he cautioned that the process for establishing the legislature could potentially continue until the constitutional requirements are met, as no immediate constitutional sanction exists for the lapse of the deadline.
