Besnik Tahiri: The government in resignation is exceeding its competencies, new appointments are illegal.

Alliance Official Cites Illegal Appointments by Resigning Government

Prishtina – Deputy Chairman Besnik Tahiri of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo has criticized the actions of the outgoing government, asserting that they are operating beyond their legal authority and disrupting institutional order. Speaking on May 6, 2026, Tahiri highlighted concerns regarding recent appointments made during the government’s remaining term. The Alliance official stated that the government is not passively “awaiting” its successor, but is instead functioning with a limited scope of power as defined by the Law on the Government.

Specifically, Tahiri referenced Article 31 of the law, which prohibits initiating new procedures for public appointments while the government is in a resignation period. He emphasized that this restriction applies even after the dissolution of parliament, until a newly elected government with full legitimacy takes office. The Alliance argues that these actions represent a violation of established legal frameworks.

The statement underscores ongoing debate surrounding the powers and responsibilities of the departing government and its continued influence within Kosovo’s institutions.
