Dimal Basha, a Member of the Parliament of Kosovo, stated that calls for adopting a parliamentary constitution without holding an election for the president are strategically aimed at triggering new general elections. According to Basha, the insistence on electing solely the Speaker of the Parliament while bypassing a presidential election suggests an underlying objective to force electoral timelines. Basha asserted that the current stance of the Assembly contradicts this supposed goal.
He addressed the opposition, cautioning them against misinterpreting the proceedings. “If we insist on a Speaker of the Parliament and claim we are not ready for the presidency, they are attempting to guide us toward elections,” Basha stated. He elaborated that anyone pushing this specific agenda demonstrates a desire to initiate new elections, a position that, he argued, the Assembly does not share.
The politician urged the opposition to carefully review the established procedural positions. “We are stating the opposite; we invite them to take notice of all the current positions,” Basha concluded. His comments frame the debate around the constitutional structure and the timing of key leadership elections, specifically highlighting the distinction between electing the Speaker and determining the future leadership of the president.
The remarks from Dimal Basha underscore a significant political divergence regarding the path toward constitutional reform and electoral mandates within Kosovo.
