Haxhiu Assumes Full Presidential Powers Following Interim Appointment
Albulena Haxhiu has assumed the role of acting president of Kosovo, inheriting a full suite of powers equivalent to a regularly elected five-year term president, according to legal analysis. This development allows her to make significant decisions previously pending resolution during the previous administration led by Vjosa Osmani. Just days after taking office, Haxhiu finalized a key action alongside Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
The pair granted a five-year mandate to Petrit Ajeti to serve as the head of the Kosovo Intelligence Agency. Crucially, the ruling confirms that Haxhiu’s authority as president is identical to that of a fully elected official. An initial ruling from the Constitutional Court substantiated this, clarifying that she possesses the full scope of presidential responsibilities.
The appointment underscores the established legal framework following the interim period. Haxhiu’s actions demonstrate a continuation of established governmental processes, and she is authorized to make decisions without limitation. This transition reflects a standard operational procedure for the role of president within the current circumstances.
