The third session of the Kosovo Assembly, held on August 8, did not result in the constitution of the body. The acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, requested an extension to allow for further discussion concerning a comprehensive political agreement and the election of the president. This request was met with a disruption when an incident involving the throwing of eggs occurred against Kurti by an Alliance deputy, Time Kadrijaj.
Beyond the immediate disruption, the timing of the session itself has become a subject of scrutiny among constitutional scholars. Several legal experts are assessing whether the session, held on August 8, constitutes an out-of-term constitutional proceeding. Former judge of the Constitutional Court, Kadri Kryeziu, informed KosovoPress that current constitutional guidelines mandate that Parliament must be constituted within a 30-day timeframe, referencing a 2025 ruling from the Constitutional Court.
Kryeziu noted that the altercation involving eggs against Kurti took place during this specific constitutional session, which is occurring near the established 30-day deadline for the constitution. The proceedings highlight significant tensions within the nation’s political landscape as lawmakers navigate the requirements for establishing a functioning government. The focus remains on the necessary steps to finalize the political structure and elect the requisite officials, all occurring against the backdrop of established constitutional timelines this August.
