The Central Election Commission (CEC) has officially certified the final results of the early parliamentary elections that took place on April 7, marking the formal conclusion of the electoral process in Kosovo. With this certification, the composition of the new parliament has been finalized. The CEC noted specific adjustments to the electoral slate, confirming two changes within the list of deputies for the Alliance.
This certification triggers the commencement of the constitutional timeline for the formation of the new legislature. According to Article 66 of the Constitution and subsequent interpretations from the Constitutional Court, the new parliament must be constituted no later than August 7. The Court’s rulings have provided clarification regarding the procedural requirements for establishing the governing body.
The certification by the CEC solidifies the mandate derived from the voters, moving the focus from campaigning to governance. The established timeline dictates that the constitutional process must adhere strictly to the stipulated deadlines. The Constitutional Court has previously clarified that the procedural step of “holding” the constitutive session does not imply an unlimited extension of the timeframe, thereby setting a definitive date for the operational commencement of the new legislative body.
The official declaration of the final results by the CEC now directs all subsequent political actions toward meeting the August 7 deadline, thereby concluding the transitional electoral phase.
