The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) is calling on President Vjosa Osmani to swiftly appoint her second deputy to the Central Election Commission (CEC) following a recent ruling. This action stems from the Constitutional Court’s decision in case KO81/26, which invalidated the jurisdictional dispute between the President and parliamentary groups. The court’s judgment underscored the importance of upholding the constitutional order.
The PDK asserts that the constitutional court’s ruling definitively establishes the role of institutions regarding appointments to independent bodies. They believe this clarifies the process and prevents future disagreements. Any continued postponement of the deputy appointment is, according to the party, unwarranted and detrimental to the proper operation of electoral institutions.
Specifically, the PDK highlights the court’s rejection of President Osmani’s initial request to nominate CEC members. This decision was rooted in a commitment to respecting the constitution and guaranteeing equitable representation within the commission. The party maintains that a timely appointment is crucial for ensuring the integrity and functionality of the electoral process.
