The fate of President Vjosa Osmani’s decree hinges on a decision by the Constitutional Court, according to lawyer Arbër Jashari. The court could ultimately rule the decree legal or maintain its suspension pending a final judgment. Jashari emphasized that the decree’s outcome is independent of the president’s term, which concludes on April 4th.
Following the president’s departure, the Speaker of Parliament will assume the executive duties. Should the court validate the decree, elections must be organized within a 45-day timeframe. Conversely, if the decree is determined to be unlawful, Parliament will remain in session.
A period of up to two months could then be allocated to the selection of a new president. The Constitutional Court possesses two distinct avenues for resolution, primarily addressing the core question of the decree’s legality. This legal challenge surrounding the president’s decree will significantly impact the political landscape.
