PRISHTINA, June 30 /ATA/ – Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani will invite leaders of political parties for talks this week after parliament failed for 39th time to elect a speaker, prolonging the country’s post-election stalemate, her media advisor Bekim Kupina told KosovaPress on Monday.
“President Osmani expects all parliamentary parties to implement the recent Constitutional Court ruling and finalize the constitutive session of parliament within 30 days, as required by the court,” Kupina said.
“If necessary, the President is ready to request further clarification from the Constitutional Court,” he added.
Since April 15, 39 unsuccessful parliamentary sessions have been held, failing to establish the new legislature. Disagreements persist among parties, particularly over the ruling Vetëvendosje’s nominee for speaker and the party’s demand to change the voting method from open to secret ballot.
In a ruling issued on June 26, the Constitutional Court ordered that the Assembly be constituted within 30 days.
