The Institute requests a ban on actions in the session without the presence of 80 deputies
The Kosovo Institute for Justice has opposed the current procedure for electing the President of Kosovo, calling it contrary to the Constitution and parliamentary rules.
According to the KLI, an extraordinary session cannot take place without the presence of at least 80 deputies. In this case, only 64 deputies were in the hall, which, according to the institute, invalidates the start of the procedure and the first two rounds of voting.
IKL has also raised concerns about the meeting of the Legislation Committee, which was called only two minutes before the event. The institute believes that this way of working undermines transparency and limits the real participation of MPs in the process.
Another issue is related to the signatures of MPs for candidates. IKL points out that two candidates were proposed on March 5, 2026, but their withdrawal does not make the signatures usable for other candidates. According to the institute, signatures are consumed at the moment of official submission and are only related to the candidate for whom they were given.
IKL bases this position on the practice of the Constitutional Court, including case KI 47/10, as well as on the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, which allows the withdrawal of signatures only before official submission.
In the institute's assessment, the lack of a quorum, procedural violations, and misinterpretation of the rules make the process legally invalid.
IKL asks the Speaker of the Assembly not to take any action in the session without the constitutional quorum of 80 deputies.
