The Constitutional Court has set a 34-day deadline for the functioning of the Assembly and the election of the president. So far, several days have passed without any concrete developments. If the president is not elected by April 28, the tenth legislature risks automatic dissolution.
This situation comes after about a year and a half of institutional deadlock, during which the Assembly has not fully functioned. However, even after the Constitutional Court's ruling that unblocked the situation, MPs have not taken steps to restore normality.
The Vetëvendosje Movement, which on March 6 accused President Vjosa Osmani of leaving international agreements worth over 100 million euros unratified with the decree dissolving the Parliament, has not called a single session to address them. This is despite the Constitutional Court's ruling clearing the way for action.
The extraordinary session that LVV had announced on the day of the presidential decree did not take place. The party has no longer treated it as a priority, despite having previously used it as a political argument against Osmani.
According to official announcements, international agreements and other issues will be put on the agenda at the meeting of the Presidency of the Assembly on Monday. The next plenary session is also expected to be scheduled at the same meeting.
By then, six days will have passed since the start of the 34-day deadline. Any additional delay narrows the space for electing a president and increases the probability of dissolving the Assembly.
Under these conditions, institutional pressure falls on MPs to immediately resume sessions and address blocked issues, including the election of the president and the ratification of international agreements.
The deadline is set, the consequences are clear. Decision-making is lacking.
