Cakolli: If a minister resigns, it does not mean that there are no more ministries, the state is not held by individuals or specific names - it is held by the system

Eugen Cakolli from the Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI) said with "mandate completed" or "in office" - it is still the Government.

Cakolli, through a post on the social network Facebook, said that if a minister resigns, it does not mean that there is no longer a ministry.

But as he explained, the state is not held by individuals or proper names - it is held by the system.

"Some are saying: 'What if everyone resigns, who leads the state?' The answer is clear and understandable: the state is not held by individuals or specific names - it is held by the system. Deputy (prime) ministers, secretaries general and the administration are there. There are transition instruments and there are mechanisms to function temporarily. The idea is for institutions to be elected as soon as possible - not to calculate the opposite. After all, there is no article that says 'either stay in two positions, or leave the state without governance'. The law simply says - do not hold two powers at the same time", said Cakolli.

According to him, a minister does not cease to be a minister just because he goes to take the oath in the Assembly.

"If you are still in the Government – ​​in any capacity – you are part of the executive branch. Being 'in office' does not mean you are a 'former (prime) minister'. It means you no longer have a full mandate – but you still have power. And for this very reason, the law prohibits you from being in both the Government and the Assembly at the same time. Because you cannot serve two branches of government at the same time. Not for aesthetic reasons, but for democratic order," he said.

Cakolli further emphasized that the debate that began after the failure of the constitutive session is more than an interpretation of an article.

"It is proof of the institutional character and political behavior of the ruling party. Because when a Prime Minister or minister comes to take office as an MP without formally resigning, we have no legal loophole. We have a deliberate choice to push the boundaries of the rule," he explained.

And when you resign from the executive, as Cakolli said, there is no longer room to stay in the facility, let alone issue administrative instructions or vote on boards. /Telegraph/
