The Vetevendosje Movement has submitted today in the Constitutional Court, the request signed by 30 members of the Assembly of Kosovo for the assessment of the constitutionality of President Vjosa Osmani's decree on the dissolution of the Assembly.
This was announced by the head of the Parliamentary Group of the Vetëvendosje Movement (LVV), Arbërie Nagavci.
According to a post on the social network Facebook, Nagavci wrote that they have simultaneously requested the Court to impose a temporary measure to suspend this decree, until the final verdict is issued.
"It is clear that the President of the Republic has no discretionary right to intervene in the functioning of the legislative branch, much less to take actions that lead to the dissolution of the Assembly. The President's role in this process is strictly conditional and is activated only in circumstances clearly defined by the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo," Nagavci wrote.
She further stated that any action outside these limits constitutes an excess of constitutional competences and a serious violation of the fundamental principle of the separation of powers, sanctioned in Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo.
"In a democratic state, no institution and no public office holder can act above or beyond the Constitution. Attempts to exercise powers that are not clearly defined by the Constitution not only harm the constitutional order, but also endanger the very democratic functioning of institutions. We expect the Constitutional Court to treat this issue as a priority and to issue a decision as soon as possible, in order to prevent any further violation of the constitutional order and the principle of separation of powers," Nagavci wrote. /Telegrafi/
