In addition to determining that the Assembly has been constituted and the deputy speaker can be elected in a subsequent session and repeating the vote for the Serbian List candidate for deputy speaker of the Assembly, according to experts, the Constitutional Court may also send the country to early elections.
Since March 27, the date when the results of the national elections were certified, exactly 6 months and two days have passed.
Due to the deadlock in the Assembly, we neither have a new Government nor a functional Assembly.
The temporary measure that has blocked any development will be deactivated on September 30. This will also end the deadline for the Constitutional Court to respond to the Serbian List's appeal.
According to constitutional law experts and scholars, in a complicated situation, there are several possibilities.
The first, the finding that the Assembly is constituted and that the Serbian deputy speaker should be elected in a regular session, the second that the entire process returns to zero only for the Serbian candidate who does not have the votes, and the third solution, the one that almost all political parties have mentioned, after every session in the Assembly.
"...therefore, perhaps the most appropriate option to avoid putting the Constitutional Court to the test, as these political parties are doing by interpreting their own decision, criticizing and commenting, may suggest going to elections and there is nothing there, then it can be done, of course in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution, or it can go directly to the Assembly or through the President", Mazllum Baraliu - former professor of Constitutional Law - told Dukagjin TV.
A government with limited powers, a lack of oversight by the Assembly, a blockage of laws and reforms in many areas, and many institutions that operate with acting heads, these are just some of the consequences we have as a state from the blockade, according to Vullnet Bugaqku, a researcher at the Democratic Institute of Kosovo.
"In addition to this, there is another consequence of the fact that we have a multitude of international agreements, there are millions of euros that the Kosovo budget needs, but due to the lack of a constitution for the Assembly, international agreements are not being sent to parliament and approved, and in such a way that the state and our society can enjoy those funds," said Vullnet Bugaqku from the Democratic Institute of Kosovo.
Bugaqku says that the consequences are both economic and political, but also of the nature of situations where there are minus two judges in the Constitutional Court, and in the event of the resignation of just one of them, its functioning would be blocked.
