Votes of minorities enabled leader of Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Isa Mustafa, to get elected as the Kosovo Assembly Speaker in a controversial session accompanied by verbal clashes between MPs. As a result, the way the Speaker was elected will be interpreted by the Constitutional Court, an institution which already ended the mandate of two former Kosovo presidents. Without the court reaching its decision, the president cannot propose a candidate for prime minister, thinks the paper. In fact, according to the interpretation the court provided a month ago, the president should propose the leader of Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Hashim Thaci, as the candidate to form the new government, adds the paper further.
However, seeing that the three-party bloc made of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) was unable to reach an agreement with Vetevendosje, everything is in the hands of minority communities represented in the Assembly of Kosovo. “All this political and constitutional acrobatics will serve Kosovo politicians to draw a lesson and get a better reading of the laws, rules, and Constitution before they give their approval on these important legal acts that affect the stability of the country”, writes the paper in its front-page editorial.
