Publicist Halil Matoshi remarks in his column for the paper that the chair of the Kosovo Assembly’s constitutive session, Flora Brovina from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), has two options in front of her. Brovina can choose to refuse to chair the session because the PDK that has become a minority in the Assembly is violating the principle of democratic majority and this would enable the opposition bloc to appoint another chairperson to unblock creation of institutions. Brovina’s other option, which is more likely to happen, is to suspend the session once the PDK’s candidate for speaker fails to receive the necessary 61 votes. According to Matoshi, the second scenario would put Brovina in an open conflict to the Constitutional Court while the PDK would be in hostility to the entire political spectrum and thus turn into a “Casus belli”.
Brovina, says further Matoshi, has even warned that she will not allow the opposition bloc to elect Isa Mustafa to the post of the speaker and expressed her readiness to again declare the Assembly session closed to prevent this from happening and this way put Kosovo into a deeper institutional crisis. “I fear this woman will be remembered as a hated figure for causing the country so much unnecessary trouble and headache”, writes Matoshi.
