No matter that 21 May was seen as a potential date for establishment of Special Court to be included as a point of Assembly’s agenda, it is still is not clear when this bill will be proceeded to Assembly Presidency.
This was confirmed to RTK by the Assembly Deputy Speaker Xhavit Haliti. According to Haliti, this point cannot come to MPs without having a prior political consensus about it.
In case that opposition parties do not defer about Special Court’s establishment, Haliti hopes that they will have sufficient votes with those of MPs from the governing coalition, minorities, independent MPs and the 6+ caucus. At the contrary, he says, that this will have consequences on the country.
On the other hand, AAK continues to insist that they will vote against this Court.
