Assembly fails to appoint members of the procurement review body (Koha)

Today’s continuation of the plenary session of the Kosovo Assembly aimed at appointing members for the Procurement Review Body, one of the prerequisites for visa liberalization, has failed. The chairman of the session, Xhavit Haliti, initially said that none of the representatives of the Serb community met the criteria to be appointed for the procurement authority whereas when the electronic voting of the members that were deemed to meet the criteria took place, the MPs from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) did not vote.  As a result, the government’s proposal for the new members did not pass. The European Integration Minister Bekim Collaku expressed disappointment with the failure of the Assembly to endorse new members of the Procurement Review Body saying that he feared this could have a negative effect on the visa liberalization assessment report.
