When there is no solution, there are elections (Kosova Sot)
The front page of this editorial stresses that the winning party of the 8 June elections has given signals of mobilization for elections, due to the lack of finding a partner at the Assembly to create institutions, even five months after the elections. The coalition block on the other hand, does not give a solution and it also objects new elections. Its representatives stated on Wednesday that they are against the new elections even though they do not accept any agreement with the winning party. “The decision of the Constitutional Court has clarified that there cannot be new elections if the Assembly fails to elect its chairperson, however at this phase, the President could request further explanation from the Constitutional Court, in order not to keep the country hostage,” writes this daily.
“According to our Constitution, the country goes for new elections if creation of the new governments fails 60 days from the nomination of the candidate for Prime Minister by the president, if the President of the Republic of Kosovo is not elected within 60 days from the start of the procedure and if two thirds of deputies vote for dissolution of the Assembly. The Constitution could certainly not foresee an eventual madness of Kosovo politicians who block the country, however if a compromise cannot be found, elections remain the only solution. The blocking parties would certainly be surprised in that case; therefore they are objecting new elections. However, the President should not waste time to exercise her constitutional competence, if the coalition block does not withdraw," concludes this daily.
