Enver Hasani says that the latest ruling of the Constitutional Court does not allow Serbian MP Nenad Rašić to be elected Deputy Speaker of the Assembly.
The former President of the Constitutional Court said in a written interview for Gazeta Express that at this point, the decision is "clear."
“No. The judgment, in its reasoning, is clear: representatives of the Serb majority have the constitutional prerogative to propose. This has been and remains a pure constitutional right, clearly defined in the text of the Constitution of Kosovo. Communities are represented by those deputies who have received the votes of the majority of the respective community and who have declared, before and during the elections, that they represent that community. Rashiqi does not represent the Serb community; it is currently represented by the “Serbian List” party,” he says.
The court found that the procedure for electing Emilija Rexhepi as deputy speaker of the Assembly from other non-Serb minority communities is not in conflict with the Constitution. According to Hasani, the Constitutional Court in this case 'amnestied' this action by 'saving face' for LVV.
"By "amnesting" the election of Ms. Emilia Rexhepi, the Constitutional Court has "saved face" for the LVV, but at the same time has created illusions among them that, with terrorizing pressures, they can win concessions in the future - concessions that could lead to the election of a Serb who is "good for power", but who does not represent the Serbian community in Kosovo."
This approach of the Constitutional Court, according to Hasani, "remains unjustified and, perhaps in the future, other circumstances will be created to clarify it."
