Despite the non-participation of the Democratic Party of Kosovo from the session and the withdrawal of Vlora Çitaku's candidacy for the position of deputy speaker, the process of constituting the Assembly concluded today, as all other candidates were elected.
The chairwoman of the session, Albulena Haxhiu, said that the Assembly "cannot remain hostage to anyone, to any political entity" and that the process will continue with the LDK's proposals.
The LDK candidate for vice president, Kujtim Shala, was elected with 75 votes in favor.
Meanwhile, after 8 failed candidacies from the Serbian List, the Assembly managed to elect Serbian MP Tanja Vujović, who also received votes from the Vetëvendosje Movement and some from the LDK.
From the non-Serb minorities, Bosniak MP Emilija Rexhepi was elected.
"I consider that the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo is considered constituted," said Haxhiu, before closing the session.
Meanwhile, the PDK had previously announced that it would not participate in the Assembly sessions until a decision is made by the Constitutional Court on the situation surrounding the constitution of the legislature. It said that the party's experts are preparing the case that will be addressed to this court regarding the constitution process. /LAPSI.al
