Rrustemi from the Assembly: We are all here, we await reflection from the opposition

The Vetevendosje Movement MP Adnan Rrustemi has said that the MPs are in the Assembly and are awaiting the opposition’s reflection in order to continue with the session, where first the Law on the Specialist Chambers would be voted on and then the president.

Rrustemi, on “Debat Plus”, said that in this way the aim is to provide the country with stable institutions, as well as a law and a state strategy to face the judgment of the Specialist Court.

“We are all MPs here; we await the reflection of the opposition MPs so that we go into session to vote on the law and then the president, and in this way give the country stable institutions, and also a law and then also a state strategy to face the unfair judgment of the Specialist Court,” Rrustemi said.

Rrustemi also spoke about the 72-hour deadline between the two readings of the draft law, saying that this requirement is provided for in the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, but that, according to him, the PDK’s interpretation is that avoiding this deadline would not necessarily mean a conflict with the relevant provision.

“It is true that the reference in the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly of Kosovo requires 72 hours from the approval in the first reading; however, in the PDK’s interpretation, avoidance does not also mean a conflict with this provision of the Rules – but we are ready to make sacrifices up to this point just so that we elect the president and avoid elections. The KLA belongs to everyone and is bigger than all of us together; the KLA also belongs to those who have not yet been born – whoever politicises it and uses it for party interests is wrong and diminishes himself,” Rrustemi said.

He said the KLA issue must be treated as an issue that goes beyond party interests, warning that using it for political interests is wrong.
