The law on the Specialist Chambers, Hamza: The Assembly can also annul international agreements

The chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Bedri Hamza, has commented on the approval of the amendments to the Law on the Specialist Chambers, adopted in yesterday’s session of the Kosovo Assembly, as Telegrafi reports.

Hamza said that the Assembly and the MPs have fulfilled their responsibility, assessing that the law was adopted in a regular and procedural manner.

“The Assembly has done its job, the MPs have done their job. One of the main duties and responsibilities of the Assembly is to approve laws. The Assembly approves laws, while those who are obliged to implement them must implement the laws,” Hamza declared.

He said that the PDK considers that the legal amendments were approved in accordance with the procedures and that the law is applicable.

“We consider that the Assembly approved the law in a regular, procedural manner and I have said that the law is applicable to everyone,” he stressed.

Hamza also mentioned the Assembly’s powers to amend the Constitution and international agreements, arguing that the institution has the right to take such actions within its competences.

“On the contrary, the Assembly has the right to amend the Constitution, to annul international agreements, and to enter into international agreements,” Hamza declared.

The amendments to the Law on the Specialist Chambers were approved in the Assembly after a period of protests in Pristina, where citizens demanded changes to this law.
