Kosovo goes to elections again - President Osmani decrees the dissolution of the

The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has announced that she has issued a decree dissolving the Parliament, leading the country towards new elections.

In a press conference, Osmani said that she appeared before the citizens because, according to her, the people's representatives decided last night that the country should go to new elections.

"I am here before you because the people's representatives decided last night to send the country to new elections. This situation was avoidable. It is a great misfortune that they did not choose the interest of Kosovo. Therefore, today, in accordance with my constitutional powers, I have issued a decree to dissolve the Assembly ," the president said.

Speaking about the failure of the efforts to elect the president on the evening of March 5, Osmani said that this was not a random situation, but according to her, a deliberate political calculation.

"In a constitutional republic, there is something that is above party calculations and the interests of the moment: the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo. The Constitution is not a ceremonial text. It is our common contract as a state. It is the boundary that politics cannot cross and the compass that institutions cannot lose. Last night, efforts to elect a new president failed. This failure was neither accidental nor thoughtless, but on the contrary very well calculated and conceived, unfortunately ," Osmani added.

According to her, the Constitution clearly states that the deadline for electing the president ends at midnight on Thursday. The extraordinary session of the Kosovo Assembly called for the election of the country's president was closed late last night, as there was not a sufficient quorum for the voting process to take place.
