Berim Ramosaj, a lecturer at the Faculty of Economics, says that in Kosovo political parties form unprincipled coalitions.
He emphasized that parties do not work for programs, but that discussions are held on a personal basis. According to Ramosaj, in Kosovo the struggle for power is not about ideas, but about positions.
“The fight for governance is not about programs here, it is about people. If the approach had been built that we govern with the aim of implementing the program that each party has, no one would be looking for names. Here, no one wastes a day to sit down for coalitions, for programs. Coalitions are made entirely on a personal basis, who will be the first. A serious party would have said ‘you won, keep the prime minister, but if you get my numbers, you will implement my program’. Here, unprincipled coalitions are made, entirely on a personal basis”, Ramosaj said in “Konfront”.
Sopi: Kurti’s game is to postpone the process until the local elections
Political analyst Agim Sopi has stated that Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s game is to postpone the process until the local elections that are expected to be held in October.
On Wednesday on KTV’s “Konfront”, Sopi said that on this occasion Kurti will attempt to justify himself to the electorate by saying that the entire opposition has come together, including the non-majority Serb community.
“Mr. Kurti’s game is to postpone the process until the local elections and justify himself to the electorate that the entire opposition has come together, together with the Serbian List, with Serbia, with Russia, with China, against him, while the opposition says that Mr. Kurti is coming to us as a dictator who wants to impose an unconstitutional reality on us because he wants to be an eternal patriarchal authority, which is impossible in a democratic state,” he said.
According to Sopi, the war being waged by the government and the opposition is absurd.
Sopi: The President’s invitation not to let laws become obstacles is dangerous
Opinionist on KTV’s “Konfront”, Agim Sopi, said that President Vjosa Osmani’s invitation that laws not become an obstacle to the constitution of the Parliament is a very dangerous message.
According to him, Osmani tells MPs that they can break the law because they are now elected by the people, which Sopi says is wrong.
Sopi added that the Constitution should be interpreted as it is, not according to wishes.
“If we refer to the President’s statement, which says to find a way to overcome, that is, so that the laws do not become an obstacle, this means that it is a very dangerous message, because telling the deputies who have won the votes, have been certified and have come to be sworn in to the Assembly, that they can violate the law because they are now deputies, from the first day of the Assembly, is a very dangerous message that is conveyed to the audience. In other words, in this case they are interpreted according to your wishes, and not according to the letters of the Constitution. The Constitution is the superior legal act of a country,” he said.
Ramosaj: How can someone behave as an MP when they haven’t even taken the oath yet?
Berim Ramosaj, lecturer at the Faculty of Economics, said that the behavior of the elected representatives of the people for the ninth legislature of the Assembly was not accidental in the constitutive session.
According to him, almost all representatives had gone to the constitutive session knowing that it would not take place.
“Almost everyone was motivated for that kind of behavior, to go and do nothing. How can someone behave like an MP when they have not been sworn in as an MP. Until they are sworn in or take on the role, they are individuals who should have rational behavior,” he said on “Konfront.”
Ramosaj added that the role of a deputy officially begins with his oath in the Assembly, and that without taking the oath, he is not considered a deputy.
“The mindset built that they are MPs is a mindset of their potentially possible behavior. While the formal side begins at the moment of the oath because you can win the votes for MP, until the moment of voting you can have an accident, you can go to jail, no one recognizes you as an MP. It begins institutionally at the moment they take the oath.”
