Constitutional Court suspends Osman's decree to dissolve the Kosovo Assembly, imposes temporary measure until the end of the month

The Constitutional Court has imposed a temporary measure until the end of this month against President Vjosa Osmani's decree to dissolve the Kosovo Assembly.
She said that the decision is ex officio and that it prohibits any action by President Osmani regarding the March 6 decree, as well as prohibits any action by the Kosovo Assembly while the temporary measure is in force.
The court said that the measure is valid until it decides the case and that it "is in the function of preventing the causing of irreparable damage to the constitutional order of Kosovo and the democratic functioning of key institutions in Kosovo."
This means that Osmani cannot announce a date for new elections while the measure is in force, after he dissolved the Assembly through a decree, which was challenged in the Constitutional Court by Prime Minister Albin Kurti's ruling party, the Vetevendosje Movement.
At the March 5 session, the ruling party presented two candidates for president: Glauk Konjufca and Fatmire Kollçaku-Mullhaxha, after preliminary talks between Kurti and the two main opposition parties, the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo, for a consensual name, had not borne fruit.
The session was interrupted due to lack of quorum, after being abandoned by opposition parties.
Some lawyers have interpreted that the Assembly will have to elect the president within 60 days of the start of the session to elect the president.
Former Constitutional Court President Enver Hasani told Radio Free Europe on March 6 that Osman's decree was "unconstitutional."
According to him, Osmani did not have the right to dissolve the Assembly and that the deputies, from March 5, have 60 days to elect the president.
The President of Kosovo is elected with two-thirds of the votes in the first two rounds or with 61 votes in the third round, but 80 deputies are needed in the chamber for the session to be held.
For the opposition parties, the two figures presented by the ruling party have been unacceptable and they have insisted on a political agreement or the presentation of a consensual figure.
Osmani herself aimed for a second term, but no one proposed her name.
For the ruling party, she did not have the necessary votes, while for other parties she did not personify the necessary unity that the figure of the president needs.
