Hasani: Arbitrary decision by Osmani – by granting the mandate to Konjufca, she violated the Constitution

Former President of the Constitutional Court, Enver Hasani, stated that the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, violated the Constitution by granting the mandate to Glauk Konjufca to form a new government of Kosovo.

In the “Konfront” program on KTV, Hasani said that this decision was also arbitrary, explaining that Osmani cannot make a decision simply because she believes or feels that Konjufca has enough votes.

“First of all, this is an abuse of power, because the mandate of the Constitutional Court was given arbitrarily, and it constitutes a violation of the Constitution due to the failure to respect the objective, measurable criteria established by the Constitution—and above all, by two rulings of the Constitutional Court. The first ruling, as you know, established the standard known as the decisive criterion, which entails a measurable assessment of two values each time. Whichever has greater value had to be complemented by the second ruling, which determined that the constitutional right or prerogative of the election winner had been abused, and measurable criteria were established. It was stated that there was an attempt to avoid elections. Based on the assessment of these two prevailing criteria, avoiding elections cannot prevail under any circumstances. The discretionary power of the President of the Republic is not arbitrariness—it does not mean she can do whatever she wants. What Osmani did was completely subjective,” Hasani said, as reported by Koha.
