Hasani: Kurti is creating an institutional crisis to avoid obligations under the Ohrid Agreement

Former President of the Constitutional Court of Kosovo Enver Hasani assessed that the current institutional deadlock was unconstitutional and that delaying the constitution of the Assembly was being used to avoid obligations arising from the 2023 Ohrid Agreement, Gazeta Express reported.

Hasani said that the current institutional deadlock was unconstitutional and that the delay in constituting the Assembly represented an attempt to avoid implementing the obligations arising from the Ohrid Annex.

"I am convinced that Kurti is running away from the Ohrid Annex. Through his actions against Kosovo's constitutional order, Kurti is running away from the past, but the further he runs, the closer his responsibility catches up with him," Hasani told Gazeta Express.

He said that the decision not to schedule a continuation of the constitutive session until an agreement was reached on the election of the President of Kosovo was "completely unconstitutional and arbitrary," assessing that such conduct would remain "a black mark in the country's political and constitutional history."

Hasani believes that Kurti, or whoever succeeds him, will ultimately have to implement the obligations arising from the Ohrid Annex.

"Whoever implements it will do so on behalf of Mr. Kurti, as the sole architect of that obligation," Hasani said.

In February this year, Hasani assessed that transferring responsibility for the Dialogue with Belgrade to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was part of Albin Kurti's propaganda aimed at preparing the ground for the implementation of obligations arising from the Ohrid Agreement.

At the time, Hasani also said that Kurti had accepted political autonomy for Serbs in Kosovo in Ohrid in 2023, including the Community of Serb-Majority Municipalities.
