Democratic Party of Kosovo MP ( The PDK, Arian Tahiri, along with Altin Krasniqi, the son of the former head of the Parliament and one of the former KLA heads, Jakup Krasniqi, have stayed in the square where protests are under way in terms of the Law’s approval for the Specialised Chambers.
Tahiri, in a statement to reporters, has criticised the use of tear gas to protesters, saying citizens are respectfully protesting and are seeking approval of the law.
It is unacceptable to use tear gas and practice violence against Kosovo citizens who with great dignity and pride cheer up U ndo D K, KLAım, and ask for the law to be voted on. This is a very reasonable, necessary and necessary request at this time, Tahiri said.
He has clarified that, along with Krasniqi, he has stood in the square, while other PDK deputies are in the Assembly, in accordance with, as he said, the citizens’ demand that MPs stay in the institution and vote on the law.
I’m with Eric, my colleague. The other colleagues are in the Kosovo Assembly because the Kosovo citizens’ demand has been for MPs to stay in the Assembly today and adopt the law as a whole, Tahiri has declared.
He has remembered that the law has been adopted in the first reading, while demanding that the same be voted in the second reading.
Our request was to vote on second reading. We proposed the motion but found no support. Only a few hours left, and all we’re looking for is that Vetevendosje and Albin Kurti return to the Assembly and vote on the law, Tahiri has indicated.
According to him, approval of the Law for Specialised Chambers should be addressed separately by the presidential election issue.
Law is the national duty of all of us, it is institutional duty and we need to get back to the Assembly, where we will stay, and vote the law, he said.
Tahiri has rejected the possibility that the issue of the law is linked to the president’s election process, stressing that it is on two different issues.
The president’s issue should not be used to create a political market and should not be related to the law. The law is a national obligation, while the president is political responsibility, Tahiri has declared.
In the end, he has called for political consensus on electing the president, but has reiterated that the priority — according to him — remains the law vote.
It is very helpful to find consensus under these circumstances and reach agreement on electing the president. But the important thing is for the law to be voted on, Tahiri has concluded. /Telegraphy.
