(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 15 LUG - Kosovo's parliament failed once again today in its 47th attempt to elect a new speaker, following the February 9 elections. The majority party, Vetevendosje (Self-Determination), once more proposed a secret ballot, but lawmakers rejected the motion. Vetevendosje pushed for the change in recent weeks after its government-backed candidate, Albulena Haxhiu, failed six times in a row to secure the minimum 61 votes required for election. The failure to elect a speaker and complete the formation of the new Assembly continues to block the formation of a new government. The deadlock has paralyzed Kosovo's institutions and public life — lawmakers have stalled numerous draft laws, authorities have postponed signing international agreements, officials have suspended the review of the national budget, and institutions have delayed key appointments. The government also cannot submit requests for millions of euros in EU funding. Meanwhile, talks with Belgrade face ongoing postponements. On June 26, the Constitutional Court intervened in the power struggle between the government and opposition, which has persisted since the parliament's first session on April 15. The court imposed a strict 30-day deadline for electing the parliamentary speaker and finalizing the Assembly. Although the judges did not clarify the consequences of missing the deadline, many believe that if the deadlock continues past July 26, Kosovo may face new elections. (ANSA).
