The Commission for Constitutional Change, in which will be discussed the
Presidential election, will enter the final phase this Monday.
But this commission created on April 2011 has not dealt with another issue, which some institution leaders had mentioned frequently, the finalization of Kosovo’s supervised independence.
Arsim Bajrami, who chairs this Commission, says for Top Channel that they are ready to treat this issue, but they need an additional mandate, and this depends on the joint evaluations of local and international leadership for the progress made so far.
“It is up to the Kosovo institutions and the leadership of the country to evaluate if there is a need for further Constitutional changes, especially for the supervised independence or the so-called transition dispositions, which are in the Constitution. If this evaluation shows that time has come to review them, the commission is ready to deal with this issue. But we need a clear political mandate, an international agreement, because Kosovo has a supervised independence and the progress evaluation is made by the International Group, as regards the Ahtisaari Plan implementation”, Bajrami declared.
According to Bajrami, this would be easier, for the fact that all that is needed is a repeal of the dispositions related to supervised independence, competences that will automatically pass to the local institutions.
