PDK says it will file Constitutional Court challenge to Kurti 4 government
Published · Updated
What happened
The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) said on 2026-09-15 that it would file a Constitutional Court referral contesting the formation of the Kurti 4 government. The announcement opened a second legal track alongside the existing dispute over Assembly leadership.
Why it matters
A new Constitutional Court case against the government's formation can alter the operating room for the cabinet, the Assembly, and the presidency if judges accept the filing or issue temporary measures. It also gives opposition parties a formal venue to challenge whether the current institutions were constituted in line with constitutional procedure.
PDK announced on 2026-09-15 that it will submit a separate case to Kosovo's Constitutional Court challenging the formation of the Kurti 4 government. The move extends the institutional dispute beyond the Assembly leadership contest into the legal basis of the cabinet itself. If the Court accepts the case and orders interim measures, government planning and parliamentary scheduling could be disrupted within days.
