Skopje, 26 June 2025 (MIA) — The motion for a no-confidence vote against Constitutional Court president Darko Kostadinovski, filed on June 4 by the European Front parliamentary group, will be discussed at Parliament's 59th session scheduled for July 9.

European Front MP Ilir Hasani said the motion was based on Article 72, paragraph 1 and paragraph 2 of the Constitution. 

Hasani said Kostadinovski had knowingly violated the Law on the Use of Languages ​​and Article 101 of the Law on the Constitutional Court.

"This motion does not aim to put pressure on the Constitutional Court, unlike previous motions that have clearly been politically motivated," he said.

"Our aim is to lead an institutional debate on the work of this institution and its president's role in respecting the Constitution and existing laws," the European Front MP said.

According to Hasani, Kostadinovski is prejudiced against the Albanian language. 

The Constitutional Court responded in an official press release saying Kostadinovski would not be commenting on any political statements.

According to the release, "the Constitutional Court has been placed above the three branches of government because it is the controller of their actions, acts and activities."

"The autonomy and independence of the Constitutional Court and of constitutional justices have the strongest constitutional guarantee. The Constitution does not allow Parliament to influence in any way the competences, the manner of election or the dismissal of constitutional judges," the Constitutional Court's release said. 

"The authority of Parliament ends the moment it elects the judges," the release said. mr/
