Xhaferi says his decisions on referendum motion are correct

Xhaferi says his decisions on referendum motion are correct
Skopje, 14 October 2022 (MIA) – Taking into account my six mandates and the experience as Parliament Speaker, a position that primarily implies taking responsibility, I have no doubts that the two decisions I made are completely correct, including these on the referendum motions, said Parliament Speaker Talat Xhaferi, adding that in such context he hasn’t done anything that is beyond his competence.   In an interview with Sloboden Pechat, Xhaferi pointed out that particularly in this period there is an obligation to ensure the functionality of the Parliament.  “The Parliament, particularly in this period when we have already started the process, should be functional, to complete its obligations, above all to ensure the functionality of other institutions,” Xhaferi said.   He said he believes in the responsibility of the MPs before the citizens and the state as a constitutional obligation, noting that negotiations are being conducted as part of the "Jean Monnet" process to specify the rules of procedure regarding the role and competences of the parliamentary committees.
