The effect of using the Government confidence institute
Session
Law
Description
This paper deals with the effect of using the government's vote of confidence as one of the main instruments of parliamentary scrutiny, which extends the government's political responsibility to parliament. The paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the government confidence institute that directly addresses the political responsibility of the government and the consequences of using this institute in our country and countries of the region. Countries in the region that are in transition such as Albania, Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro have some common features as well as specifics when it comes to initiative, procedure and legal consequences. The opportunity of claiming a confidence motion against the Government as a control instrument is much more favorable in Macedonia than in other case study countries. How and how has this instrument of parliamentary control been implemented in Kosovo? In Kosovo, the no-confidence motion has been used and approved on two occasions: the no confidence motion against the Thaçi Government and the no-confidence motion against the Mustafa Government. The effect of using the government's vote of confidence in these two cases was the termination of the mandate of the deputies before the end of the mandate, the dissolution of two legislatures, and the holding of new early parliamentary elections in the Republic of Kosovo. Mixed methodology will be used in this paper.

The effect of using the Government confidence institute
Pristina, Kosovo
This paper deals with the effect of using the government's vote of confidence as one of the main instruments of parliamentary scrutiny, which extends the government's political responsibility to parliament. The paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the government confidence institute that directly addresses the political responsibility of the government and the consequences of using this institute in our country and countries of the region. Countries in the region that are in transition such as Albania, Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Montenegro have some common features as well as specifics when it comes to initiative, procedure and legal consequences. The opportunity of claiming a confidence motion against the Government as a control instrument is much more favorable in Macedonia than in other case study countries. How and how has this instrument of parliamentary control been implemented in Kosovo? In Kosovo, the no-confidence motion has been used and approved on two occasions: the no confidence motion against the Thaçi Government and the no-confidence motion against the Mustafa Government. The effect of using the government's vote of confidence in these two cases was the termination of the mandate of the deputies before the end of the mandate, the dissolution of two legislatures, and the holding of new early parliamentary elections in the Republic of Kosovo. Mixed methodology will be used in this paper.
