The period of three months or 90 days during which the newly elected Parliament must form the Government starts when the elections are validated. Consequently, based on the constitutional provisions, Parliament of the tenth legislature should have completed the formation of the Government by June 7, 2019 inclusive, the Constitutional Court (CC) specified in a press release issued on June 8, IPN reports.

The Court noted it made the clarification at the request of the media, which asked to specify the deadline by which the Government was to be formed following yesterday’s judgement by which the President’s application was rejected as inadmissible.

According to the CC, the President’s question about the time limit for dissolving Parliament was already the object of a previous official interpellation concerning the given constitutional provisions and the application was therefore rejected as inadmissible.

The CC’s judgement of June 7 is definitive, cannot be challenged and takes effect when it is passed.
