The Motion of No Confidence as a Mean of Parliamentary Control in Relation to the Government and the Dissolution of the Parliament: A Comparative View Between Kosovo, France, Germany, Italy and Croatia

Abstract

From the treatment that has been given to the role of the motion of confidence-no-confidence as a means of controlling the parliament in relation to the government and its effects that are produced in the inauguration of the government or in the dissolution of the assembly and the announcement of early elections, efforts have been made to underline the characteristics of this means of control, especially in countries with a parliamentary system, and the consequences it produces in the continuation or shortening of the governing mandate. When it comes to obtaining the confidence of the government through a motion of no confidence by the parliament, one naturally thinks of a rather harsh political and constitutional mean that exposes the political responsibility of the prime minister and his government cabinet or ministerial council. In the most adequate treatment of this issue, the comparative method between different states has been used, drawing parallels between the Republic of Kosovo and these states, in terms of the motion of no confidence as an extraordinary means of parliamentary control. The role of the President of the State in such a political momentum is extremely important, in creating the conditions for a government that enjoys parliamentary support.
