Chairperson of the Constitutive Session

Chairperson of the Constitutive Session of the Assembly of Kosovo (Albanian: Kryesuesi i seancës konstituive të Kuvendit të Kosovës, Serbian: Председавајући конститутивне седнице Скупштине Косова, romanized: Predsedavajući konstitutivne sednice Skupštine Kosova) is traditionally the oldest and youngest elected members of a new legislature, who temporarily preside over the inaugural session. The oldest member usually leads the proceedings, while the youngest assists.

Their role is largely ceremonial and symbolic, representing continuity and renewal within the democratic process. During the session, the mandates of elected members are verified, oaths of office are taken, and the legislature is officially constituted. Though temporary, their role is essential for ensuring the constitutional and procedural legitimacy of the new legislative term.
