**Liechtenstein Parliament Approves “Fristenlösung” Initiative by One Vote**
*Vaduz, 3 September 2026* – The Landtag of Liechtenstein voted in favor of the popular initiative titled “Fristenlösung für Liechtenstein” (Deadline Solution for Liechtenstein) with a narrow majority of 13 to 12. The decision was taken in a session attended by 25 members.
The vote followed a multi‑hour debate that, according to parliamentary records, extended well beyond the core criminal‑law issues raised by the initiative. Lawmakers discussed a range of related topics, though the specific content of those discussions was not detailed in the official summary.
The initiative, which had been presented to the public as a “Fristenlösung,” seeks to introduce a statutory framework concerning time limits for certain legal proceedings. The Landtag’s approval means the proposal will now move forward to implementation, subject to the standard legislative process.
The close result underscores the divided stance among legislators on the matter, with the final decision hinging on a single vote. No further statements from individual members were released at the time of the vote.
