The paper reports in one of the front-page stories that the ruling coalition has failed to secure the necessary votes in parliament for the privatization of 75 percent of shares of the Kosovo Post and Telecom (PTK). This marks the first time that the three opposition parties joined forces and proved that Prime Minister Thaçi’s government does not have the majority in parliament and therefore calls were made for the government to resign.
The biggest surprise came from AAK MPs who abandoned the parliament hall together with LDK and Vetëvendosje MPs. The AAK is known to have supported the government’s decisions lately.
“We are against this privatization because we are confident that it does not match the interest of the people. This is why we are trying to prevent the decision for selling 75 percent of PTK shares,” a senior LDK official told the paper.
