After the Central Election Commission announced the final election results, representatives of political parties say they have not formed post-election coalitions to form a new government. The winning coalition consisting of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Nisma, which won 39 seats in parliament, and the Vetevendosje Movement, which has won 32 seats, are eyeing a possible agreement with coalition consisting of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), New Kosovo Alliance (AKR) and Alternativa, which was 29 seats. AAK deputy leader Pal Lekaj told Radio Free Europe that their candidate for Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj is talking to the LDK to form a ruling coalition, but that a concrete agreement has yet to be reached. According to Lekaj, the PAN coalition has already secured the required 61 votes that would adopt a Haradinaj-led government. “Mr. Haradinaj has said it himself, we have 61 MPs that will vote in favor of the Haradinaj government. In the next couple of days, we are expecting a possible coalition with other political parties, namely with the LDK and AKR. If we don’t reach an agreement with these two parties, we still have 61 MPs that will support a functioning government in the service of the people,” he added. Vetevendosje’s Shqipe Pantina told the news agency that her party does not have an agreement with any political party to form a new government, but she did not rule out a possible coalition with PAN MPs that would support a Vetevendosje-led government. “We have sent an invitation to the LDK, and its coalition partners the AKR and Alternativa, as well as to PAN MPs, individual MPs, that want and think they can see through the will of the people who this time clearly voted for change,” Pantina said. “Vetevendosje leader Visar Ymeri earlier had a telephone conversation with LDK leader Mustafa and we are waiting to start talks with them on harmonizing the government program. There are some issues for which we have different opinions, and this is natural because we are different parties. We also need to determine the priorities of a new government”. The news agency reports that the LDK-led coalition have yet to comment on a possible post-election coalition.
