The paper reports on its front page that the legal arrangements in Kosovo provide no clear timelines as to when the President must task a prime minister nominee to form a new government, after the elections. “As a result, it is up to the President’s willingness any potential delay in the formation of a new Government,” the paper adds. Representatives of the President’s Office did not comment when Thaci will task a Prime Minister nominee to create a new government. Meanwhile representatives of the PAN coalition have said they are confident that a new government will be formed before the middle of July.
