LAA to address Court if PAN does not attend constitutive session
(Most monitored broadcasters, KTV)
PAN coalition will attend the consultative meeting on Wednesday and then it will decide how it will act regarding the constitutive session that the chairman has called for Thursday.
PDK deputy chairperson Enver Hoxhaj said they will go to Wednesday’s meeting with the same offer to Vetëvendosje and LAA coalition.
Candidate for Prime Minister from the LDK-AKR-Alternativa Coalition, Avdullah Hoti, continues to qualify PAN’s offer ridiculous. He warns that if PAN will continue to not attend the sessions and not propose name of the candidate for Assembly Speaker, the LAA Coalition will address the Constitutional Court.
But, LDK also seems to be far from a coalition with Vetëvendosje. Hoti said Vetëvendosje should initially seek apology for all the violent acts it has carried out, including throwing of teargas and Molotov cocktails at the Kosovo Police, breaking of the institutions, and then they will move forward to a co-operation with them.
He said that people do not change overnight, even if they start wearing ties, they remain the same ones.
The LDK’s unwillingness to give up major topics such as Demarcation, dialogue with Serbia, which are the main topics that have been intensely opposed by Vetëvendosje Movement, make reaching of this coalition even more difficult.
Hoti said that Haradinaj does not deserve to be the Prime Minister either, because he has been involved in violence that was exercised within the Assembly until yesterday.
However, LDK has red lines only for PDK and, according to Hoti, it was the LDK governance which cut the sources of unlawful financing of PDK, thus leading this political entity to the limits of existence which forced it to break the coalition with LDK.
