Kosovo’s governing and opposition parties want new elections after Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj resigned, but President Hashim Thaci has still not made the first move towards setting a date.
Following the surprise resignation earlier this month of Kosovo’s premier Ramush Haradinaj, after he was invited for questioning as a suspect by war crimes prosecutors in The Hague, pressure has increased on President Hashim Thaci to call early elections.
None of the country’s ruling coalition partners seem interested in proposing a new prime minister and have said they are in favour of new elections.
But Thaci, who is responsible for calling a consultative meeting of the country’s governing parties and setting the date of the elections, has not yet done so, sparking criticism.
If Thaci does not act, MPs can dissolve parliament, and if this happens, the president is obliged to set an election date within 45 days.
