The paper’s editor-in-chief Arbana Xharra observes that the increase of tensions between the two political groupings in Kosovo has activated the “special war” with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) on one hand having the right to nominate a candidate for Assembly speaker and on the other, the parties making the majority in the Assembly – Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK), Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) and Vetevendosje – whose right to nominate a candidate was not recognised by the Constitutional Court. Postponement of the Assembly session, writes Xharra, began with the “special war” aimed at breaking up the post-election bloc and convincing the Serbian List not to vote for the bloc’s candidate. All possible efforts are underway to try and recruit MPs and secure sufficient votes in the Assembly.
Many have turned their eyes on the president, Atifete Jahjaga, not knowing that the is powerless in resolving the current deadlock for the facts that without the votes from other parties, including the PDK, she would not be at the post she is. Internationals, at the same time, have been saying they do not wish to interfere in internal affairs of Kosovo but, according to Xharra, solution to the situation will not be possible without international intervention.
