KTV’s editor-in-chief, Adriatik Kelmendi, says that just as the June elections brought no absolute winners, so will the current political situation bring none of the political blocs as absolute winners. In fact, it turns out, elections produced only losers who, unable to form institutions, are risking making the people of Kosovo losers as well. Kelmendi warns that if the situation is not resolved in the next two-three weeks and new elections are announced for no reasons, it means that as of February, there will be no salaries from the Kosovo budget. In this situation, political leaders should accept giving up something for the greater good of the people. First, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) should accept its defeat, suggests Kelmendi, and realize that the idea of forming a government is a mission impossible. As the leading party in elections, it should, therefore, be entitled to propose its own candidate for assembly speaker. At the same time, the four parties gathered in the post-election coalition bloc, should realize that they need to lose something despite the fact they have the numbers in the Assembly. Isa Mustafa and Ramush Haradinaj should understand that they cannot have both the government and the speaker’s post and they should decide who will take what post. Meanwhile, President Atifete Jahjaga should step up her efforts in resolving the situation by “accurately reflecting”. The best solution, according to Kelmendi, would be for the PDK to take the speaker’s post while the post-election coalition forms the new government. “This would have to be the President’s unblocking stance”, he writes.
