Leader of Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Isa Mustafa, before signing coalition agreement with leader of Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Hashim Thaci, had imposed certain conditions to the PDK, the main one being that Mustafa becomes the future prime minister of Kosovo. Sources inside the LDK said that if this condition is not met, there will be no coalition agreement between with PDK. Mustafa is also reported to have insisted on the new government not including any official that has been implicated in corruption or any other illegal activity. Furthermore, Mustafa demanded the new government consists of three women ministers.
However, PDK has yet to officially endorse LDK taking the prime minister post. The party’s deputy leader, Hajredin Kuci, stated recently that government posts, including that of prime minister, have not yet been agreed on.
At the same time, sources from the PDK said that its leader, Hashim Thaci, is putting pressure on Atifete Jahjaga stepping down so that he can become president of Kosovo right away. This, according to the source, would pave way for the Assembly Speaker, President and Prime Minister to be elected in the upcoming Assembly session.
