Ardian Gjini, member of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), considers that the created situation during this last month imposes finding of a new solution. However, he adds, prior to any possible solution, one should consider the damages caused to the political process in Kosovo, not only during the 17 recent months, but from December 2010. Gjini notes that the Constitution of Kosovo has been abused many times since then. He considers that economic, social and security crisis are not as terrible as the loss of faith of the people of Kosovo. According to him, many are wondering how it can be possible that there was much more hope during the nineties than now. “I believe that the answer is simple. We trusted each other at that time, even though we did not have an effective written constitution.”
He considers that the only exit strategy from the current situation is a political pact for free and fair elections. “Elections could be also considered a referendum for current controversial decisions and policies,” writes Gjini adding that if the same parties win, then the others should remain quiet and vice versa.
“The second option is ignoring of the situation and insisting for this current government to end its mandate. Choosing this road would impose continuous blockade of the Assembly by the opposition until the new elections or until deputies are violently expelled from the Assembly. This solution would again lead towards elections, but in this case under very unpredictable circumstances,” he writes. According to him, Kosovo needs a pact for new elections because “they are going to happen anyhow, and that very soon.”
