Kosovo Assembly held today its last session for this year. The session began with the annual address of President of Kosovo Atifete Jahjaga to the MPs where she said that Kosovo is experiencing a deep political and moral crisis which is challenging the democratic consensus. She said she believed that Kosovo’s elected representatives would be able to leave their daily agendas aside for the common good but expressed determination to continue playing the role entrusted to her by the Constitution of Kosovo and be a factor of unity and upholder of democratic functioning of institutions. Jahjaga said further that she understands the concern of the citizens of Kosovo regarding the agreements with Serbia and Montenegro but that she firmly believes a way out can be found through dialogue. “I believe we all know by now that no party will score victory. We will not turn violence into a political mean because that would undo and destroy Kosovo. But at the same time, no one enjoys the right of arbiter in Kosovo,” said Jahjaga. The members of the opposition however boycotted Jahjaga’s speech. The Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) MP Enver Hoti said Jahjaga’s speech was biased and that this whole time she failed to perform her role. “She was supposed to have a unifying role, instead she leaned towards the government,” claimed Hoti. Following Jahjaga’s speech, the ruling parties decided to resume the session in the alternative chamber where opposition MPs were not allowed to attend.
