Failure of the Bloc – victory for Thaci (Zeri)
The paper’s editor-in-chief, Arbana Xharra, says that although the parties that have recently joined a coalition bloc have exchanged in the past quite a few allegations, have now gathered around a joint cause to bring down Hashim Thaci. In this journey, the leaders of these parties made some painful compromises and these include, most notably, the leader of Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Isa Mustafa, renouncing the post of prime minister and giving it to the leader of Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj. On the other hand, there is the leader of Vetevendosje, Albin Kurti, who has changed his position on the dialogue with Belgrade and is now insisting on redefining the agreements reached so far.
The opposition bloc, along with Vetevendosje, now stand the chance to prove they can send Thaci in the opposition, claims Xharra. Vetevendosje’s initiative for reaching an agreement with the other three parties should be concluded in seriousness as its failure would only go into strengthening Thaci’s position.
Even if LDK, AAK and NISMA reach an agreement with Vetevendosje, they should know that this in itself does not solve all the problems in Kosovo and that the new government should be made of a team that wants to see major changes in the way Kosovo had been run so far.
