The state or the power? (Tribuna)
Xhavit Haliti, member of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, claims that based on the developments after the elections, the constitutive session of the Assembly was expected to fail and it did. This proved clearly and publicly that the democratic game of elections in Kosovo, a six year state, not recognized by five EU countries and not a member of the UN, it does not have for an objective consolidation, recognition and dignifying international presence, but taking over the power, without respecting the election results. It appears that the loosing parties entered election competition to take over the power, ignoring necessity for the consolidation of Kosovo state both in local and international field. The three opposition parties signed the alliance to share governing posts, without prior efforts to harmonize their election programmes.
The political game to take over the power is awaiting the decision of the Constitutional Court, while the process of consolidation and international confirmation of Kosovo state is and will continue to be a concern for the citizens and a challenge for politics. Our state, Kosovo, should be a co-production of efforts, war sacrifices, direct and determinant help of our great allies who are currently concerned about the political situation in Kosovo. Within this context, I consider that the hunger for power of the leaders of the Block, is affecting a several-year process of consolidation and confirmation of Kosovo state. Several years of negotiations between Pristina and Belgrade required courage and state-building responsibility and despite the price that the party had to pay, they moved forward the consolidation of Kosovo. With discussions in Brussels, PDK gave away power for the state. In my opinion, some recent developments aim power not state, which is in contradiction with our aspirations, being that we always lacked state not power. The price will certainly be paid by political forces which know how to agree on taking over the power, but exclude any consensus to consolidate the state, wrote Haliti.
