Today is the deadline which internationals in general and Americans in particular have given to political leaders in Kosovo to resolve the five-month long stalemate. Yesterday, leaders of political parties – Thaci on one hand, and Mustafa, Kurti, Haradinaj, and Limaj on the other – got caught off-guard by the sharp statement of the US ambassador Tracey Ann Jacobson during a public debate. Apart from labeling corruption as being widespread in political parties, Jacobson also spoke about the political crisis. Gazeta Blic has learnt that following yesterday’s remarks, Jacobson went straight to the President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga. After she came out of the meeting, around 16.00 hrs, Isa Mustafa and Ramush Haradinaj were seen going into Jahjaga’s office for a meeting. Sources from Jahjaga’s office said that Mustafa and Haradinaj expressed readiness for withdrawing their claims to the Assembly speaker post on condition that they get to form the government. However, the prospect of this happening is quite unclear as Jacobson said that “nothing guarantees” that the second candidate will form the government as this thing is not only determined by the numbers in the Assembly.
