The leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi, has begun consultations for taking on the post of Kosovo president in 2016. Sources from Thaci’s cabinet confirmed that the PDK leader is discussing his candidacy with party leadership and his advisors. His campaign is also expected to begin soon. Sources said that although the current coalition agreement with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) specifies Thaci’s election to the post of president next year, there are certain LDK MPs who oppose the idea. At the same time, Thaci is reported to be prepared to face two possible alternatives. Run directly for the post in presidential elections, if the Constitution paving way for such a scenario is amended before 2016, or win the support of MPs through an Assembly vote.
