Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), walked out of the meeting of political leaders called by Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga and attended by Prime Minister Isa Mustafa and Principal Deputy Prime Minister Hashim Thaci. Haradinaj told reporters that he had requested the dissolution of the Parliament and new parliamentary elections. Haradinaj also said that another request of the opposition bloc is for the President of Kosovo to be elected directly by the people. “There is lack of investments and the rule of law is extremely politicized. Our foreign policy is failing too. The country needs to hold early elections and the President must be elected directly by the people,” he added. Haradinaj also said that the opposition bloc remains united for the upcoming popular protest scheduled for February 17.
