Avdullah Hoti, head of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) parliamentary group and LAA coalition’s candidate for prime minister, said their candidate for the post of Kosovo Assembly deputy speaker is Kujtim Shala, former minister of culture. “LDK leadership, based on its competencies decided to propose MP Kujtim Shala for the post of deputy speaker,” Hoti said. He added that Shala is a twice-elected MP and has vast experience in the political life in Kosovo.

Kosovo Assembly has five deputy speakers, three from Albanian parties with most votes and two from minority communities. They are elected in the same manner as Assembly Speaker.
