Director of the Balkan group from Pristina Naim Rashiti says that the process of normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo fell into great difficulties due to problems with the implementation of the agreements reached, but also due to political developments in Kosovo and in Serbia.

"This led to the fact that Prime Ministers of the two countries were not able to continue the dialogue," said Rashiti to Radio Free Europe.

Naim Rashiti, political analyst with the Pristina-based Balkans Group for Policy Research, argues in an opinion piece that if the Kosovo Assembly fails to elect the assembly presidency, political parties should reach a quick agreement for a broad-based government. According to Rashiti, a broad-based government (PDK, LDK, AAK and NISMA) would not have good governance as its priority, but it would help the country emerge from the current deadlock and perhaps even reach consensus on several capital issues.
