Hashim Thaci, leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), said today that his party’s chairmanship gave full support to the agreement with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) for the formation of new institutions. Thaci did not want to say who will get the post of the Prime Minister, saying that working groups are working on this. Thaci also said the new institutions will be based on Western standards and reforms will focus on economic development and integration in Euro-Atlantic mechanisms. “We believe the agreement is the best possible solution for the people of Kosovo.

Editor-in-chief of the news website, Adrian Collaku, says that the agreement formalised last night between leaders of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Hashim Thaci and Isa Mustafa, but actually agreed upon last week in Berlin, would be a surprise if it had happened a month ago but at this stage, such a development was expected. Despite this, a part of LDK staunch supporters have still been shocked by Mustafa’s move to join PDK. “Mustafa turned out to be an unpredictable player.

The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK,) tried these days to send AAK, Vetevendosje and Nisma to opposition, by reaching an agreement with PDK. In order to reach this, he plans “to gain support” of the General Council of his party today. However, his partners decoded this game.

While Isa Mustafa is making his last efforts to give a deadly blow to the coalition block, through some minor games at the General Council of his party,  his former partners have undertaken concrete measures to push him towards opposition.

Lutfi Haziri, member of the chairmanship of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), told reporters in Pristina today that LDK will continue to meet heads of branches and other structures before the meeting of the LDK General Assembly on Wednesday afternoon. “In line with the post-election coalition agreement and with respect to our role and the roles of our partners, we are trying to find a way forward for the establishment of institutions and to end the political stalemate that has engulfed Kosovo since 10 June,” Haziri said after today’s meeting of the LDK chairmanship.

Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), writes on his Facebook account today: “The Democratic League of Kosovo has shown its commitment to make necessary changes for good governance in the country together with the post-election coalition. There are two new circumstances that have made it difficult for the coalition to reach these objectives. First, the decision of the Constitutional Court to give only the PDK the right to nominate the Assembly Speaker.

Vjosa Osmani, the most voted deputy of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK,) after its leader, Isa Mustafa, stated before entering the meeting of LDK’s leadership that she does not change her mind and that she will not vote for the proposal for coalition with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK.)

It is assumed that members of LDK leadership will discuss creation of new institutions without coalition block. Isa Mustafa, wrote today on his Facebook page that new (political) momentums impose new behaviors.

Avni Arifi, adviser to the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK,) said that it is early to say if AAK would make a coalition with the Democratic League of Kosovo (PDK,) if the coalition block does not nominate Ramush Haradinaj for Prime Minister of Kosovo.

Leader of Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and outgoing Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, had this morning separate meetings with the Germany’s Foreign Ministry director for south-east Europe, Ernst Reichel, the US ambassador, Tracey Ann Jacobson, and President, Atifete Jahjaga. According to lajmi.net, this round of intensive meetings is expected to very soon produce concrete results regarding the need to establish new institutions.

It seems the political situation in Kosovo has no solution, remarks in an opinion piece editor-in-chief of the Gazeta Blic news website, Adrian Collaku. He says that the “unprecedented” blockade by the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Hashim Thaci, the chairperson of the Kosovo Assembly session, Flora Brovina, and the President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, seems to leave no other option but to take to the streets.

According to Adriatik Kelmendi the current blockade by the Democratic Party of Kosovo is not a principled one; neither is it a state building, emancipating or a moral one. No one can ever say that a political party cannot be part of an institution, or the executive if it manages to make the majority at the Assembly, in cooperation with some other party. However, everyone would consider pretensions of a party which does not have the majority, an occupation.
