The front page editorial of this paper criticizes the Democratic Party of Kosovo for constantly bragging about being the most consolidated, powerful and successful party in governing Kosovo, while the results continuously show the opposite. “In fact, this party resembles more and more the Working Party of communist Albania, in which the leader was god and others could not even breathe without his permission. The announcement of the election of Veseli as leader of this party clearly illustrates lack of democracy in the party.”

The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) has strongly condemned the setting alight of the car owned by the party’s head of parliamentary group Ismet Beqiri. “This low criminal act is an attack directed at the institutions, legitimate representatives and against the democratic functioning of the Republic of Kosovo,” the LDK said in a statement.

The recently elected president of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, said in an interview for Tribuna Channel that he would not return to the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) after conclusion of his mandate as president. He added that his return would not be healthy for democracy. According to him, it would not be good to return from the position of president to the party or to create a new one. “Return to the party, establishment of a new party or return at an executive level, are closed processes for me,” Thaci said.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) condemned the attempt to burn the vehicle of PDK’s parliamentary group chief Adem Grabovci last night. “The attempt to burn the private vehicle of PDK’s parliamentary group chief Adem Grabovci is a criminal act in the wake of similar attacks taking place against state officials, with the aim to create a climate of fear and insecurity in society. The Democratic Party of Kosovo calls on the relevant authorities to as soon as possible bring the perpetrators of these acts to justice.

As the Kosovo Assembly MP from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Sabri Hamiti, was making, as he said, a short statement, which was the last announced speech for today’s session at the Assembly, teargas was thrown from the seats where the opposition MPs were seated. After this, Deputy President of the Assembly, from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Xhavit Haliti announced a ten minute break.

Deputy President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Xhavit Haliti, from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), said that there is no reason for confrontation between the government and the opposition. He said that there is no reason for PDK supporters to be confrontational. “I am not aware of any call to for confrontation,” Haliti said after his meeting with the Head of the Committee for Foreign Trade and Customs of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Semsudin Mehmedovic.

Today, Adriatik Kelmendi praised the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, for participating in the meeting called by the President of Kosovo Atifete Jahjaga, in an attempt to find a solution to the political crisis. “To reach a situation that is beneficial for all, often one must act courageously, despite the danger this may incur for one's personal position. There is no doubt that this is applicable to Ramush Haradinaj,” Kelmendi writes.
