Kosova Sot front page editorial writes that the major parties of the current coalition, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK,) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK,) agreed in 2011 on the changes of the election law and changes of the Constitution of Kosovo, including the election of the President. However, these pledges remained only in paper and they were never fulfilled. This daily holds the two major parties responsible for the failure and adds that this time, they should reflect in cooperation with the opposition.

Brussels-based correspondent Augustin Palokaj writes that since the Kosovo institutions are created as a result of personal bargaining, behind closed doors, and knowing the low level of trust that has remained in political parties, would be good that at least the Kosovo President is chosen by citizens directly. Only in that way, although with limited powers, the President would be able to play the role of a unifier.

Serbian MPs and Ministers in Kosovo Assembly left the session of the parliament, dissatisfied with the rejection of their amendments for the draft budget for 2015.

Parliamentary Committee for the Budget and Finances, after the general discussion on budget, didn’t adopt amendments of the Serbian MPs to increase the budget for returns, Ministry of Local self-governance, four municipalities in the north and municipalities Partes, Pasjane and Klokot in southern Kosovo.

The front-page editorial of Kosova Sot newspaper writes that the new government of Kosovo, led by the former leader of the largest opposition party, cannot be justified by the little time available, to propose to Parliament a draft law on budget prepared by the previous government.

Kosovo Women's Network (KWN) expressed their dissatisfaction with the draft law on budget for 2015. Koha writes that according to this organization, the draft law on budget does not adequately reflect the needs of citizens and does not create opportunities for the application of the laws in force in Kosovo.

With 81 votes in favor, 28 against and 1 abstention, Kosovo Assembly approved the formation of 14 parliamentary committees. Representatives from the opposition parties expressed their dissatisfaction with the allocation of these committees. Speaker of the Parliament, Kadri Veseli said that the number of committees can be changed, but it is required to have a two-thirds vote.

The President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, held today her annual speech before the Kosovo Assembly MPs. In a special session, boycotted by the opposition, Jahjaga listed the progress and challenges Kosovo faced in 2014.

Opposition parties – Vetevendosje, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) – are boycotting the annual address of the Kosovo President, Atifete Jahjaga, to the Kosovo Assembly. Jahjaga is presenting her year’s work in her address. AAK MP, Donika Kadaj-Bujupi, accused President Jahjaga for, as she said, ignoring the parliamentary majority. "Her unconstitutional actions enabled Hashim Thaci and his group to govern again. She is responsible for the bad things that have happened to the country. This is why the AAK left the session", said Kadaj-Bujupi.

The President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, is expected to address today Kosovo Assembly MPs while the Assembly will again convene later in the day in an effort to form parliamentary commissions. The proposal on which the Assembly presidency agreed includes creation of fourteen commissions and if this proposal doesn’t receive the necessary votes, the MPs will then vote on the creation of thirteen commissions.

On a front page editorial, Kosova Sot newspaper writes that with the current sharing formula of the parliamentary committees, the opposition is unable to oversee the work of the new government. Out of 14 committees, ten were allocated to the power-sharing coalition parties, while only four were left to the opposition parties. The paper writes that despite the fact that two major parties are in coalition, it is not fair and it is a serious violation of parliamentary democracy if the opposition is marginalized in this way, .
