BELGRADE - Director of Serbian government's Office for Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) Marko Djuric said that Serb representatives in the province are ready to participate in the new Kosovo government, but only under certain conditions.

The most important condition is the formation of the community of Serb municipalities in line with the agreement reached by Belgrade and Pristina on April 19, 2013 in Brussels, as well as improving the safety of the citizens, Djuric said in an interview to Belgrade-based weekly Novi Magazin.

Seeing that the Constitutional Court may suspend the election of Isa Mustafa as Speaker of the Assembly, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) led by Ramush Haradinaj seems to be turning to Thaci’s Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Citing unnamed sources, Indeksonline reports that AAK and PDK officials will meet today in an attempt to find a new formula for the functionalization of the Assembly.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), said today that President Atifete Jahjaga cannot interfere and ask the Constitutional Court to rule on the post of Assembly Speaker. “This situation is different from the candidate for Prime Minister and she cannot do this now. 40 MPs can now send this case to the Constitutional Court,” said Haradinaj, who is the opposition’s candidate for the post of prime minister. Haradinaj called on all political parties to show a political and democratic culture at tomorrow’s constitutive session of the Assembly.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), told reporters in Pristina that an agreement between the opposition coalition and the Vetevendosje Movement has not been reached yet. Haradinaj said this after the opposition bloc met with representatives of non-Serb minorities. Haradinaj, the opposition’s candidate for the post of prime minister, said Vetevendosje representatives on Monday presented an additional annex to the draft agreement that sent the whole process to the beginning.

No agreement was reached in today’s meeting between leaders of the Vetevendosje Movement, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA). Vetevendosje leader Albin Kurti said there have been setbacks from earlier agreements. “There is discordance from earlier positions of the Vetevendosje Movement and the LDK-AAK-NISMA coalition. These are mainly related to dialogue with Serbia, the process of privatization and other issues,” Kurti told reporters after the meeting.

Leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK,) Ramush Haradinaj, met today at AAK premises with the former U.S. Governor and Director of the Board of National Democratic Institute (NDI,) Howards Dean. They discussed the current developments in Kosovo and further cooperation of AAK with NDI, economic development, rule of law and European perspective of Kosovo.

Sources told Gazeta Express that Andreas Schockenhoff, a close associate of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, told LDK and AAK leaders, Isa Mustafa and Ramush Haradinaj, in a meeting in Pristina today that Kosovo needs to continue dialogue with Serbia and implement agreements reached in Brussels. The same sources said that Schockenhoff acknowledged the possibility of the opposition forming the new government. The two opposition leaders asked for Germany’s support to convince minority communities to join their coalition.

Leader of Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK) and opposition’s candidate for prime minister, Ramush Haradinaj, said in an interview for Klan Kosova that he regrets the opposition coalition was not reached before elections. “I tried but there simply wasn’t the necessary readiness”, he said.

“We had before us the option of either having Thaci fully or partially; either admitting defeat of providing a change for Kosovo”, said Haradinaj adding that the opposition decided to say no to a third mandate to Thaci government and therefore formed a majority in the Assembly.

The paper reports on page two that Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Albin Kurti, leader of the Vetevendosje Movement, and Fatmir Limaj, leader of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), met on Thursday at AAK headquarters to discuss dialogue with Belgrade. No agreement was reached.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), met today with German Ambassador to Kosovo, Peter Blomeyer. The AAK issued a press release after the meeting saying that Haradinaj and Blomeyer discussed the 8 June national elections and the agreement between the AAK, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) for a coalition government.
