President, internationals do not congratulate new Assembly Speaker (Gazeta Express)
Isa Mustafa, who was elected yesterday as Speaker of the Assembly, has yet to receive congratulations from local and international officials in Pristina. President Atifete Jahjaga was present at the constitutive session of the Assembly on Thursday but left the room before Mustafa was elected Speaker in a procedure that has been contested by the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Western embassies in Pristina, which often issue joint statements after important ceremonies, have yet to congratulate Mustafa on the post. Gazeta Express sent questions to the US Embassy in Pristina about its position on yesterday’s session of the assembly, but received no reply.
