Mustafa see two ways to solve crisis, both without PDK (Koha)
Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), writes on his Facebook account today about the coalition bloc and its efforts to form the Assembly and the government. “The Democratic League of Kosovo, with 30 MPs from a total of 63 MPs of the coalition consisting of the LDK, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, the Initiative for Kosovo and the Agreement of Principles with the Vetevendosje Movement, stands firmly behind the commitment and the right of the parliamentarian majority to establish the Assembly and the government of the Republic of Kosovo, while respecting the Constitution and laws. The LDK’s joining this coalition will be followed by principles on which he have built the state of Kosovo, primarily with the development of a parliamentary democracy, the inclusion of non-majority communities in government, partnership with the international community, especially with the United States and EU member states, following the policies of the family of center-right parties, EPP, and fostering good neighborly relations with all countries, including Serbia. It is of great importance to include non-majority communities in government, including the Serbian List, as a new momentum, not only as a constitutional obligation but first and foremost as a requirement for development and for democratic and economic stability. This is why we are working on having a transparent dialogue and in implementing agreements deriving from dialogue. The formation of the Assembly and the election of the government should not remain hostage of the insistence of the PDK and its coalition partners, who make up 30% of the electorate votes, to remain in power and to rule Kosovo at all cost. A decision by the Constitutional Court gives them the right to propose a candidate for Assembly President, but the same decision also notes that MPs are free to vote in favor, against or to abstain. It is clear that MPs have decided not to vote for the PDK. There are two ways to solve this situation: the PDK can withdraw from the right given to it by the Constitutional Court because it is failing to secure enough votes in the Assembly, or, the Constitutional Court can provide further explanations on how to implement its decision at a time when the PDK lacks the majority’s support in the Assembly and because it [PDK] is abusing with the decision by failing to resume the constitutive session of the Assembly. Decision-making bodies should explain how these decisions should be implemented in order for them to be effective and to not block the democratic life in the country,” Mustafa writes.
