Jahjaga wants to facilitate between PDK and the Bloc (Gazeta Blic)
Diplomatic sources told Gazeta Blic that President of Kosovo, Atifete Jahjaga, has already made it clear to the leader of Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Hashim Thaci, and the post-election coalition leaders that she will wait to the end of this week for them to come up with a solution and if they do not, she will decide her future steps. “She cannot do much. They will either go to her together or separately and tell them of the election date. The legal basis for elections has been prepared by her staff and Americans”, said an unnamed official. However, it seems the Bloc’s leaders have realized what Jahjaga plans to do and are therefore hesitating to meet her for fear she may try to force them to negotiate with Thaci in a series of marathon meetings. The model Jahjaga wants to pursue is the one former EU High Representative Catherine Ashton used for meetings between prime ministers of Kosovo and Serbia which basically entails indefinite meetings until a no-winner-no-loser solution is found.
