Mistakes the bloc should not make (Koha Ditore)
Lumir Abdixhiku writes in his weekly column for the paper that the post-election coalition bloc between the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), cannot afford to make the mistake of dividing ministerial posts based on the previous government’s model and should reduce the number of ministries. it should immediately introduce a new model of governance and not build on the old one, suggests Abdixhiku.
Another thing that cannot be justified to the bloc is if its splits into two factions. This is however something that is increasingly becoming a possible alternative, says Abdixhiku. Instead of a ‘nationalist’ Albanian party, i.e. Vetevendosje, the bloc is beginning to prefer opting for a coalition with an ‘ultranationalist’ Serb party, the Serbian List. “Regardless of how wrong the conditions of Vetevendosje to the LDK-AAK-NISMA bloc may seem to be, mainly concerning privatisations linked to unsound and inaccurate philosophical beliefs, they definitely remain more fabourable than the conditions of the Serbian List”, he writes.
The bloc has all the opportunities to put Kosovo on the right track, claims Abdixhiku, but it should try to do this united.
