Session with quorum, speaker to be elected through open vote (Koha Ditore) On the front page, the paper reports that the coalition bloc has reaffirmed its unity days ahead of the Assembly’s constitutive session and stressed it will enforce its “right” to elect the new speaker. The bloc’s representative from the Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK), Avni Arifi, said they will fully respect the Constitutional Court’s ruling that the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) has the right to propose a candidate for the speaker but rejected the idea of the election being through secret vote. “It should be known who votes for whom, there is no reason to have secret voting”, said Arifi. He added however that the members of the bloc will take part in the voting process. Secret voting, as the last card (Tribuna) One of the most discussed options at present regarding the constitutive session of the Assembly remains imposing the procedure of secret voting for the Assembly Speaker. Representatives of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) are convinced that this would be the solution for overcoming the current crisis while representatives of the coalition bloc are against any scenario prepared by PDK. “We are convinced that if deputies of the Bloc were allowed to vote according to their will, they would vote for our candidate, not because they like him, but because they do not want to hold new elections,” said a senior official of the PDK.  LDK: We are not for sale (Zeri) On the front page the paper writes that Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) senior officials dismissed claims that five of its MPs are about to reach an agreement with Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) to vote its candidate for assembly speaker.
