Contraband of MPs, according to Kosovo analysts, is one of the only alternatives left to the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) to be able to form the government. However, this seems to be very difficult due to the opposition’s unification to prevent a third term for a Thaci-led government.

Fisnik Korenica from the Judicial and Political Studies Group said that the fact the opposition is united shows that PDK will have a very hard time in trying to contraband MPs from other parties.

Korenica stressed that if the winning party manages to contraband MPs from other parties, the opposition parties could decide to boycott the first session of the Assembly of Kosovo. “Opposition parties would undertake this step because this way they would make sure their votes would not leak”, said Korenica.

PDK deputy leader, Hajredin Kuci, said he is not involved in possible talks between his party and other MPs. Asked whether there are individuals within other parties that are in talks for forming the future government, Kuci said: “No. I am not part of any such talks”.
