All of a sudden, the language of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) has softened. The party’s professor and ‘spin doctor’, Hajredin Kuci, spoke of a compromise at yesterday’s press conference. At the same time, another PDK official, Xhavit Haliti, has also mentioned the word ‘compromise’ in his recent media appearance. What does this compromise actually entail?

Ironically, the PDK is saying it has decided to become ‘generous’ and accept to co-govern, preferably with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) but other parties will do, too. The main thing is that PDK stays in the game. The problem is however that PDK cannot benefit from the decision of the Constitutional Court or its threats of the type: either with us or elections. Elections are not an option as they are not permitted by the Constitution of Kosovo and the decision of the Constitutional Court. Furthermore, the international community will not allow other elections because it recognizes that in a parliamentary democracy those who have the majority in the parliament form the institutions.
