LAA coalition appears to be determined not to vote the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), Kadri Veseli for the President of the Assembly of Kosovo, and neither the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, for the position of the Prime Minister of Kosovo. This was reiterated today by LAA MP, Ilir Deda.

Serbian daily Blic runs an analysis on 5 possible solutions for Kosovo, how to get out of the current political deadlock. The daily also said the second option would be the worst for the Serbs in Kosovo.

PAN coalition’s candidate for prime minister and leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, announced today that he has received the support from the family of late President of Kosovo, Ibrahim Rugova, for forming the new government of Kosovo.

Participation of Serbs, in the new government, requesting to have all the rights as stipulated in the Kosovo Constitution, Albanian elite considers as return of Belgrade to this area, Sputnik writes.

Although Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the coalition PAN and winner of the elections in Kosovo, informed Hashim Thaci a week ago, that he has enough votes to form the government, Thaci still did not entrust him a mandate.

“Coalition PAN and their nominee for Prime Minister, Ramush Haradinaj, are in the phase of discussions with eventual partners, not because of the numbers but for creation of broader based political governance,” said the spokesperson of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Muharrem Nitaj.

Events in the Western Balkans twice cast a long shadow across Europe in the past century — first in 1914 and then in the 1990s. Both times, the forces unleashed by the carnage could not be contained within the existing international order. And in both instances, proffered solutions failed to resolve the underlying tensions that brought about the conflicts in the first place.

President of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, is reported to have met PAN coalition’s candidate for prime minister and leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, in one of Pristina restaurants today. The meeting was also attended by AAK MP Daut Haradinaj and journalist Dardan Gashi. Thaci did not comment on the reason behind the meeting.

The candidate for the Prime Minister from PAN coalition, Ramush Haradinaj invited yesterday for a meeting the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa and the leader of Vetevendosje movement, Visar Ymeri, however both political leaders rejected his invitation.

Member of the leadership of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Muharren Nitaj told Telegrafi that the invitation was completely normal.

President of the Serbian List Slavko Simić said that the Serbian List will participate in all political consultations, regardless of who the new PM designate is going to be. Simić stated this in an interview for Radio Free Europe.

He said that the List is ready to participate in the political consultations with the representatives of Albanian parties, in order to perceive their real positions, when replying the question on whether and under which conditions would Serbian List support the government of Haradinaj.

Leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Isa Mustafa, said he does not plan to attend a meeting with the leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj. Mustafa said the LDK would not enter any type of coalition with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Instead, Mustafa said they will wait for PAN coalition and its candidate for prime minister Haradinaj to try to form the new government.
