Rasim Demiri, Deputy of the non-Serb minority communities, Group 6+, claims that representatives of the PDK-LDK coalition have promised to give them Ministry of Local Government.

Demiri stated for Express that this will be finalized today, after the meeting of the working groups of this coalition.

The front page editorial of Kosova Sot newspaper addresses the economic problem that Kosovo is facing. The daily writes that this year, the official data show that the trade deficit will be over two billion euros, which shows Kosovo’s great dependence on imports, and the limited production capacity. Politicians have promised during the election campaign, that, if elected, they would support the local companies with funds. If this will be considered on the government program that is being drafted by coalition partners,  things can move forward.

Sources within the coalition parties, Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) told Radio Kosova that the agreement for the new government is going to be delayed due to the outgoing Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, travelling to New York. Thaci will attend the meeting of the United Nations Security Council, which will present its quarterly report on Kosovo on 4 December, Radio Kosova reports.

Coalition partners, Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), namely the parties’ working groups, are set to meet today and agree on division of ministerial posts. According to Gazeta Blic, it is almost certain and that the agreement will be reached before Wednesday when the PDK leader, Hashim Thaci, is to travel to New York to attend the UN Security Council session.

The leader of the Independent Liberal Party (SLS), Slobodan Petrovic confirmed for Dnevnik that the Serbian list would accept to be part of the new ruling coalition in Kosovo, while he denied that some special conditions would be placed for Hashim Thaci and Isa Mustafa. Petrovic, who has been vice president of Thaci's previous government, explains that the basis for discussion would be topics that are on the table from day one - the issue of return, the formation of the ZSO, privatization, SPC and economic status of the Serbian community.

The latest coalition of Kosovar Albanians – the PDK and the LDK, of Hashim Thaci and Isa Mustafa has not yet started formal negotiations on the composition of the new government of Kosovo with representatives of the Kosovo Serbs, said to Danas, the presidents of the Serbian List and the Progressive Democratic Party (PDS) Aleksandar Jablanovic and Nenad Rasic.

Zeri.info writes that Isa Mustafa, after the agreement to form a coalition with the Democrati Party of Kosovo (PDK), invited Fatmir Limaj [leader of NISMA political party] to join the coalition. However, the website portal writes that Bilall Sherfi, member of NISMA political party, said that Limaj refused such request and that the party has decided to stay in opposition.

When Hashim Thaci, leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), and Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), met with Kosovo’s President, Atifete Jahjaga three days ago, the latter had expected that they had already resolved everything and the Assembly session would be held within 48 hours, writes GazetaBlic. But it did not happen. Presidency sources told Gazeta Blic that Jahjaga was surprised when Mustafa said that they needed time - almost two weeks, in order to compile the program and make the selection of ministers of the two parties.

The transformation of the Kosovo Security Forces into the Army of Kosovo has no other alternative now. The new parliament of Kosovo will vote the formation of Armed Forces immediately after it’s constituted.

This was said by institutional and military leaders on Wednesday in the manifestation held in the “Adem Jashari” barracks in Pristina, on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of the formation of Kosovo’s Security Force.

Armand Shkullaku, editor-in-chief of ABC News Albania and president of the Association of the Professional Journalists of Albania, in a front-page editorial of Gzeta Express, writes that after a desperate attempt to restore Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) as the major political force in the country, Isa Mustafa ended up to where he had driven to [about four years ago] Fatmir Sejdiu, in Hashim Thaci’s lap.
