Political analyst Dusan Janjic said that the new Kosovo government would be stable, because the opposition is divided, and that the Serbs in it would have fewer seats than before, and that they should be happy if they had a minister and vice president.

Janjic said in an interview for weekly NIN that Serbs did not understand what had happened during several months of formation of the government institutions in Kosovo and that some in Belgrade and Kosovo miscalculated that they would be decisive partner in political arrangements.

Acting Prime Minister, Hashim Thaci, said today at the government meeting that the new coalition between the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) has pledged to contribute to Kosovo’s development and integration. “We will give the country stable and democratic institutions, with credible people”, said Thaci. He added that the new government will be open to cooperation with the opposition, civil society, media and all countries in the region. Thaci also said that they will implement all international obligations.

The Dutch Ambassador in Kosovo, Robert Bosch has requested from the new government to stay away from the justice system in Kosovo, RTK Live reports. According to the news portal, Bosch said that the number one priority for the next government must be the rule of law and the fight against corruption. Bosch also stressed that no one can deny that the PDK has won the majority of votes and that they should be in the government.

The small nation state has not had a government for six months and corruption and cynicism still rule.

Kosovo has been without a government since the inconclusive general election six months ago; yet the remarkable thing is how little difference this has made. The other remarkable thing is that the foreigners who exercise real influence here – the Americans, but also the EU – have held off from telling local people what to do, though that is starting to change.

The paper claims to have learnt the name of women that will be part of the new government from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). A senior PDK official said that the new cabinet will include Dhurata Sadiku-Hoxha, current advisor to Hashim Thaci, Mrika Tahiri, former director of the Privatisation Agency of Kosovo, Laura Zherka, member of PDK presidency, Mrika Kotorri from Thaci’s cabinet, former Energy Minister, Justina Shiroka Pula, and PDK deputy leader, Margarita Kadriu.

MP of the Serbian List, Slobodan Petrovic welcomed the agreement of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) on the formation of the Kosovo government and announced support in the parliament session which will be held soon. "It is certain that it is necessary to form a government as soon as possible and to constitute the parliament. We welcome the agreement that was mandatory, in order to get out of the political crisis that lasts more than six months," said Petrovic.

Director of the news website, Astrit Gashi, provides in an opinion piece an overview of what he believes will happen over the next two years in Kosovo. He says that all the commotion and discontent over the coalition reached between the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) will have died down in two-three days and people’s attention will then shift to who the new ministers and their deputies will be. After this, the focus will be on the government plan and finding shortcomings in it.

Lumir Abdixhiku remarks in his column today that the five-month political stalemate ended in the most ‘frightful’ and ‘unreasonable’ scenario – that of two main political forces entering a coalition. No one can justify such a ‘union’ between the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) except perhaps parties’ militants, writes Abdixhiku adding that international community also contributed to this union for fear of any possible destabilisation of Kosovo in face of future processes.

Director of the Serbian List, Aleksandar Jablanovic said that participation of the Serbian List in Kosovo Government is not in dispute, as opposed to the participation of other parties who do not have consent of the official Belgrade nor the international factor which is very important.

Jablanovic says that without the will of the international factors that largely finance the political process in Kosovo, there is no luck for the future government, reports Beta.

According to him, Self-Determination remains unacceptable for the Serbian list.

Today is the deadline which internationals in general and Americans in particular have given to political leaders in Kosovo to resolve the five-month long stalemate. Yesterday, leaders of political parties – Thaci on one hand, and Mustafa, Kurti, Haradinaj, and Limaj on the other – got caught off-guard by the sharp statement of the US ambassador Tracey Ann Jacobson during a public debate. Apart from labeling corruption as being widespread in political parties, Jacobson also spoke about the political crisis.
