Adriatik Kelmendi writes that Kosovo government and opposition had their chance to use each other in order to draw the red line for Belgrade’s destabilizing impact in Kosovo “and to end the Jablanovic episode. However, he continues to be a Minister of Kosovo government considering for his chief the Prime Minister of Serbia, and using his opportunity to fail Kosovo.

In his regular column, Enver Robelli anticipates a difficult year ahead which, he says, will be marked with standstill, impoverishment and desperation of the people of Kosovo. The only cure for this will be emergence of new political alternatives and a comprehensive mobilization of the population against the alliance of crime and evil which Robelli claims is composed of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and its “sub-branch”, the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).

The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) MP, Alma Lama, writes in opinion piece that democratization of a society is a lengthy and difficult process which often requires bold steps. This process, she adds, should be led by politics and it should start with internal democratization of political parties and the best way to achieve this is by involvement of all membership in the decision-making process. It is therefore crucial to apply the principle of “one member, one vote” in the process although this may not be to the liking of senior party officials, says Lama.

Lutfi Haziri, deputy leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo. Sees the visit of Serbia’s Prime Minister in Kosovo together with the other ministers for Orthodox holidays, as a pilgrimage. “Kosovo cannot be endangered by Serbia,” said Haziri, who is also mayor of Gjilan, a municipality where Serbia’s PM Aleksandar Vicic will start his visit in Kosovo, at Pasjan village, in order to attend inauguration of the maternity hospital.

Lutfi Haziri, member of the chairmanship of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and Mayor of Gjilan, is one of the top candidates for the post of LDK leader, according to a high-ranking source within the LDK. The same source said that LDK leader and Kosovo Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, will most probably run again for the post of LDK chief. “But if Mustafa withdraws from the race, Agim Veliu [senior LDK official] has great ambitions for the post,” the source added.

Columnist Donik Sallova writes that agreement between the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) has been generally interpreted as marking the end of the six-month political stalemate and was justified with the need to save Kosovo from its complete collapse. At the same time, while some viewed the PDK-LDK coalition as an “act of betrayal”, Sallova warns that the biggest danger from the new government comes from the infiltration of the Serbian List into Kosovo institutions.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) will lead four parliamentary committees, Kosova Press reports. PDK will lead the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Committee on Health, Social Welfare Committee and the Committee on Administration.

Publicist Beqe Cufaj writes in an opinion piece that while some may find the coalition between the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) unnatural, the fact of the matter is that PDK and LDK are the two largest parties and in the present circumstances, it was the only possibility to put Kosovo back on track.

Isa Mustafa, the Prime Minister of Kosovo tried through a post on his Facebook profile to clarify to the public opinion and voters of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK,) the reason for the coalition with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK.) Mustafa stressed that he was obliged to reach the coalition, being that none of the parties had the majority of votes that would allow them to create the government on their own.

Columnist Enver Robelli writes that yesterday’s Kosovo Assembly session which resulted in election of the government led by Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) leader, Isa Mustafa, was also a funeral ceremony for the party and only two of its MPs, Vjosa Osmani and Doruntine Maloku, tried to save it by voting against the new  government. The rest of LDK MPs voted in favour of a government that unites evil and crime, writes Robelli.
