Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), writes on his Facebook account today: “Dear citizens, five months have passed since the agreement between the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative (NISMA), later joined by the Vetevendosje Movement, and our efforts to respect democratic procedures and as a parliamentarian majority to form the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo and the government.

Lutfi Haziri, deputy leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), toldRadio Dukagjini today that intensive meetings of the coalition bloc this week are signs that a solution for the political deadlock will be found soon. Haziri said he was confident that the Assembly will be formed next week. “There have been tremendous efforts this week and frequent meetings between the coalition partners to find a way to form the new institutions, first the Assembly and then the rest will be easier. I believe next week will be decisive,” Haziri said.

A diplomat from a Quint member state told Lajmi on the condition of anonymity that leaders of main parliamentary parties have brought Kosovo on the verge of a political, economic and financial collapse. He said the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy are analyzing the situation and are concerned with the hypocrisy of leaders who do not hesitate to tell the media that they have brought Kosovo to this situation in order to protect the interests of the people.

Arben Gashi, Deputy of the Democratic League of Kosovo, stated that his party should not aim the position of the Assembly President, and that this post should be left to the Democratic Party of Kosovo. “It would have been good to consider this issue, because the country has entered a blockade and the blockade is dangerous, both economically and in the aspect of security.

Member of Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) presidency, Agim Veliu, said there is no decision regarding breaking off the coalition with Vetevendosje. He said the party is engaged in moving forwards and not breaking alliances reached after elections. The other member of LDK presidency, Kujtim Shala, also denied the report that the coalition with Vetevendosje is on the brink of being terminated. “It is false”, said Shala adding that the party has not scheduled any meeting today to discuss the issue.

Arben Gashi, member of the General Council of the Democratic League of Kosovo and deputy of this party, said that the coalition block should act quickly and that the best solution is redesigning of the coalition.

Gashi wrote in his Facebook page that coalition block and Vetevendosje should rush with their actions.

Some international officials in Kosovo are categorically against early elections. International sources told Gazeta Blic that there are two reasons why they think new elections are not necessary. “We could face the same situation again; the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and other parties of the bloc might not reach a pre-election agreement and the PDK would be the winning party again. This is why new elections might not be productive,” the source said.

Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), writes on his Facebook account today about the coalition bloc and its efforts to form the Assembly and the government.

After the meeting with the chairperson of the Assembly’s constitutive session, Flora Brovina, member of the leadership of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, said that she represented the 62 deputies who signed the request for the session to be held on Thursday and expressed their position regarding this session.

Coalition block and Vetevendosje are determined to continue with the constitutive session of the Assembly tomorrow, no matter if the Democratic Party participates or not. They will even hold a debate and draw conclusions through which they would offer a solution and inform all respective bodies, such as the Presidency and other bodies which recognize parliamentary majority.
