In an interview for the website news, British Ambassador to Kosovo, Ian Cliff, spoke about the idea of Vetevendosje leading dialogue with Belgrade and stressed that the international community, and particularly the British Government, are not overly concerned with who will actually lead the process.  “Our position is that if there is an agreement that includes Vetevendosje, it should also incorporate commitment for implementation of dialogue agreements and its continuation. If they want to make this dialogue more transparent and reports more to the parliament, that’s fine.

Representatives of the coalition consisting of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) and the Vetevendosje Movement are hinting at the possible replacement of Flora Brovina as chairperson of the Kosovo Assembly. Coalition officials argue that Brovina, a member of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), is supporting her party in the Assembly. AAK MP Donika Kadaj-Bujupi said a solution for the blockade will be found.

The coalition of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative of Kosovo (NISMA) and the Vetevendosje Movement issued a joint statement after today’s session of the Kosovo Assembly. “The coalition of the LDK-AAK-NISMA and Vetevendosje Movement, after today’s constitutive session, takes note of the PDK’s failure to elect the Assembly President and to establish the Assembly. Even 100 days after general elections proved to be not enough for the PDK to secure a majority in the Assembly.

Andrea Capussela who worked for the former International Civilian Office in Kosovo observes in an opinion piece for the paper that although he has not too much respect for the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK) or Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), he does believe that Kosovo could use a change and if Vetevendosje joins in, institutions would become cleaner. Capussela’s message therefore to LDK, AAK and NISMA is to remove the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) from power and take it themselves.

Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), said today that the opposition bloc does not intend to dismiss Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga. “The Democratic League of Kosovo and partners of the coalition respect the mandate of the President. Evidence of this is the agreement between the Democratic League of Kosovo, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and the Initiative for Kosovo, and the confirmation of cooperation with the Vetevendosje Movement.

In a statement to the media, Vetevendosje stressed that in an effort to create parallel institutional mechanisms, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) undertook its recent step in preventing creation of new institutions. “Along with the Serb List it postponed for a week the constitutive session of the Republic of Kosovo Assembly”.

The agreement signed between the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), with Vetevendosje Movement, foresees that the dialogue will be led by Albin Kurti’s party.

The point five of the Agreement stresses that the dialogue is a responsibility of the Government led by Ramush Haradinaj, however the process of the dialogue will be led by Vetevendosje.

After the meeting with the leaders and representatives of the Coalition Block, Vetevendosje leader, Albin Kurti, stressed for the media that Vetevendosje Movement will hold a referendum with regards to the establishment of the new government, which will change Kosovo both in political and socio-economic aspects.

As announced earlier, the Coalition Block signed today at 13:00 hours at the Assembly of Kosovo, an agreement for co-governance with Vetevendosje Movement.

The agreement was signed after two months of negotiations between the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), with the Vetevendosje Movement.
