The paper on the front page reports that the new Kosovo Assembly could have the shortest lifespan imaginable, as it is likely to be dissolved after just one session when it comes to the election of the speaker. Once election results are certified, President Atifete Jahjaga has one month to call the first session of the new Assembly but the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) insists that, as winner of the elections, it should get the post of speaker.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) who will get the post of Prime Minister according to the LDK-AAK-Nisma coalition agreement, met with representatives of Western countries in Pristina on Tuesday and Wednesday. A Western diplomat, who preferred to remain anonymous, said Haradinaj presented his program and the objectives of the coalition. “Mr. Haradinaj told us how the agreement was reached and what its objectives are. We are completely neutral and only one thing is important to us: respecting the Constitution,” the diplomat said.

One of the first steps of the next government consisting of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (Nisma) will be to unblock the law on Pristina in the Assembly, a source close to the signatories of the agreement told the news website. The source said this was one of the reasons why Vetevendosje leader Albin Kurti decided to support a new government led by AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj. The adoption of the law on Pristina has been blocked in the Assembly of Kosovo for seven years now.

The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Isa Mustafa, said in an interview for the paper that even if it is decided that opposition parties cannot form a government and new elections are scheduled, the main opposition parties – the LDK, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Initiative for Kosovo and Vetevendosje – will run together as a bloc against Hashim Thaci’s Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK).

Sources told the paper that the EU High Representative for Foreign Policy and Security, Catherine Ashton, had a telephone conversation yesterday with the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, but no details as to what was discussed were provided.

Citing reliable sources, Gazeta Express reports that LDK leader Isa Mustafa, AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj and Nisma leader Fatmir Limaj have signed a coalition agreement. According to the news agency, the three leaders have agreed for Haradinaj to be the next prime minister of Kosovo. “The LDK, AAK and Nisma have agreed not to enter a coalition agreement with the PDK. Mustafa and Limaj have agreed for Haradinaj to get the post of Prime Minister in a joint government,” a source told the paper.

Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), and Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) have met in Pristina today to discuss the election process and its aftermath.

Asked by Klan Kosova if he will withdraw from his insistence to become prime minister, Haradinaj said now is not the right time to discuss the matter. Mustafa on the other hand said he would not insist on the post in a possible coalition.

The Vetevendosje Movement will hold talks with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and Nisma, to block the formation of the government by the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Vetevendosje leader Albin Kurti on Monday talked about the possibility of a united opposition block that would prevent a PDK-led government.

On the front page, the paper quotes a senior official from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) saying that despite accusations from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) during the election campaign, the heads of the two parties had a “harmonious” meeting in February where they decided to head to early elections in June. The paper recalls one of its previous reports when it claimed that the two parties had also agreed at the time on forming a post-election coalition.

Former mayor of Gjakova/Djakovica and member of Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK), Pal Lekaj, accepted the AAK’s not-so-good outcome in these elections. In a statement for Klan Kosova TV, Lekaj said that despite results, AAK will be a decisive element for the future government, thus implying a possible coalition with Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Lekaj said this is the final train for AAK to enter the government.
