Vetevendosje officials today denied the statements of the AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj who said opposition parties have decided to boycott the Assembly. Adonis Tahiri, spokesperson for Vetevendosje, told the news site that there is no common stance between the three opposition parties for boycotting the Assembly. "We still don’t have a joint decision as united opposition on this matter,” Tahiri said. But despite different positions with regards to boycotting the Assembly, opposition parties said they will continue opposing the government through protests.

Several media reported today that the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) parliamentary group decided that the party will boycott the Assembly of Kosovo. A copy of the decision published by media states that however the AAK will continue to be part of the united opposition.

The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) has welcomed the proposal of the German Ambassador to Kosovo Angelika Viets for the creation of a mediating commission that would be led by the president of Kosovo or someone acceptable for all sides in an effort to resolve the current political crisis. The AAK would be willing to agree to such a commission if it determines that this could take Kosovo out of the crisis and towards extraordinary elections.

The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) said in a statement that the failure of Kosovo institutions to establish Kosovo Armed Forces (KAF) is a result of the “incapability and negligence” of the government. The AAK considers that unnecessary delays in the establishment of armed forces are “completely unacceptable” and that the issue deserves to be treated as a strategic priority.

The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), led by Ramush Haradinaj, issued a press release today saying that attacks against the property of the people of Kosovo, whoever they may be, members of parliament or ministers, are unacceptable and must be condemned. “We call on law enforcement authorities to do everything in their power and resolve these cases because in the current circumstances there seem to be prejudgments about the perpetrators and this too can be very harmful.

Newspaper Fjala, has learned from its sources within the opposition parties that the united opposition has decided not to send the issue of Hashim Thaci’s election for president at the Constitutional Court. The President’s mandate and pledge are determined by Article 87 of the Constitution. Point 1 stresses that the President of the Republic starts the mandate after the pledge at the Assembly of Kosovo. Fjala newspaper contacted officials of the opposition parties, however they did not want to speak about this issue.

Enver Hoti, member of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) spoke for KTV about the further steps of opposition to object Hashim Thaci’s election for President and to bring down the government. He said that they are preparing to send the issue of election of the president to the Constitutional Court and that they are preparing for the new protest. He added that eventual finding of irregularities on border demarcation with Montenegro will cause additional problems to Thaci.

The three opposition parties, Vetevendosje movement, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), have not decided yet on whether to send the case of Hashim Thaci’s election for president to the Constitutional Court. A senior official from the opposition, who preferred to remain anonymous, said that they are assessing all the documentation.

Senior member of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Muharrem Nitaj, said today that he believes that the Assembly violated the voting procedures in the election of the president. “I believe procedures were violated because one of the candidates voted as well. Also, most probably procedures were violated when the Assembly went on a break without reason after the first round of voting.

Opposition representatives told the news agency today that although early parliamentary elections were not their initial objective, elections are now seen as the only solution to the political crisis. Muharrem Nitaj, spokesman for the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), said the opposition expected the government would reflect on the “two anti-constitutional” agreements, referring to the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro and the agreement on the Association/Community of Serb-majority municipalities.
