The paper reports on page two that Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Albin Kurti, leader of the Vetevendosje Movement, and Fatmir Limaj, leader of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), met on Thursday at AAK headquarters to discuss dialogue with Belgrade. No agreement was reached.

The Chairman of the National Council of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), Jakup Krasniqi, has responded to Hashim Thaci’s interview, in which he said he would be the next Prime Minister of Kosovo. Krasniqi, through a telephone conversation with Zeri, said that Thaci does not have necessary numbers to form a government, and that no one wants to govern with him.

Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), writes on his Facebook account that the agreement with the other two opposition parties, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (Nisma), will set a timeline and framework for dialogue with Serbia. “We will follow policies of cooperation and increased partnership in harmony with our orientations and objectives that we presented to our electorate and the people.

The heads of the opposition coalition, Isa Mustafa from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Ramush Haradinaj from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and Fatmir Limaj from the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), have held their regular meeting. After the meeting, Isa Mustafa rejected the possibility of new early elections, adding that the opposition coalition is respecting the laws and constitution. He said he is also having meetings with Vetevendosje.

Isa Mustafa, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), said today that his decision to withdraw from the intention of becoming Prime Minister of Kosovo was a result of the agreement with the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (Nisma). “I was nominated by the LDK as prime minister of the country. I would not have given up from the responsibility of becoming prime minister if the LDK would have won the elections. Every agreement requires compromise.

British Ambassador to Kosovo, Ian Cliff, said today that parliamentary elections were free and fair. Asked about the LDK-AAK-Nisma coalition, Cliff was quoted as saying, “Kosovar political parties need to talk and agree; this is not our matter because we do not interfere in the process”.

The British Ambassador made these remarks after meeting Gjilan mayor Lutfi Haziri, with whom he discussed economic development in Gjilan, the development of the infrastructure, international donations and the integration of all communities.

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 Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) issued a reaction today saying that after the signing of the agreement between the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and NISMA, the Central Election Commission stopped counting votes at 99.83 percent of votes. “After the announcement of the agreement, the CEC did not announce any information about results from the last four ballot boxes, which make up 0.17 percent of votes!

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.

Jakup Krasniqi, chairman of the national council of the Initiative for Kosovo (Nisma), is against a coalition with the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Krasniqi told Politiko.net in an interview that he does not expect Nisma to enter a coalition with the PDK, but that he will wait for his party to make the final decision. “I don’t believe Nisma will consider a coalition with the PDK. We won’t enter that bargaining. I am saying no, but then again our party mechanisms will have to decide on the matter.
