Security has blocked the deputies from the Kosovo Assembly opposition parties and it does not allow them to climb to the alternative hall of the Assembly.

Kosovo Assembly President, Kadri Veseli, informed after the meeting of Assembly Chairmanship that the meeting would resume in thirty minutes, however, leaders and deputies of the Vetevendosje Movement, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), were not allowed to enter the Assembly hall.

Ulrike Lunacek, Vice-President of the European Parliament, and Rapporteur for Kosovo, told Deutche Welle that problems in Kosovo cannot be resolved by violence and that opposition should wait for the decision of the Constitutional Court.

The women presidencies of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Vetevendosje Movement and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), will hold a protest march in Pristina today at 14:00 hrs demanding the release of AAK MP Donika Kadaj-Bujupi who was arrested on Wednesday in relation to the recent events in the Kosovo Assembly. The organizers said the march would be peaceful and with the motto: “A state that arrests the MPs of the people is a dictatorial state”.

The leaders of the three opposition parties, the Vetevendosje Movement, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), told reporters in Pristina today that there will be no protest until November 28. Referring to the actions of the government and police on Wednesday, AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj said: “they carried out political actions and arrested people in their homes in the most brutal way possible. We will continue with our opposition. They should stop before it’s too late”.

The Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) through a press release today demanded the immediate release of the opposition MP Donika Kadaj-Bujupi. “The arrest of the opposition MP, Donika Kadaj-Bujupi, and searching the houses of two other  opposition MPs - Albin Kurti and Albulena Haxhiu- by the Kosovo police, show clearly that the ruling-coalition is using different means to tense the situation in Kosovo,” read the press release.

Today’s opinion piece in Gazeta Blic, comes as a rebuttal of the Head of the National Council of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), Jakup Krasniqi to the statement of the President of the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Wolfgang Petritsch. The latter reportedly told Tanjug news agency that the way members of the Serb community feel will be a benchmark of Kosovo's progress.

The President of the Assembly of Kosovo, Kadri Veseli, has addressed opposition deputies of the Assembly of Kosovo through a public letter:

“Honorable deputies of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo from  Vetevendosje Movement, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and the Initiative for Kosovo,

Adriatik Kelmendi considers that the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), should immediately start working on regaining trust, after failing to vote ratification of the Stabilization Association Agreement. He says that it is regrettable that these two parties and Vetevendosje Movement ruined the 25 year old Albanian consensus on this matter. “Was the SAA with Kosovo the best? No! Could it be negotiated better? Perhaps! Should it be approved? Absolutely, definitively YES,” writes Kelmendi.

Klan Kosova has published parts of the interview with Kosovo’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hashim Thaci, which will be aired tonight at 21:00 hours. Speaking about the former leader of Vetevendosje movement, Albin Kurti, Thaci said that it is well known that he has always had an anti-Kosovar and anti-international agenda. According to Thaci, Ramush Haradinaj and Fatmir Limaj are acting as “Albin Kurit’s close protection.”

Daniel Serwer, former U.S. diplomat and expert for Balkan issues, analyzed in an interview for Gazeta Express, the recent developments in Kosovo and the blockade of the Parliament by opposition parties. He stressed that with its behavior, opposition is risking to face harsh state measures and lose support in polls. Serwer said that without winning the elections, the opposition cannot make decisions for Kosovo. He however adds that if opposition had the power, they would not request breach of Brussels agreements.
