“There is a very clear tendency to force us into entering negotiations with Thaci and the Democratic Party of Kosovo. There is a tendency to keep one part of the power at any cost,” Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), says in an interview for Radio Free Europe. Haradinaj also argues that the opposition coalition (LDK-AAK-NISMA) will not make any compromise with the PDK, “despite the fact that the decision of the Constitutional Court tries to force political parties to talk with the PDK”.
