Leader of Alliance for Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, after today’s meeting with President Atifete Jahjaga, said that they discussed creation of institutions as soon as possible while respecting the parliamentary majority. Haradinaj said that just like the parties of the Bloc that got certain number of votes in elections and came together to create a majority, so the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) won a certain number of votes but was unable to form a majority.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), told reporters today after the meeting of the coalition bloc that Kosovo should not go to new elections. “It is our good fortune that there is a majority in the Assembly and that this institution will be not held hostage. Mr. Thaci is governing the country with 36 votes. The majority has 63 votes and this situation cannot go on forever. I don’t know who would benefit from elections; the Assembly has a majority. We all need to reflect on the fact that Kosovo is being governed with only 36 votes.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), told reporters after meeting President Atifete Jahjaga today, that the coalition bloc will go to the Assembly session on Thursday with the aim of electing the Assembly Speaker. Haradinaj said a government that has lost the majority in the Assembly should resign. “Cancelling the assembly session or failing to schedule one does not help overcome the current situation. On Thursday we will go to the session with the aim of electing the Assembly Speaker. There will be a debate beforehand.

Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and candidate of the opposition coalition for Prime Minister, said today that MPs need to find a solution to break the political deadlock. He said the coalition of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the AAK and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) does not want new elections. “This is not about new elections, this is about finding a solution in the Assembly,” Haradinaj said.

Leader of Democratic Kosovo Turk Party (KDTP), Mahir Jagcilar, said the 6+ parliamentary groups will vote tomorrow for the candidate of the Kosovo Democratic Party (PDK), Arsim Bajrami.

“We will support PDK’s candidate for Assembly Speaker. Afterwards, we will see how things develop”, said Jagcilar.

Jagcilar also said that the Serb List has requested postponement of tomorrow’s session. “They are expected to make a written request. It will then be decided whether their justification is reasonable”, he added.

“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”.

A reliable source in the LDK-AAK-NISMA coalition told Pristina-based Rrokum TV that foreign diplomats, especially Germans, have made it clear to the coalition that they should not yield to Vetevendosje’s terms, especially the condition to lead talks with Belgrade. The diplomats have also said that blocking privatization and the establishment of the association of Serb-majority municipalities should not even be considered. “It was made clear to us that all we can do with regards to the privatization process is to review suspicious cases.” the source said.

The coalition of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) said today they will establish a broad-based government but without the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK). Coalition leaders met in Pristina today to discuss the upcoming session of the Constitutional Court on 21 August on the election of the Assembly Speaker.
