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.
Pristina, Belgrade - Political analysts from Belgrade and Pristina, Dusan Janjic and Fatmir Sheholi agree that the report of the Head of a special team to investigate allegations of human organ trafficking Clint Williamson, although did not announce the names of the responsible, is going to speed up the solution of post-election political crisis in Pristina and the formation of new Kosovo government.
Ramush Haradinaj, leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and Fatmir Limaj, leader of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), met on Sunday to discuss their governing plan, several days after they signed the agreement for a post-election coalition together with Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) leader Isa Mustafa. Haradinaj said the meeting went well and that the leaders will continue to meet in the future. He also said that experts would continue to discuss the government plan.
The Head of the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA), Fatmir Limaj, who is already part of the agreement with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) to create the government, said that this arrangement is democratic. He adds that it is the first agreement ever made by Albanian political parties without any international facilitation. “It has been the quickest agreement in the entire history of Albania, and that too without international facilitation,” said Limaj.
