Several news websites report that the Kosovo Assembly Presidency has postponed its meeting due to lack of quorum on decision-making. “Due to the lack of quorum on decision-making, we are postponing the meeting of the Assembly Presidency for another day, because some of our colleagues are not in the country,” Assembly President Kadri Veseli is quoted as saying.

The coalition around SNS will hold a total of 26 rallies in 30 days of the presidential campaign, and one of these meetings is planned to be organized and in Kosovo, unofficially learns daily Danas from sources close to the election headquarters of Aleksandar Vučić.

As a possible date is mentioned 21 March, but point out that the venue of the rally is unknown yet.

Until now used method of determining the results of voting in Kosovo and Metohija for the elections in Serbia was not in accordance with the law, according to the decision of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Serbia (CCRS) in June 2016. The upcoming presidential election will be the first after this decision of the Constitutional Court of Serbia.

In an interview for Bota Sot daily newspaper, LDK deputy leader and Gjilan Mayor, Lutfi Haziri, said delays in ratifying the border demarcation agreement with Montenegro, as a result of the actions of the opposition and certain MPs, are obstructing the political life in Kosovo. “They [the MPs] are obliged to coordinate within their party structures and as representatives of the people to play their role and conclude the process. It is unforgivable for Kosovo not to get visa liberalisation as a result of the actions of certain MPs, including some from the LDK.

The news website reports that the Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) is planning to seek an opinion from the Constitutional Court of Kosovo on President Hashim Thaci’s involvement in the municipal elections in Drenas/Glogovac. NISMA officials however have neither denied nor confirmed the information. Citing unnamed sources, Indeksonline reports that NISMA is planning to hire an international lawyer for the matter. The same sources said NISMA have collected sufficient material which they hope will prove to the court that President Thaci is violating the Constitution.

Initiative for Kosovo (NISMA) leader, Fatmir Limaj, congratulated the citizens of Drenas/Glogovac following Sunday’s early elections where the party’s candidate, Isa Xhemajlaj, came in second and will face the frontrunner from the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) in the second round of voting. Limaj said Drenas/Glogovac has waited for 16 years for this victory. “Isa Xhemajlaj is the most preferred candidate and I am convinced he will lead Drenas,” Limaj said.

Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) MP, Shukri Buja, said in an interview with Tribuna Channel that spring next year is the ideal time for early local and national elections. Buja is adamant that the PDK should break up its coalition with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), “because this coalition was not right since the beginning”. Buja also said he voted against sending the 2017 draft budget to the Assembly, “because it contains many mistakes”.

The inability of the ruling coalition to conclude issues such as the border demarcation with Montenegro – a requirement for visa liberalisation – and delays in meeting certain obligations from dialogue with Serbia and the inability to form the Armed Forces could take Kosovo to early elections next spring. Kosovo Prime Minister, Isa Mustafa, who is also the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, is opposing the idea of early elections.

The German Ambassador to Kosovo, Angelika Viets, said today in Pristina that parliamentary elections in Kosovo should be held according to the timetable in 2018 and that if elections are not held then Kosovo would lag behind in all reforms and areas. Viets made these remarks during the launch of an EU and German-backed project on strengthening policy and legislation development.

Kadri Veseli and Ramush Haradinaj insist the most on the elections, suspected to be among the first against whom will be launched court proceedings in The Hague, writes daily Politika.
