Vetevendosje MP Ilir Deda said that Hashim Thaci’s election to the post of Kosovo president has only deepened the current political crisis in Kosovo. He said Thaci’s election will be brought before the Constitutional Court. “Let’s wait and see how this case goes and what political consequences it will produce. Nevertheless, it is clear that the most non-unifying and divisive man in Kosovo politics is at the head of the state,” said Deda.

Final preparations for the next Kosovo Assembly session are underway and, according to sources from the government, the session could take place as early as next Monday. Foreign Minister and candidate for the next president of Kosovo, Hashim Thaci, is expected to meet with the US Secretary of State John Kerry in Tirana on Sunday and the most suitable date for the session is Monday as the following days will be busy with events organised to mark the eighth anniversary of Kosovo’s declaration of independence.

Drafters of the Law for the specialized chambers and the office of the specialized prosecutor have foreseen the possibility that the President, the Prime Minister and the President of the Assembly could be among the eventual suspects.
