Glauk Konjufca, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Vetëvendosje’s presidential candidate, has spoken publicly on the ongoing presidential issue.
In his statement, Konjufca made a misstep by saying he would vote for a candidate proposed by opposition parties—including President Vjosa Osmani—even though, as a member of the government cabinet, he is not allowed to participate in the vote.
“Kurti has met twice with the leaders and, naturally, asked for their support. If we don’t have their backing, they need to come forward with their own names. I don’t exclude anyone. There are many people better than me, many better prepared than me. Let them propose someone. Yes, Vjosa Osmani or whoever they want. I myself would vote, but they don’t want to propose. If the opposition doesn’t provide any name, even a neutral one, then that is a clear signal to go to elections. From the opposition’s side, not ours,” Konjufca said to the media.
