Anton Quni, a deputy from the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), has firmly stated that there is no internal willingness within the party to enter into a governing coalition with Vetëvendosje. According to Quni, restoring interparty trust would require significant effort.
“At all levels—starting from my own branch in Prizren, to various forums I have access to, and up to the leadership level where I serve as deputy chairman—I have not noticed any inclination toward governing together with Vetëvendosje. It would take serious work to create the conditions and rebuild interparty trust,” he said.
Skepticism About Vetëvendosje’s Intentions
Quni expressed deep skepticism toward Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s recent openness to partner with LDK, especially after a history of hostile rhetoric.
“When you’ve been branded as an anti-national and anti-state party during an entire mandate, and suddenly become Kurti’s preferred partner due to a lack of numbers—naturally, this raises many questions for LDK,” Quni noted.
He also reflected on the previous coalition experience between the two parties, suggesting it left lasting disappointment.
“We hoped to bring a positive revolution to our state and citizens. We used every chance to preserve that coalition. But the calculations seemed designed to damage LDK, to the point of defactorization,” he explained.
“After experiencing that, and being labeled negatively throughout a full term, we are now—within 24 hours—suddenly seen as the favored partner. It’s legitimate for us to ask: is this an honest necessity or a continued project to weaken the LDK?” Quni concluded.
