The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) has declined an invitation from Vetëvendosje (LVV) leader and Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti to participate in political consultations aimed at forming Kosovo’s new institutions.
In a letter addressed to Kurti, AAK leader Ardian Gjini said the party had already made its position on the institutional formation process clear and saw no reason to attend another meeting.
Gjini reiterated that AAK has no interest in joining Kosovo’s next government under any arrangement.
“At the same time, we have offered our support for the establishment of the country’s institutions and for avoiding new elections, particularly with the election of the President of Kosovo in mind,” the letter states.
The AAK leader also said the party had previously presented six key policy priorities that it considers to be of vital national importance but had received neither a direct nor an indirect response from Vetëvendosje.
According to the letter, the party’s priorities include:
- Immediate approval of the U.S.-backed natural gas project as a strategic national priority.
- Launching procedures for the construction of a new coal-fired power plant to strengthen Kosovo’s energy security.
- Raising the VAT registration threshold for small businesses from €30,000 to €100,000.
- Exempting cultivated agricultural land from property tax to encourage domestic food production.
- Fully financing delayed road and other capital infrastructure projects.
- Establishing an emergency capital investment fund of between €800 million and €1 billion for Prishtina.
AAK said it remains willing to support the establishment of Kosovo’s institutions and help prevent another election but indicated that meaningful political dialogue requires substantive responses to its proposals.
The exchange comes as political parties continue negotiations over the formation of Kosovo’s new institutions following the parliamentary elections, with no agreement yet reached on establishing a new governing majority.
