Lutfi Haziri, Deputy Leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), has criticized both the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and Vetëvendosje Movement (VV) for their handling of the ongoing political crisis, which has persisted since the February 9 elections.
Haziri emphasized that PDK should have acted immediately after the elections with optional demands, rather than making belated statements on June 9 and 10. He stated that LDK’s efforts to cooperate with PDK were constructive, in contrast to what he described as a “very formal cooperation” with VV.
“What Mr. Hamza and PDK should have done since February 9 was to define the optional demand and have an optional action on this matter on February 10 in the morning, not to communicate on June 10 or June 9,” Haziri declared on RTV Dukagjini’s Debat Plus. “We have tried, there have been political meetings, political communication, there have been rare small meetings, communication has not been lacking. Everything is within the framework of a good political cooperation that has been missing with the first party.”
Haziri also stated that the LDK correctly interpreted the political message from the VV leader regarding the formation of institutions with the LDK.
“De facto, in terms of political communication, there hasn’t been any. The communication of the first party with LDK is communication through letters. There’s nothing wrong with that, but in cases where parties work to solve a problem, communication through letters shows the level and format of cooperation. This cooperation is very formal,” Haziri explained. “Letters express political desire, political will, often with jabs, even though LDK has rightly interpreted it as the political will of the VV leader to build institutions with LDK.”
Haziri reiterated the LDK’s clear stance: “Our option is clear: the formation of a joint government. In this formula, no one wins or loses; parliamentary democracy wins.“
Finally, he touched upon the role of the Serbian List, noting that despite being certified as MPs, they have been excluded from the new formula for the Assembly’s composition and are not participating in its functioning.
