Kosovo’s prime ministerial candidate, Albin Kurti, today presented the composition of his government cabinet and delivered his mandate speech.
In his address, Kurti stated that none of the parliamentary parties he invited agreed to enter a coalition government. He added that had they accepted to cooperate, a new coalition government could have been formed today, and the challenge of electing the president would have been resolved.
“Today, more than six months after the convening of the constitutive session on April 15, we finally have a constituted Assembly and have reached the point of forming the Government. This is an unprecedented delay in the history of the Republic, where five of these six months the deputies were waiting for the Constitutional Court. This delay has affected the functioning of state affairs, delayed international agreements, the EU integration plan, the reform process, and has damaged the credibility of our state before our international partners,” Kurti said.
Meanwhile, today’s session began 1 hour and 8 minutes late due to the delay of mandate-holder Kurti.
