Kosovo’s Prime Minister and leader of Vetëvendosje, Albin Kurti, is expected to intensify efforts in the coming days to secure the election of a new president, according to Arbërie Nagavci, head of LVV’s parliamentary group.
Speaking after a meeting of the Assembly Presidency, Nagavci said the ruling party would do everything possible to avoid early elections.
“Kurti continues his maximum engagement as leader of LVV. In the coming days, efforts will intensify to find a solution and ensure the president is elected within the deadline set by the Constitutional Court of Kosovo. New elections would not produce a different outcome,” she stated.
Meanwhile, the opposition has called for greater responsibility from the government. Vlora Çitaku of the Democratic Party of Kosovo criticized Kurti for what she described as a lack of seriousness, noting that her party has yet to receive any formal invitation for talks on the presidential election.
“We are ready to play a constructive role in providing the country with functioning institutions. However, the main responsibility lies with the parliamentary majority. LVV and its leader must treat this issue with the seriousness it requires,” Çitaku said, adding that public statements should now be formalized into official communication.
From the Democratic League of Kosovo, parliamentary group leader Jehona Lushaku stressed the urgency of the situation, warning that failure to reach an agreement could lead to new elections.
“It is crucial to understand that the Constitutional Court has set clear deadlines. Intensive discussions are needed to resolve this situation and elect a president. Without the political will of the majority, no solution is possible,” she said.
Lushaku also dismissed reports that LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku had demanded the presidency during recent talks with Kurti, calling such claims “disinformation.”
Acting President Albulena Haxhiu urged all political parties to set aside differences and work together to reach a solution. She warned that failure to elect a president within the constitutional deadline could force her to call early elections.
“I hope we will not reach a situation where I must announce election dates. What matters most is that political parties demonstrate the will to find a solution,” Haxhiu said.
