Constitution of the Kosovo Assembly, Kurti: Ready for co-government with the
Albin Kurti

The leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, also the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, said that his party is willing to co-govern with Fatmir Limaj's Social Democratic Initiative, to which party he said he has made a concrete offer.

"We held a meeting with Limaj the day before yesterday. LVV and I have expressed our interest and readiness to co-govern with the Social Democratic Initiative and in accordance with this, I have also made a concrete offer for everything to be concluded as soon as possible, so that we can have the constitution of the Assembly and the Government," Kurti said during a press conference at the Kosovo Government.

Kurti said he could not provide details as this offer has not yet been concretized in the agreement, emphasizing that "need to continue talks and political will" in order to create the new institutions.

The leader of LVV, the winning party in the February elections, said he hopes that talks with Limaj's party will be finalized this week.

"This weekend we will have news about the agreement reached or the lack thereof," he said.

On July 21, MPs failed for the 50th time to constitute the Kosovo Assembly, as parties that were in opposition last term are opposing the change in the voting method for the speaker of parliament from open to closed.

Kurti and Limaj met over the weekend in an attempt to find a solution towards unblocking the situation. Before the meeting, exponents of the Social Democratic Initiative declared that they want Limaj to be elected speaker of parliament, in exchange for voting for the new Kosovo Government, led by Kurti's party.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo have described the LVV's nominee for speaker of parliament, Albulena Haxhiu, as a divisive figure. Meanwhile, the Democratic League of Kosovo has said that it will not vote for any candidate nominated by the LVV for speaker of parliament.

The Constitutional Court of Kosovo has obliged MPs to constitute the legislative body by July 26. Speaking about this deadline, Kurti reiterated his position that it is the obligation of all MPs for the Assembly to be constituted and added that he does not know what will happen if this deadline is not respected, since such a thing is not included in the Constitutional Court's judgment.
