Kosovo will make another attempt to constitute the Assembly today, but the session begins with another division among political forces. The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) has decided to boycott the September 9 session that starts at 11:00, while LDK and PDK have confirmed that their MPs will participate.

After the party's Presidency meeting, AAK chairman Ardian Gjini said that the decision was made by the overwhelming majority of party MPs and leaders.

"I want to tell you that today the Alliance has confirmed the will of the overwhelming majority of MPs, of the members of the presidency, not to participate tomorrow and not to legitimize the continuous and brutal violation of the Constitution of Kosovo by the party that won the elections," declared Gjini.

According to him, the way the sessions for the constitution of the Assembly were called constitutes a violation of the Constitution. He added that the Alliance would have participated if the session had been called within the deadlines that, according to its interpretation, the Constitution provides for, and warned that the opposition will address the Constitutional Court.

Unlike AAK, LDK and PDK have decided to be in the hall. LDK MP Jehona Lushaku said that the parliamentary group will contribute to the constitution of the institutions.

"We decided as a group to participate in the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly and contribute to the constitution of the Assembly, as Kosovo is at an important stage for the establishment of its institutions and its functionality," she said.

The leader of the PDK, Bedri Hamza, declared that Kosovo needs a constituted Assembly.

"We are not responsible for why the Assembly has not been constituted until now. We have been in the Assembly every 48 hours," said Hamza.

The session was called by Speaker Avni Dehari, following successive failures to constitute the Assembly. It comes after LVV and LDK reached an agreement on Bekim Sejdiu's candidacy for president on August 31, although support for him remains uncertain due to opposition within LDK.

Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has confirmed that Vetëvendosje will be in session, but has not announced whether a candidate for Speaker of the Assembly will be proposed immediately or additional time will be requested again.

According to the Constitutional Court's ruling, the Assembly had to be constituted within 30 days of the certification of the results, a deadline that expired on August 7.

The Assembly is considered constituted with the election of the President and the five Vice-Presidents.

The way is then opened for the holding of sessions to elect the new government and the country's new president.

Despite Vetëvendosje announcing that it has secured 61 votes to form a government, the situation remains complicated regarding the election of the president. The agreement reached with the LDK on the candidacy of Bekim Sejdiu has been called into question, after six MPs from this party have publicly come out against it.

Currently, Vetëvendosje has 53 MPs and relies on 10 MPs from non-majority communities. With the LDK's support for the agreement, the number of votes goes to 74, while PDK and the Alliance have not given support to Sejdiu's candidacy.

According to the Constitution, the president is elected with 80 votes in the first two rounds. If this majority is not reached, a third round is held, where 61 votes are sufficient, but only if at least 80 deputies are present in the chamber.

Meanwhile, Albin Kurti has stated that talks with political forces will continue after the session, with the aim of securing the necessary votes to elect the president and avoid going to the polls.
