Kurti: There is a will and readiness for an agreement with LDK before the

Kosovo's acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has said that there is "willingness and readiness" between his party, the Vetevendosje Movement, and the Democratic League to reach an agreement on the formation of the country's new institutions next week.

LVV and LDK are expected to resume talks that were suspended last month due to an intra-party vote of confidence that the leader of the opposition party, Lumir Abdixhiku, survived this week.

Asked late Saturday when they would resume meetings with Abdixhiku as the constitutive session of the Assembly on August 6 approaches, Kurti said: "We will try to use these days so that we are as prepared as possible when the session for the constitution of the institutions of the 11th legislature begins."

"But we cannot predict the result yet, there will be no lack of efforts. There is interest, will, and readiness, but we will find out everything next week," Kurti told Ekonomia Online.

Meanwhile, on Saturday, LDK deputy leader Lutfi Haziri told Radio Free Europe that during a party assembly on Thursday, an agreement had been reached for the party to cooperate with the ruling party on the formation of new institutions after the June 7 elections.

The LDK has already set several principles as preconditions for a possible agreement with the LVV, including: agreement on all institutions, i.e. the Assembly, the Government, the Presidency, or none; state agenda, sectoral policies, government programs, the country's interest, and the division of responsibilities.

"These three principles unite us as a Parliamentary Group. The [LDK] Assembly has requested that this right be exercised to the end. How this request will be concluded is now a matter of negotiations [with the LVV]," Haziri told REL.
Kurti, whose party won the June 7 elections, needs an agreement with the opposition to ensure that the country will have a new president, and thus end the long political and institutional crisis.

His party received 53 mandates and, given Kurti's cooperation so far with non-Serb minority parties - which enjoy 10 seats - he is then expected to have the necessary votes of at least 61 to constitute the Assembly and form the new Government.

However, the presence of 80 deputies in the 120-seat Assembly is required for the vote for the president of Kosovo to be valid.

With a possible agreement with the LDK, which won 18 seats, at least 81 votes would be reached, enough to vote for the new president, if at least 80 of them remained in the hall.

Therefore, the presidential issue is expected to be at the center of the talks between Kurti and Abdixhiku.

Would an LVV-LDK agreement be enough?

Experts on political developments say that recent developments in the LDK, but also the positioning of political parties in general, do not provide promising and safe signals for the formation of new institutions.

According to them, the close result of the vote for and against the extension of Abdixhiku's mandate as chairman reconfirms that deep cracks exist within the LDK between the two camps.

Analyst Rrahman Paçarizi, a professor of Journalism at the University of Pristina, told Radio Free Europe that Haziri's statement that the LDK will move towards an agreement with the LVV if it respects its declared principles does not clarify the situation.

"It is more in the function of building the narrative that the LDK cannot and should not be considered as blocking the formation of institutions," Paçarizi added.
He sees little chance of finding a formula from the LDK leader, but also from the camp dissatisfied with him within this party, to create a common position of the 18 MPs towards a possible agreement with the LVV.

Analyst Artan Muhaxhiri also said that, despite the reconfirmation of Abdixhiku's mandate at the head of the party, clashes within the LDK show that any agreement with the LVV will not receive the support of all 18 MPs of this party in the Assembly.

"The minimum is six or seven deputies less than the total number of deputies. So Abdixhiku has only one task, to change by 180 degrees the approach towards dissatisfied deputies and very important personalities of the LDK, who oppose his leadership style", emphasized Muhaxhiri.
If the president is not elected within 60 days from the day of the constitution of the Assembly, then the legislative body is dissolved and the country goes to new elections.

If the country goes to the polls again, it would be the fourth parliamentary election since the beginning of 2025. /REL
