Alliance MP Ramush Haradinaj has criticized the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, accusing him of deliberately delaying the processes for the formation of new institutions. He has proposed former President Hashim Thaçi for a new mandate as President of Kosovo.
Haradinaj has described it as an "honor" for this legislature to give the presidential mandate to Thaçi. The Special Court in The Hague is expected to announce its verdict in the case against Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Jakup Krasniqi and Rexhep Selimi on September 16.
"It is in the honor of this legislature, but also of every legislature, to continue President Thaçi's mandate."
"His mandate was taken away by a legal intervention and with his return it is our honor as a nation, not because of any political proximity, but because of a response from the enemies of Kosovo who never sleep, that we continue his mandate. There are 'x' other options, do not hold Kosovo hostage," Haradinaj declared.
Haradinaj also criticized the Vetëvendosje Movement for not calling the constitutive session of the Parliament. Commenting on the incident where the Alliance MP, Time Kadrijaj, threw eggs at Kurti, Haradinaj said that this action came as a result of not proposing a candidate for Speaker of the Parliament.
"He has installed himself above the Constitution, above the institutions, above every constitutional and legal obligation. Not calling the session, with the excuse that if there is no agreement, violence will occur during the session, is just an alibi."
"The violence happened, the egg throwing at Kurti, not because he called the session, but because he is not running for Speaker of the Parliament, which is his duty," Ramush Haradinaj told the media.
