Political parties in Kosovo accuse each other of the failure of the constitutive session of the Assembly, which risks leading the country towards an institutional crisis.
MPs from the opposition parties PDK, LDK and AAK refused to approve the report of the Commission for the Verification of Mandates, blocking the continuation of the session, which should have concluded with the swearing-in of the MPs and the election of the speaker and deputy speakers. PDK and LDK said they do not accept the recently submitted resignation of Kurti and the other members of the elected government MPs.
The leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, described the non-voting of the report of the Commission for the verification of mandates and quorum as an "institutional attack" against Kosovo and democratic elections.
"This is an unprecedented situation in our country and much wider. We govern well, these people are bringing bad news to our country. It is known that they are against the government of the Republic, but they are also against themselves, we learned this today."
It is now up to the president to decide how to proceed. The session also produced some interesting moments, giving numerous signals regarding post-election coalitions or the formation of a new government. The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, and the leader of the Social Democratic Initiative, Fatmir Limaj, did not greet or talk to each other in the hall of the Kosovo Assembly.
The latter entered into a pre-election coalition and received 8 MPs in the February 9 elections. But there are reports of a possible agreement between the leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, and the leader of Nisma, Fatmir Limaj, for the vote on the new government. There have also been reports of a pact between Kurti and Duda Balje, who represents the Bosniak minority, but the MP was seen as very close to the leader of the PDK, Memli Krasniqi. (A2 Televizion)
