The leader of the Vetëvendosje movement, also acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, for the second day in a row has continued consultation meetings with non-Serb parties on the formation of the new government.

Some of the non-majority community parties said they have submitted their requests for possible cooperation with the LVV, writes A2.

On April 3, he met with the leader of the Social Democratic Union (SDU), Duda Balje, the leader of the Egyptian Liberal Party, Veton Berisha, and the leader of the Turkish Democratic Party of Kosovo, Fikrim Damka. Balje said after the meeting that he had submitted requests for his party to support the new executive, but that he had neither given nor received confirmation.

Duda Balje, Veton Berisha from the Egyptian Liberal Party, said that in principle, his party has no "red lines" for any party for possible cooperation. Veton Berisha, meanwhile, from Kurti's office said that during the meeting with Fikrim Damka, who is the acting minister of regional development, the parties expressed the will and readiness for this fruitful cooperation to continue in the next legislature.
