According to him, at this stage, the LDK is not dealing with the distribution of government posts. Gashi stressed that the main focus should be on the program, ideas and how Kosovo will be governed.
He said there were no red lines regarding cooperation with other political parties, but that every step would be determined by the content of the governing program.
“We were called to be briefed on what they discussed yesterday. During the last two elections, I also said that there are no red lines for any other political party. However, we need to examine the program, the ideas, Kosovo’s future, how the country will be governed and Kosovo’s relationship with its international partners. These are the main issues. It does not matter which individual will hold a position or who gets what. What matters is determining whether we can draft a program for governing together and, on that basis, select the people who can take it forward,” Gashi said.
Asked whether he would accept a post in a government led by VV, Gashi said the time had not yet come to discuss positions.
In response to a KosovaPress question about a statement by his fellow party member Hykmete Bajrami that the LDK was seeking the presidency, he said: “I send my regards to Mrs. Bajrami and wish her success.”
Regarding a possible LDK candidate for president, Gashi said: “There are plenty.”
The MP-elect also said that, as of the moment he entered the meeting, he had not received any official invitation to the Assembly’s constitutive session, which is scheduled for Thursday at 10:00.
“There is still no invitation. I believe the session is tomorrow, but we have not received any official notification from the Assembly. Perhaps there is another plan for distributing the invitations, but I do not know. There is no official invitation,” he said.
