Besnik Tahiri: VV will not take the Presidency, we will not allow the creation of a party-state

Alliance MP Besnik Tahiri said that the Vetëvendosje Movement would not be allowed to take the position of President of Kosovo without political agreement.

“It will not take the presidency without a consensual position, regardless of who holds what position, because it is a figure that should reflect unity, not the party. We will work to prevent the Republic of Kosovo from becoming a party-state,” Tahiri said.

According to him, a political agreement cannot be reached at a time when Parliament has still not been constituted.

Referring to the blocking of MPs’ entry into Parliament, Tahiri questioned the basis on which a political agreement was being sought.

“How can there be a political agreement when Parliament has not been constituted? On what logic can a political agreement be reached when we have been prevented from entering Parliament and Parliament does not exist as a constituted body—on what basis?” he said.

MPs from the PDK and the Alliance tried to enter the parliamentary chamber again today, but it was closed to them.
