Avni Dehari, chair of the constitutive session of the Assembly of Kosovo, has called on the political parties to engage in dialogue and reach an agreement, as he believes that continuing the session without prior consensus would further escalate institutional tensions.
Dehari said that the events of the past three days in the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo had confirmed his earlier warnings. He assessed that attempts to continue the session without a political agreement increase the likelihood of clashes, including the risk of a physical confrontation inside the Assembly chamber.

Following the LDK’s new position, he welcomed the invitations issued by the chairman of the VETËVENDOSJE! Movement, Albin Kurti, as well as by acting president Albulena Haxhiu, for the political parties to take part in a consultative meeting.
According to him, overcoming the institutional deadlock requires political responsibility, talks, and an agreement that ensures the stable functioning of Kosovo’s institutions.
In his full statement addressed to citizens, Dehari called on all political entities to sit down together, fulfill their responsibilities, and find a political solution. Such an agreement, he said, should pave the way for the constitution of the Assembly, the formation of the Government, and an agreement on a consensus President.
He warned that constituting the Assembly and forming the Government without a prior agreement on the President would lead to early elections—a scenario that, in his view, should be avoided.
Dehari recalled that the citizens of Kosovo have been called upon three times over the past two years to express their will through the ballot box. He emphasized that the people have already spoken and that it is now up to their political representatives to reach the necessary agreement so that the country can have functional and stable institutions.
