Experts call for agreement to avoid institutional crisis

As the constitutional deadlines for establishing new institutions have started to run out, the political landscape is entering a race against time, with all eyes on potential meetings between political formations.

Without a concrete date for new rounds of talks, attention has shifted to informal negotiations, where parties, according to analyses, are exploring the ground for an agreement to spare the country another institutional blockade with deep consequences.

The lack of a public agenda does not necessarily indicate a lack of engagement, experts on the developments emphasize.

On the contrary, there are indications that political entities are moving towards compromises. Given the colossal damage the state could suffer, analysts underline that neither time nor justifications allow parties to fail in finding a common language.

“Now neither deadlines nor reasons should constitute an obstacle for any political entity to justify that an agreement is impossible or that two parties cannot agree on a consensual president or a compromise. This is the last moment they must understand, because the country is facing the risk of bankruptcy,” declared Mazllum Baraliu, constitutional and political expert.

Meanwhile, Melos Kolshi from the Kosovo Democratic Institute told RTK that political forces should not prioritize their narrow party interests over the major needs of the state.

On July 10, acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti held separate meetings with PDK leader Bedri Hamza and LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku. In conclusion, Hamza confirmed his opposition stance, while Kurti and Abdixhiku expressed openness to continue dialogue towards an agreement on the next institutions.
