She spoke after the graduation ceremony of 100 cadets at the Kosovo Correctional Service Academy. According to Gërvalla, political entities now have the opportunity to demonstrate seriousness and successfully conclude the process for a president acceptable to all.
Gërvalla said that electing a consensus president had been a common demand during the talks held at the beginning of this year, but success was not achieved at that time. She clarified that she had not stated that the refusal was expected, and she had received the information a day earlier, just like everyone else. The acting minister added that she had read it carefully and listened to the reaction several times, aiming to understand the messages between the lines. Describing herself as an optimist by nature, she said she wants to believe that there is a good basis for an agreement. According to her, there is no reason to hinder the state’s development, but there are many reasons to move forward, while democracy means that for four years one side is in power and the other in opposition, reports KosovaPress.
Speaking about the next steps, Gërvalla stated that Vetëvendosje and its coalition partners aim to secure the agreement before taking steps. She said that when actions are taken without a prior agreement, the opposition responds that the steps have already been completed and asks what is then expected of them.
According to Gërvalla, an agreement between political parties and finding a solution for a consensus president are essential. She emphasized that citizens have repeatedly expressed their will, so the parties must reach reconciliation and, together with a consensus president, move forward. Gërvalla said she is very optimistic that a solution will be found, despite the noise and the presence of those who do not want a solution but do not know what they want. She said she is very convinced that success and good development will be achieved, which will enable the continuation of work and the advancement of the reforms they have committed to.
