“I am optimistic that we will achieve positive results. We are now waiting for this to be confirmed by the Vetëvendosje Movement, namely by its leader, Prime Minister Albin Kurti, as well as by the leader of LDK, Mr. Lumir Abdixhiku,” Haxhiu said.

She made the comments today during a wreath-laying ceremony at the Memorial to Missing Persons, on the International Day of the Disappeared.

Kosovo’s acting president stressed that the agreement must be finalized as soon as possible so that the institutions can move forward.

“I hope the agreement is finalized as soon as possible, because the responsibilities we have require further progress. These include reforms that must continue and obligations related to the path toward membership in the European Union, the Council of Europe, NATO, as well as other mechanisms. I hope next week will be decisive for the further process,” she said.

Meanwhile, Vetëvendosje Movement leader Albin Kurti met again last night with LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku.

After the meeting, Kurti suggested that the parties had still not reached an agreement on a consensual candidate for president.

Kosovo’s Assembly remains unconstituted, as the speaker has not been elected in either of the two attempts so far, and the process of constituting the 11th Legislature has not been completed. The elections for it were held on June 7.

The constitutive session remains part of the confrontation between the parliamentary parties, while the failure to form the institutions is deepening the political crisis in the country. Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has requested time to secure a political agreement, with the aim of paving the way for the constitution of the Assembly and the establishment of new institutions. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance have continued their political actions, demanding that the constitutive session be held.
