Kërçeli: Meeting with parties expected before a new session is called

Ilir Kërçeli, a deputy from the Vetëvendosje Movement, said that a meeting between Albin Kurti and the leaders of the opposition parties is expected to take place.

He said that, before the speaker and deputy speakers of the Assembly, as well as the government, are voted in, an agreement is needed that also includes the post of president.

In a statement to EO, Kërçeli said they were awaiting a meeting with the political entities, with the aim of reaching a comprehensive agreement on all positions in the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo. He stressed that he personally had no information about whether another attempt had been made to organize the next meeting with the leaders of the political parties. Referring to the constitutional deadline, the deputy said that not even six days had yet passed since they were sworn in as deputies and that, before that point, they had not had the opportunity to meet and call the session.

Kërçeli also said that he had no information on whether such a meeting could be held soon.

Regarding the period of approximately 48 hours, he said that the opposition was seeking the election of the speaker and the Assembly Presidium. However, according to him, votes on the government and the president would follow, which is why Vetëvendosje believes that, before the speaker and deputy speakers are elected, a comprehensive agreement on all positions must first be reached.
