Kurti–Abdixhiku Agreement Fails, Gjinovci Criticizes LDK: If It Goes to Elections Again, It Risks Disappearing

The meeting held on August 4 between acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti and LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku ended without a political agreement.

Following the discussion between the two leaders, analyst Rron Gjinovci reacted by describing the LDK as the party in the weakest negotiating position. According to him, a new electoral process could have serious consequences for the party.

Gjinovci addressed Abdixhiku in a critical tone, suggesting that he secure whatever he can from the negotiations and use the four-year term to rebuild the LDK. He warned that if the country goes to elections once again, the fractured, divided and exhausted party could move toward extinction, even risking failure to cross the electoral threshold.

Kurti, meanwhile, said the meeting had explored possible ways to overcome the deadlock. He stressed that the solution must be based on an agreement that respects the election result and ensures institutional stability.

Abdixhiku said the dialogue could continue even after the constitutive session on August 6. He also clarified that the LDK is not seeking the post of Assembly speaker.
