Kurti Again Sends Messages to Opposition Leaders

Kosovo’s acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, wrote again last night to the leaders of the opposition parties, requesting a meeting to reach a political agreement that would avert new elections.

RTK sources within the government said that Kurti contacted the opposition leaders by phone yesterday and invited them to a joint meeting to discuss the country’s current political situation.

According to the same sources, the meeting is intended to explore the possibility of reaching a political agreement that could overcome the institutional deadlock and avoid a new electoral process.

Kurti has previously approached the leaders of the opposition parties with a request for a meeting and a political agreement.

It is not yet known whether the opposition leaders will accept the invitation or whether the meeting will take place.

Meanwhile, political tensions also emerged in the Assembly today. The session was marked by verbal clashes between opposition and LVV lawmakers over their opposing positions on how to resolve the institutional crisis.

The opposition parties are demanding that the constitutive session be held and that the process of constituting the Assembly be completed, while debates over the next institutional steps have been accompanied by clashes among lawmakers.

The deadlock over the constitution of the Assembly and the establishment of new institutions has continued for weeks, increasing political pressure to find a solution.
