Kurti: Political pact has been dealt a serious blow, but remains in force

Albin Kurti, Kosovo’s acting prime minister, said the political agreement reached with the Democratic League of Kosovo has suffered a “serious blow,” but stressed that it remains valid. According to him, elections can be avoided if Bekim Sejdiu is elected.

Asked about the possibility of further talks with the LDK leader, Kurti described the agreement as an achievement by both political parties. He said there is still an opportunity to avoid elections and strengthen the institutions.

In a statement to Ekonomia Online, Kurti said that although the political agreement had suffered a serious blow, it had not been invalidated. He described it as a major success for the two political forces, adding that those seeking institutional stability, the avoidance of elections and the strengthening of the state still have an opportunity.

Kurti emphasized that the political agreement had also produced a specific candidate, naming Professor Bekim Sejdiu.

He clarified that the specific name to emerge from the political agreement was precisely that of Professor Bekim Sejdiu.

However, Kurti declined to say whether another candidate for president would be proposed.
