Kurti to meet Abdixhiku at 18:00, possibility of political agreement in focus

Albin Kurti, the acting prime minister, and Lumir Abdixhiku, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, will meet today at the premises of the Kosovo Assembly, starting at 18:00.

The meeting, along with its time and location, was confirmed by LDK spokesperson Besian Mustafa, who announced that Abdixhiku would attend.

The conversation between the two leaders comes three days before the constitutive session of the Assembly, at a decisive period for establishing the new institutions. The discussions are expected to focus on opportunities for political cooperation and overcoming the institutional deadlock.

On Monday, Kurti sent invitations to three political entities for a meeting, with the aim of discussing the constitution of the Assembly and the formation of the new institutions.

The invitation was not accepted by the Democratic Party of Kosovo, which reiterated its position that it would remain in opposition. Meanwhile, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo has brought its six-point offer back into focus, one element of which is the issue of electing the president.

Interest in the Kurti-Abdixhiku meeting is high, as a possible rapprochement between the two parties could have a direct impact on the political process and the formation of the institutions. It remains unknown, however, whether the discussion will produce a concrete agreement or end without any result.

On July 10, Kurti also met separately with the leaders of the PDK and LDK, but those talks did not result in an agreement. Today’s meeting with Abdixhiku represents another attempt to bring the positions closer ahead of the Assembly session.
