Political Deadlock in Kosovo: PDK Again Blocks Entrance to Government Building, Demands Continuation of Constitutive Session of Parliament

Members of the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) continued their protest action in front of the Kosovo government today, August 20, blocking the entrance to express their dissatisfaction over the failure to continue the constitutive session of Parliament.

Today’s action also included deputies from the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK).

For several days, the PDK has been holding protests in front of the government building, demanding that the continuation of the constitutive session be scheduled and that the process of forming new institutions be unblocked.

The PDK has called on the presiding officer of the constitutive session, Avni Dehari, to schedule its continuation. The PDK accuses the Vetëvendosje Movement and acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti of blocking the institutions.

The Alliance has also expressed its opposition to the delay in the process of constituting Parliament, calling for the institutions to return to full functionality as soon as possible.
