Qorrolli: The Prime Minister’s Post Is Not Up for Negotiation, but an Agreement with the LDK Can Be Reached on Other Positions

Vigan Qorrolli, a deputy from the Vetëvendosje Movement, said Tuesday’s meeting with the Democratic League of Kosovo could pave the way for a political agreement that would unblock the formation of institutions.

According to him, the LVV expects the LDK, the third-largest parliamentary group with 18 deputies, to enter the talks constructively and with a willingness to compromise.

Qorrolli expressed optimism that tomorrow’s meeting could produce a positive and achievable outcome, leading to an agreement between the two political entities.

He said communication between the two parties was taking place in a calm atmosphere, while the main objective was to establish stable institutions with a full four-year mandate.

“We are operating within the rules of the political game and political consensus. I do not believe there will be any taboo topics. Everything will be discussed. The post of prime minister is uncontested, and Albin Kurti will hold it. Meanwhile, I believe a formula will be found for the other positions במסגרת of a political agreement, under which participation in the government, its composition and then also the position of president will be negotiated,” he said.

Asked about the possibility of the LDK joining the government, the LVV deputy said all issues could be discussed at the negotiating table. The only exception, he said, was the post of prime minister, which was not up for discussion and would be held by Albin Kurti.

Qorrolli said the LVV did not support a second term for the current president, Vjosa Osmani, and preferred a candidate who would have consensus support and be closer to the shared values of the two parties.

“We have made our position on President Osmani clear. The LVV does not prefer her to serve as president again. We want a consensus candidate who could be closer to the values shared by the two political parties. At the moment, there is no agreement on her candidacy, not even within the parliamentary group,” he said.

He added that, based on the information he had, there was no unanimous agreement within the LVV Parliamentary Group on Osmani’s renomination for the presidency.

“I have made it clear several times that I will not be the ‘black cat,’ but as far as I know, there is no agreement within the parliamentary group on her candidacy. Many deputies have said they do not want Osmani as president,” Qorrolli stressed.

The deputy reiterated that the LVV remained convinced that the LDK should show the courage to negotiate on political terms that would secure stable institutions for Kosovo for four years.
