Rexhaj: LVV will not support Shala and Çitaku for deputy speaker posts

Arbër Rexhaj, an MP from the Vetëvendosje Movement, has said that the refusal to vote for the deputy speakers of Parliament is being used as a political tool.

Speaking on the Debat Plus program, he said that Kujtim Shala of the LDK and Vlora Çitaku of the PDK cannot count on LVV’s votes for the deputy speaker posts.

Rexhaj said that withholding votes from them is a political tool and that Shala does not have LVV’s support. He mentioned an agreement that had been reached with great difficulty, saying that he had been pleased and felt a sense of euphoria when he saw it, as he considered it a positive development and a source of hope for Kosovo. However, according to him, Avdullah Hoti and Kujtim Shala, whom he said he knows and respects, are conducting their internal contest within the LDK by using the current political context, which he does not consider fair. Rexhaj added that LVV also has no vote for Vlora Çitaku.

Following Albulena Haxhiu’s election as speaker with 62 votes, the Assembly of Kosovo failed to complete its constitutive process. The procedure was blocked at the stage of selecting the five deputy speakers, while the continuation of the session was postponed until today.
