In a post titled “Coalition for Normality,” Mustafa called on the leaders of the PDK and LVV to sit down together at the negotiating table, leaving their previous confrontations behind.
He appealed to the leaders of the two parties not to sit opposite each other as opponents or rivals, but as statesmen who bear the responsibility of leaving their children a better Kosovo.
Mustafa emphasized that Kosovo does not belong to any political party and that past disagreements must not become an obstacle to its future.
The PDK MP clarified that he was not calling for the past to be forgotten, but rather for it not to hold the future hostage. He added that there was no longer time for grudges, revenge, or discussions qualified by “ifs” or “buts.”
Drawing on his own political experience, Mustafa cited the former PDK-LDK governing coalition as an example. According to him, that coalition showed that major political forces can work together even when they have political differences.
Among the achievements of the period when the major parties governed together, he mentioned Kosovo’s declaration of independence, the construction of highways, and investments in schools, hospitals, and bridges.
Based on this experience, Mustafa concluded that grand coalitions are not a luxury but a necessity for the state.
He also raised concerns about political developments, young people leaving Kosovo, and the consequences that, according to him, result from a lack of cooperation and repeated election cycles.
Mustafa said that he had witnessed endless election cycles and cases in which MPs were sworn in for a term, only for the country to return to elections without them leaving any mark or making any contribution.
His appeal to the LVV and PDK is for talks to focus on issues that directly affect citizens’ daily lives.
According to Mustafa, egos and the harsh rhetoric of the past should be set aside, while attention should shift to roads, schools, hospitals, and citizens’ well-being.
At the end of his message, he offered his experience to help the two political parties reach an agreement.
Mustafa stressed that Kosovo could no longer afford to wait, saying that he was ready to devote all his experience to bringing the two sides together and asking the leaders of both parties whether they were also ready.
Meanwhile, the PDK leadership has maintained its position that the party should remain in opposition and has not responded to the LVV leader’s invitation to meet.
The continuation of the constitutive session was halted on Saturday at the request of LVV leader Albin Kurti after the situation in the chamber escalated when Alliance MP Time Kadrijaj threw eggs at Kurti.
