VETËVENDOSJE! publishes Kurti’s speech in Parliament on institutions, the president and the possibility of new elections

The VETËVENDOSJE! Movement has published the full speech delivered by Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti during the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly.

As reported by “Bota sot,” Kurti spoke about efforts to constitute the institutions, contacts with political parties and the need for cooperation to guarantee institutional stability and the continuation of democratic processes.

He said that talks on forming the institutions began immediately after the certification of the results. Kurti thanked Bedri Hamza, chairman of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, for the meeting, as well as Lumir Abdixhiku, leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, for the meetings that were held.

According to him, the discussions were interrupted because of internal developments within the LDK and resumed only this week. The acting prime minister stressed that VETËVENDOSJE! is seeking dialogue with the PDK and AAK as well, despite the clear refusal by these two entities.

Kurti said that the June 7 elections came as a result of the failure to elect a president in April. He called on the parties to move forward together, emphasizing the need for the broadest possible agreement on a unifying president, in accordance with the constitutional order to which the deputies swore an oath today.

He warned that this time, the constitution of the institutions must not once again lead the country toward the dissolution of the Assembly and the holding of further early elections, which he described as unreasonable, unnecessary for citizens and harmful to the economy.
