Artan Abrashi, an LVV MP, has said that Vlora Çitaku of the PDK could also take charge of the Assembly.

In a Facebook post, he drew attention once again to the proposal Albin Kurti had presented to Bedri Hamza.

According to Abrashi, Vlora Çitaku could be elected Speaker of the Assembly if Bedri Hamza accepts Albin Kurti’s offer. He wrote that the PDK would secure the post of Assembly Speaker only on the condition that it did not obstruct the election of the new president.

In his latest letter to Hamza, Kurti, among other things, reiterated the offer following the refusal to meet.

Kurti said that, in exchange for remaining in the chamber and participating in the vote for the new President of the Republic, they were prepared to swap the post of Deputy Speaker of the Assembly belonging to the PDK with the position of Speaker of the Assembly held by LVV. According to him, this would constitute a contribution by Hamza, while the PDK would gain control of one of the three highest state political offices in the Republic of Kosovo.

LVV leader Albin Kurti has once again requested additional time for political negotiations, without proposing a candidate for speaker of the Assembly.

Kurti said that, as the representative of the winning political entity, he had continued meetings and communication with the other parties, but that a political agreement had still not been reached.

“Therefore, in order to avoid elections, I ask you for additional time,” he said.

Following the request, tensions arose in the Assembly, and the session was suspended.

Albin Kurti, the acting prime minister, said that all institutional positions carry weight and value, even though their responsibilities are not the same.

Speaking at a press conference after the suspension of the constitutive session of the Assembly of Kosovo, Kurti responded to the LDK, which had rejected the position of Assembly speaker. He recalled that the position of speaker was considered very important last year.

Kurti said that in 2025, the election of the Assembly speaker had dragged on for months. According to him, Albulena Haxhiu secured 57 votes, but that number was not enough for her election. He stressed that the importance of institutional posts should not be determined by the year or season, but by what is stipulated in the Constitution and the law.

“Every position, in my view, is valuable and important, although the responsibilities differ. In 2025, it took months to elect the Assembly speaker, and you will recall that Albulena Haxhiu received 57 votes, which were not enough. So, last year, the Assembly speaker was of great importance. I do not believe that the weight of institutional positions changes according to the year or season more than it does according to the provisions of the Constitution and the law,” Kurti said.

He added that the Vetëvendosje Movement had made a major concession in the spring of this year when it withdrew the presidential candidacies of Glauk Konjufca and Fatmire Kollçaku. Meanwhile, according to Kurti, the LDK had asked for all issues to be included in the discussions.

The acting prime minister insisted that political talks on the presidency should be given a chance so that the country can avoid new elections. According to him, the president should be a consensus figure with a well-known character, values, and contributions to society.

“In the spring of this year, VV made a major concession by withdrawing Glauk Konjufca and Fatmire Kollçaku from the presidential race. We made this concession, while the LDK asked us to discuss everything. For this reason, if we want to avoid new elections, we must allow room for discussions and for reaching a political agreement on the president. This must be a consensus figure with a well-known character, values, and contributions to society, their respective profession, and our beloved Kosovo,” Kurti said.
