“Let us first wait for the certification of the results to take place, and then after the certification of the results there will naturally be meetings with political parties, and we hope to find a consensus so that the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo can elect the president with a five-year mandate and the work and responsibilities we have toward the citizens can continue,” she declared.

Haxhiu stressed that the Assembly must first be constituted and the Government elected.

“Let us constitute the Assembly, let us elect the Government and immediately, therefore, after the constitution of the Assembly, the new Speaker of the Assembly, whoever he or she may be, will have the constitutional right to mandate the candidate for the country’s prime minister.

Asked whether she herself would be a candidate for president, she gave a firm response.

“No, I will not be a candidate for president,” Haxhiu said briefly.

Meanwhile, regarding media reports that Kosovo has not been invited to the NATO Summit, she said that information is still being gathered on the issue.
