Kosovo’s acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, wrote again last night to the leaders of the opposition parties, requesting a meeting to reach a political agreement that would avert new elections.

RTK sources within the government said that Kurti contacted the opposition leaders by phone yesterday and invited them to a joint meeting to discuss the country’s current political situation.

According to the same sources, the meeting is intended to explore the possibility of reaching a political agreement that could overcome the institutional deadlock and avoid a new electoral process.

Kurti has previously approached the leaders of the opposition parties with a request for a meeting and a political agreement.

It is not yet known whether the opposition leaders will accept the invitation or whether the meeting will take place.

Meanwhile, political tensions also emerged in the Assembly today. The session was marked by verbal clashes between opposition and LVV lawmakers over their opposing positions on how to resolve the institutional crisis.

The opposition parties are demanding that the constitutive session be held and that the process of constituting the Assembly be completed, while debates over the next institutional steps have been accompanied by clashes among lawmakers.

The deadlock over the constitution of the Assembly and the establishment of new institutions has continued for weeks, increasing political pressure to find a solution.

Albin Kurti, leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, has said he will accept the invitation to attend today’s resumption of the constitutive session.

“The chair of the constitutive session, the oldest MP, Avni Dehari, has called for the session to resume, and I will respond positively,” Kurti said briefly.

The Assembly of Kosovo will resume its constitutive session today, which began on August 6, following a request by chair Avni Dehari.

Proceedings are scheduled to resume at 11:00.

Meanwhile, the parties that were in opposition during the previous term, as well as non-governmental organizations, have said that the 30-day deadline for completing the constitution of the new Assembly expired at midnight.

In a statement to the media, Kurti stressed that the certification of the results is being awaited first, as well as the review of complaints.

He said that the necessary discussions will take place only after this process is completed.

“First we have to wait for the certification of the election results, and the handling of complaints, and then without losing time we will have the necessary communications and discussions,” Kurti said.

Currently, the role of acting president is being held by Albulena Haxhiu, following the end of Vjosa Osmani’s presidential mandate in April.

The final results of the June 7 elections were announced by the Central Election Commission on June 27.

From these elections, Vetëvendosje emerged as the leading force in a pre-election coalition with Guxo and Alternativa, with 47.13% and 53 seats. The Democratic Party of Kosovo won 19.44% and 22 seats, the Democratic League of Kosovo 16.69% and 18 seats, while the Alliance won 6.74% and seven seats.
