The deputy leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Time Kadrijaj, has called on Vetëvendosje Movement leader Albin Kurti to engage in political dialogue with parliamentary parties to establish new institutions.

On the day the results of the June 7 elections were certified, Kadrijaj told KosovaPress that there is no longer any reason for delays and that responsibility now falls on Vetëvendosje, as the election winner, to secure the necessary political support regarding the issue of the president.

The newly elected AAK MP said that so far she has not seen any concrete moves from Kurti toward reaching an agreement with other political parties, adding that talks should have started even before the certification of results, as the composition of the Assembly was already known.

“It is good that the results were certified, meaning that all complaints submitted by certain individuals regarding the electoral process were reviewed. Now there is no room for further delays; the constitutive session of the Assembly must be called and we must proceed with forming the Assembly. However, we have not seen any moves from the Vetëvendosje Movement and Albin Kurti. Recently, we have seen him focused on symposiums and visits to Greece, which are not unusual, but we have not seen any engagement, at least so far, showing willingness to form the government. You know that the election of the president is also problematic, as it requires 80 MPs to be present in the Assembly hall,” she said.

According to Kadrijaj, Vetëvendosje must work toward building a broader political consensus, given that the procedures related to the election of the president require the presence of 80 MPs.

Kadrijaj reiterated that AAK does not intend to be part of a government led by Albin Kurti, but said the party is ready to contribute to the election of the president if its demands are met.

One of AAK’s demands is the acceptance of American gas, a project toward which the Kurti government has so far expressed reservations.

She said that AAK is open to discussions with Kurti regarding the issue of the president and the demands it has presented.

Kadrijaj warned that, in the absence of political dialogue and an agreement between parties, there is a risk that the country could once again face institutional blockades and new elections.

The Central Election Commission (CEC) certified the results of the June 7 elections on Wednesday. Vetëvendosje emerged as the first party with 47.13 percent of the vote, securing 53 seats in the Assembly. The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) ranked second with 19.44 percent and 22 MPs. The Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) won 18 seats with 16.69 percent, while AAK secured seven seats with 6.74 percent. Non-majority communities obtained 20 seats.

The certification of the results paves the way for the formation of new institutions, with the Assembly having 30 days to convene for its constitutive session.
