The Minister of Industry, Mimoza Kusari-Lila, in a press conference after the government meeting, said she hopes that an agreement will be reached today in the meeting between the country’s Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, and the leader of the LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, regarding the issue of the presidency.
She recalled that so far neither the PDK nor the LDK have proposed any initiative to resolve the presidential issue.
“I hope that there will be an agreement today. I would like to remind you that throughout this entire period it has only been Prime Minister Kurti and the Vetëvendosje Movement who have made proposals for the name of the president. In no case so far, from all meetings, whether with the Democratic League of Kosovo or the Democratic Party of Kosovo, have there been proposals or any initiative to resolve the issue of the president or to provide a concrete name to which we could respond,” she said.Regarding early elections, Kusari said they would not only bring costs but also delays and further disruptions to the essential functions of the state.
“I reiterate that so far there has only been an initiative or invitation from Prime Minister Kurti, while the Democratic Party, as we have all heard through public opinion, is expecting a written offer. If the invitation needs to be in writing, it could also be done, although there still needs to be discussion on the principle of election and concrete names that the Democratic Party of Kosovo could also propose for the presidency of the country. Because we are now in the final week in which the head of the highest institution in the country must be elected, before what we do not want happens—dissolution of the Assembly and the country going to elections,” she said.
