Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, in today’s press conference, said that he has made a concrete offer to the chairman of NISMA, Fatmir Limaj, to form a coalition government, without revealing the details of the offer.

However, if no agreement is reached between Vetëvendosje and NISMA, Kurti said he does not know what will happen after July 26 — the date set by the Constitutional Court’s ruling for the constitution of the Assembly of Kosovo. In the meantime, he emphasized that the acting government must continue to govern with limited competencies.

During the press conference, in response to journalists' questions, Kurti said he cannot speak about the offer made to NISMA until an agreement is finalized later this week, at which point the details will be shared.

Furthermore, Kurti spoke about the Constitutional Court’s ruling, saying that it is clear that the Court is not the appropriate address for resolving political disagreements between parliamentary groups. Instead, such matters should be addressed at the parties’ negotiation table, where no agreement was reached — which is why it remains uncertain what will happen next.

Finally, the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti said that they are giving the ongoing talks with NISMA a chance in order to constitute the Assembly of Kosovo, expressing his belief that such cooperation is possible.

Kurti called for patience until the weekend, saying that by then they will either announce an agreement or reveal what will happen after the 30-day deadline.

On Saturday, July 19, Vetëvendosje chairman and acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti met with NISMA chairman Fatmir Limaj to discuss a potential political agreement. Although it was said that Limaj would be proposed as Speaker of the Assembly, this did not happen in today’s 50th attempt to constitute the Assembly, which failed once again, as the committee for the secret vote was not approved.

There are only two sessions left before July 26 — the deadline set by the Constitutional Court to form the Assembly of Kosovo, and there is still no political agreement to resolve the ongoing deadlock. /A. Shala/
