Kosovo is entering the new elections risk, political analysts think
Vetevendosje Movement (VV) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) have entered ‘the deadline zone’ for establishing co-governing agreement following the October 6th elections.
Although there’s about a week left until the constituent session, differences between two parties are visible, especially on the issue of the president. Hence the country is entering the risk for new elections. That’s at least what constitutionalists and political analysts think.
The LDK insists on a “balance” of power between two possible government partners, though, on the other hand, it expresses its willingness for reaching an agreement with VV as soon as possible.
According to Avdullah Hoti, the LDK Presidency member, he and his party colleagues will work until December 26 to reach the agreement with VV.
On the other hand University professor, Mazllum Baraliu says for KosovoPress that the only alternative for two winning parties is to form a government. In addition, he gives details on the timeframe when new elections can possibly be held.
“The only alternative for these two parties is to find a solution these days until December 26, where constituent session for the new legislature will be held. Otherwise, if 60 days from the day when the constituent session of the assembly will be held will prove insufficient for the institutions to become constituted, then we will face new elections,” Baraliu says.
For Jetmir Bakija, from Democracy Plus, new elections are considered harmful, as they cannot provide new alternatives. According to him, even if elections happen, rankings of the parties are expected to be within actual numbers, meaning that country will again face almost the same situation.
Yet, regardless of series of meetings two leaders, Kurti and Mustafa have failed to find a solution and to form new government. This stalemate between them has prompted discussions for new elections.
