Vetevendosje sent today to President Thaçi the name of Albin Kurti as the prime minister’s nominee. President Thaçi then invited Kurti for a meeting at 12:00 pm, in order to hand him the mandate decree.

“The Office of the President has contacted Vetevendosje by phone and they’ve not expressed any willingness to accept the President’s Decree on Mandatory Assignment in person, as it was common the practice for all similar cases in the past.  Consequently, the Presidential Decree with the name of the Prime Ministerial Candidate will now be formally forwarded to the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, and to the nominee of Vetevendosje,” announcement from the Presidency Information Office clarifies.
