Dialog among political parties, key to institution creation

Petit Zogaj, analyst and executive director of the organisation “speaks”, Free Europe says the coalition told Radio Europe PAN (The Democratic Party of Kosovo, Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and Initiative for Kosovo), or as he says the Democratic Party of Kosovo is blocking the processes and consequences by bringing Kosovo into a political crisis.

“If it does not create necessary majority, then political dialogue with other parties should be opened to make institutions. In this case, the first step is to build the Assembly. The PAN logic in this case is the blocking logic. Blockada has an address and that address is PDK, so PAN isn't, but PDK”, Zogaj says.

He stresses that blocking actions affect the country's economic development, the well-being of citizens and, of course, foreign policy.

“The blocking logic from the PDK in this case is the logic that is undermining the functionality of a state which is constantly being tested with these kinds of crisis and artificials, as well as guided by political explorers who dare not see themselves out of power”, Zogaj notes.

The other political analyst, Shkelzen Maliqi, thinks that from what is seen in the Kosovo Parliament, blocking the processes are all political parties part of the Parliament until they set conditions and do not release.

Maliqi tells Radio Free Europe, since there are delays and impasses in forming new institutions, there should be dialogue among political parties.

He thinks that to avoid entering a deep political crisis, Kosovo President Hashim Thaci must invite political parties to negotiate.

The initiative should probably be taken by the president, to hold consultations and speed up the process, because it no longer makes sense to delay or condition these two processes [the constitution framework and formation of the government]”, Maliqi estimates.

As long as it rules out the possibility of elections as an option to get out of this situation, analyst Maliqi says it can now happen that pre-election coalitions are not the way they have been so far.

There is another possibility to break these pre-election configurations, have a free movement for some subjects to be separated from preliminary coalitions and negotiate among themselves, perhaps any other configuration can give or make the government”, Maliki considers.

The situation created at the Kosovo Assembly Constituent session, according to analysts, has its source in the electoral system, which is estimated to have enabled neither party or coalition to win a parliamentary majority.

After almost two months since holding early parliamentary elections in Kosovo, the Assembly on August 3rd began its constitutional session.

Lack of Coalition MPs PAN in the continuation of the session, the constitution for Friday has been postponed, but neither did the MPs from this coalition attend the session on Friday.

The Kosovo Assembly has announced that after the advisory meeting of representatives of parliamentary political subjects, it is set to have a similar consultative meeting, with the continuation of the Assembly's constitutional hearing held on Wednesday, August 9th.

International representatives in Kosovo have said it is important for Kosovo to have a functioning Parliament and Government as soon as possible.
