PDK attempts to evade debate on dialogue in the Assembly, says conditions for summer vacation are ripe

The conditions here are ripe to proclaim summer vacation, here is the time to collect the chairmanship collection, and with the conclusion of this session, I propose for a reason, most of the laws that have been on the agenda have been completed last week. Highly important laws like this one that the LDK is boycotting and losing to Kosovo citizens 48m euros cannot now pass in September”, Memli Krasniqi has declared.

The Kosovo Assembly session continues on charges of counter-accus between position and opposition due to the boycott of the draft vote by the Democratic League of Kosovo.

After the hearing began, LDK deputy Andmendi Zemaj reaffirmed that the coalition has the obligation to have 61 votes, while the opposition remains to vote.

On the other hand, Parliament Speaker Kadri Wessel mentioned the demarcation with Montenegro.

“I believe our statement because you've seen your president vote the demarcation after two years”, he said.

The head of the Democratic Party of Kosovo parliamentary group, Memli Krasniqi, has said that LDK's internal problems cannot be overcome by carrying them to the Kosovo Assembly.

“How many votes this coalition has seen last week when the parliamentary agenda was carried out, despite the LDK boycott, despite attempts to prevent the work of the Parliament from continuing and against the tendency not to vote on important laws for citizens rather than on the coalition”, he said.

LDK deputy Andmen Zemaj has again reacted, saying the draft law on ratification of the financial agreement for The IPA 2017 will support it, but the demarcation vote is not behind the leadership Mustafa.

There's no behind in the past government in the Kosovo Assembly, this is prejudice, but do you know what vote it was, vote when you did 87 numbers to bring down our government, that's what you've got?”, he said.

Even LDK parliamentary group chief Avdullah Hoti said they will continue to deepen the boycott until the elections.

And you've seen since this morning that this assembly has not been functional, 47-8 votes have been constantly, we expressed a political will to pass agreements that require two-thirds but with your behavior, with the swells that MPs, parliamentary groups, you destroy any political will in the Assembly to function normally on issues that require two-thirds. We will continue and deepen the boycott until the country goes to elections, until you realize you can't move forward with this form of governance”, Hoti said.

And Kadri Wessel told Hot that the Parliament is not a fountain of wishes.

The tendency to boycott is clearly seen, we have to say clearly, you don't have authority either as a parliamentary group, that's your problem, it's not the problem of the Speaker of the Assembly, and it's currently”, he said.

After that, Wessel voted the bill on ratification of the financial agreement for IPA 2017, the first part, between Kosovo and the European Union, but did not receive two-thirds of the deputies.

Again, Memli Krasniqi reacted, saying it is not normal every five minutes for political parties to change attitudes.

The conditions here are ripe to proclaim summer vacation, here is the time to collect the chairmanship collection, and with the conclusion of this session, I propose for a reason, most of the laws that have been on the agenda have been completed last week. Highly important laws like this one that the LDK is boycotting and losing to Kosovo citizens 48m euros cannot now pass in September”, Krasniqi said.

Afterward, Wessel called the chairmanship meeting to decide whether to continue the sessions or to announce summer break.
