What's hindering the LDK agreement? LVVV

Long-standing meetings, but without concrete results, took place the following week between the Democratic League of Kosovo and the Vetevendosje Movement, parties aimed at co-governing for the next four years. Although these talks have been under way for three months, LVV and LDK continue to have significant differences regarding the presidential post and now even the chief parliament, the daily Zeri writes.

Speaking of developments, LDK-LVV, political affairs connoisseur Armen Muja suggests that both parties -- aimed at the ruling coalition, the LVV and LDK -- are already in the phase when they have exceeded disputes over specific dictatorships and the possible growth of the number of dictatorships -- do not see it as essential for reaching a coalition agreement. “Although it does not rule out the fact that any creativity there in the division of individual dictatorships can facilitate the deal, but these have the constitutional criteria, as soon as the ministries are added, then the 13th Ministry must meet communities. Then there's a missing minister in their calculations. It means I can't get any of them. Then it should be made 14 or 15 ministries, and that makes it difficult to get that concept over which these parties have won the” election.

Muja estimates that neither the post of president nor the specific ministries are the main aspects hindering the achievement of a coalition agreement between the Vetevendosje Movement and the Democratic League of Kosovo. According to him, both parties behave around two possible scenarios, which are hampering the agreement. “The first scenario is the German scenario, where the first party takes over the prime minister and the second party gets the deputy prime minister, as well as the second party gets the president and the first party takes over the Speaker of the Parliament, while the division of ministries is equal. Meanwhile, the first partner steps down to a ministry until the post of president is elected by the LDK. This is the German script. The second scenario, which I think the LDK is looking for, is to go back on December 25th,”, he has posted.

Returning to the pre-December 25th situation, according to analyst Muja, implies that the Vetevendosje Movement must comply with the demands of the Democratic League of Kosovo to withdraw from the decision chairman's position or for the head of the Assembly to resign. However, Muja says optimistic that a coalition government agreement between these two political parties will be reached.
