Emergency for formation of new institutions

According to them, due to the fact that in early parliamentary elections on February 14th, the Vetevendosje (LVV) Movement has won over 50 per cent of the vote, it places enormous responsibility on this political subject as soon as the process for new institutions is completed.

LVV leader and prime ministerial candidate Albin Kurti, along with LV leader of the president's office Vjosa Osmani, who claims a full mandate of the president, will hold consultative meetings with political parties on the formation of new institutions Monday.

Muhariri: I do want to create institutions fast

Donika Emini, executive director of the CaviKos platform, tells Radio Free Europe that the current experiences in Kosovo have shown that processes for forming governments have lasted for two to three months. But, according to her, in the current situation, Kosovo does not have the luxury to wait for months for the formation of government, and by the end of March or early April, it would be enough time to complete the formation of new institutions.

As she says, based on the current situation, no issue should be of priority to the new government, rather than access to the coronary pandemic.
The “must be started with something that is urgent to address and that is the vaccine. Kosovo has remained the only country in the region that has no dose and is not seen having a solution very soon. High reaction level required here. Then, of course, there is the economy and there is no need to overlook other priorities, but here (vacins) focus first. Everything else, doesn't have the same emergency”, Amy stressed.

In recent days, Kosovo has noted an increase in new Corleone cases in the last ten days, with 5,769 new cases and 156 victims. The arrival of vaccines against the coronary was warned for the month of February, but is now expected to come by the end of March.

Artan Mujariri, professor of Sociology, says the election result that Vetevendosje Movement has received, allows no space for its leader, Albin Kurti, who is the country's only contender for prime minister, to procrastinate the establishment of institutions. For more, he says, this result obliges Kurt to respect the urgent needs of citizens. On the contrary, citizens will face the continuation of a state of emergency, an economic stalemate, and a suspension of normal life.

Therefore, it is natural that Kosovo needs stable institutions very soon, in order to help the people, to help citizens confront the pandemic at all levels. So starting with what's more essential, which is the health aspect, but then to continue with economic, social and so on. Only by means of an organised, institutionally planned response can major damage be minimized, both in health and economic terms”, Mujazir stressed.
However, both of these connoisseurs of political developments estimate that to end up forming new institutions, the challenge will be to elect the president of the country.

So far, the Vetevendosje Movement has declared that the candidate for the task will be Vjosa Osmani, who in the February 14th elections has competed on the joint list with the party.

The country's president's post claims also Alliance for the Future of Kosovo leader Ramush Haradinaj.

The president's eventual failure to elect the country again in early parliamentary elections.

Donika Amyn expresses the opinion that the winning election party, the Vetevendosje Movement, should take over the establishment of institutions as soon as possible, even through the creation of cohesion with other political parties. According to her, the votes of other parliamentary parties may not need the Vetevendosje Movement for forming the government, because it has already warned that it can do so along with parties of non-Serb and non-Serb subject.

But, as Emini considers, the votes of the other parties, or at least, their deputies' position in the hall to make the two-thirds quorum of the assembly's 120 deputies necessary.

“It is imperative that the election winner extend his hand, which has started with sending invitations (to other parties), but then other political parties co-operate in this direction so that the interests of the country and citizens can be priority. So far, as far as I have seen, other political parties have not refused or declared it harsh against Mrs. Osmani as president. Particularly, some, considering the stay in the hall, in case it is needed for the quorum, but not necessarily its vote for president”, Amy said.
However, Professor Muhaxiri estimates that the danger of reelection should be viewed as extremely real. According to him, if LVV and its leader Kurti want Vjosa Osmani to become president, then they should immediately start reviewing some plans in order to secure potential allies.

“Kurti has to impose dialogue and agreement with other parties to achieve the necessary numbers in the assembly because it has no moral right to demand that other parties pardon votes for the president's position and vote on Mr. Osmani without demanding any compromise. This would be Kurt's gullibility because that's not likely to happen, no matter how much he won the election at an extraordinary percentage of”, Muhrami stressed.

The Central Election Commission on Saturday, 13 March, certified the election outcome under which the LVV won 58 mandates, the Democratic Party of Kosovo 19, the Democratic League of Kosovo 15 and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo will have eight seats. The government's creation needed 61 votes. Kurti has indicated that she will not invite any Albanian parties into the ruling coalition and that she accounts for the votes of non-US communities, except the Serbian List.
