Kosovo's Assembly with special session: Discussing the North Situation

The head of the Vetevendosje Movement parliamentary group, Mimoza Kusari Lila, has confirmed for Gazeta Online Reporter.net that by 10:00, the Kosovo Assembly will hold special session, where parliamentary debate on the situation in northern Kosovo is expected after violent protests in three municipalities in the north.

Holding an extraordinary session for Kurti's report to the Assembly concerning the situation in the north has called for the two opposition PDK and LDK.

PDK Parliamentary Group chief Abelard Tahiri said they have all parliamentary groups have requested that a session be held where Prime Minister Kurti will report on the situation in the north.

He after the chairmanship meeting, said that as a party we will not be standing hands on the cross, adding that the damage caused by the government should be cited following sanctions from America.

Likewise, LDK chairman Lumir Abdixhiku, at a news conference yesterday, has said there are three requirements to stop the degradation that they say Prime Minister Albin Kurti has brought.

As a first request, Abdixhiku has said it is to hold an extraordinary reporting session for the situation in the north, which he said Kurti has invited and that they expect his return to report on the heavy relations of the Republic of Kosovo with our allies, particularly with the US.

On the other hand, the leader of the other opposition party, AAK, Ramush Haradinaj, has announced yesterday at the conference that his party will initiate no-confidence motion against Kurti Government, following developments in the north.

Otherwise, protests in three northern municipalities have started on May 26th, when groups of local Serbs gathered in front of municipal facilities to protest the entry of new Albanian mayors of Zvecan, Zubin Potok and Leposaviqi.

The elections in the four municipalities in the north, inhabited by Serb majority, were held on 23 April following the resignation of mayors from the ranks of the Serb List, the largest party of Kosovo Serbs, in November last year.

The elections were boycotted by the majority Serb population in the area, which now does not accept the new mayors.
