Calculations of non-Serb minorities and “transfers” of MPs for ministerial positions

Immediately after publishing the preliminary results, Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has dismissed the possibility of any coalition with the major Albanian parties that are in opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK).

Even these three opposition parties have said they will not co-operate with Kurti.

With Kosovo laws, within 30 days of certificate results, the country's president must call the constitutional collection of the Kosovo Assembly. If the chairman and vice-presidents are elected, then Vjosa Osmani must ask the winning party, the LVV, in this case to propose the mandater for forming the government.

But, this party seems to have 48 parliamentary seats in the 120-sosh framework.

To form Government, a warrant needs at least 61 votes.

Political analysts believe Kurti accounts for the government's formation scenario with non-Serb minorities, which have 10 seats, as well as in movements that could make several current opposition deputies, “for ministerial positions”.

The AAK, it has openly said there are no “red” in front of possible coalitions, either with LVV or with parties currently in opposition.

But for politicologist Dritaro Arifi, Kosovo does not need a fragile “ ” government in the current geopolitical situation in the world.

A single party, such as Vetevendosje, with such a small and fragile coalition, will find it impossible to implement demands that may come from international partners”, Arifi tells Radio Free Europe.

Can a Government Be Made? PDK-LDK-AAK?

Asked about the eventual demands, Arifi estimates it may no longer be talked about forming the Association of Serb majority municipalities:

“What if something more is required, how much are we willing to move on these major global changes? A lot may be required, but we're not interpreting too much, but we're taking one: what if change of the border is required? What are we willing to do, and how will we do so? This is the biggest sin that a whole society has no answer to”.

If the winning party fails to form Government within two weeks, then the president is forced to mandate that party or group that convinces him it can form it.

For Arifi, even if this implies a coalition among three major Albanian parties, PDK-LDK- The AAK, the view is again pale, as it does not guarantee stability.

What combination could work?

Arifi thinks that a coalition between LVV and the PDK would be the best for Kosovo, because, according to him, the crisis for the president's position could be overcome, as Osmani expires the mandate next year.

Asked how likely such a coalition could function, how close these parties are to ideology, Arifi believes that no political subject in Kosovo has any distinction in this respect, and that everyone has almost the same concept:

If you only look at debates and speeches, everything in Kosovo is about the public sector, the salary increase. The world of policymaking is very narrow. There's no great difference”.

However, according to Arifi, an LV coalition V- The PDK could function if the parties focus on 6-7 priorities, so the result is <x0-positive for society and for the state”.

The importance of stability in Kosovo has mentioned the international factor as well.

Lately, Secretary General NATO, Mark Rutte, has said that Kosovo should have a stable government, while confirming that the military alliance will work with anyone who will lead Kosovo.

The LVV, currently in power and has won the most votes in the February 9th parliamentary elections, has pledged to form Government again.

Its leader, Kosovo prime minister at the same time, Albin Kurti, has said he is awaiting the Certificate of results, before members of his party sit down and look ahead:

The situation has not changed for us to have other attitudes in terms of our opponents. There's been a hybrid war against our government and the LVV, and we've come out victorious, and the winner has to and will form the new government”. / REL
