Kurti: The opposition is extending the mandate

The incumbent Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has declared he is entering the second quarter of his fifth year term, while the new institutions have not yet been constitutionalised after the last elections, EO reports, Periscope follows.

He has stressed that, unlike democratic practices, the opposition in Kosovo is not trying to cut the government's mandate, but rather is extending it.
Kurti said there is no clear explanation for this institutional behaviour and described the situation as incomprehensible.
He stressed that the sooner the secret vote for chairmanship is introduced, the sooner the new government will be formed.
You know I've entered the second quarter of the fifth year of the full term. Every democratic opposition tries to cut the government's mandate. Exceptive is the Kosovo opposition, which, as you all witness, is extending the mandate of the AK government. Someone may even think we have an agreement, so that we as a government in office have some agreement with the current opposition to stay in power as long as possible. But I assure you that's not true. ”
I don't have an explanation for this situation through which Kosovo institutions are going through. According to Article 31 of the Law on Government, we have less power as government in office, but our work has not changed. We have just as much work. The sooner the Parliament is constitutionalised, electing its leadership by secret vote, the sooner the new government will be formed.”
While there is no new government, Kurti 3 remained in office. This is reality. I don't have what to add,” he said.
