At a critical moment of establishing new institutions and electing Kosovo President, Prime Minister Albin Kurti has issued a clear political message today: There are no votes for President Vjosa Osman, writes Periscope. Once a symbol of a new political spirit and co-operation against the old “state”, today the report between Prime Minister Albin [...]
Once a symbol of a new political spirit and cooperation against “Today's report between the prime minister Albin Kurti and president Vjosa Osmani He looks cold, just like it was reported long ago. Kurt's statements after meeting with head Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku, meant a “block” clear to the possibility of Osman relying on a new presidential mandate.
In 2020,2021, Kurt and Osman built a powerful political alliance. Osmani, removed from the LDK, listed side by side of Vetevendosje in parliamentary elections, taking a key role in the plebiscious victory of the time. Later, with the parliamentary majority votes led by Kurti, she was elected president.
Today, this rhetoric has changed dramatically. Kurti said that with about 66 votes in the Parliament, the actual majority is “very far from the” 80 votes needed for the president's election in the first two rounds. He stressed that there are no signature collections and no candidate “with party litres”, implying that it would not jeopardise a name without a broad consensus.
Kurti, after meeting with Obadiah, stressed that Vetevendosje can only secure around 66 votes In the country, a figure far away from the majority of the 80 votes needed for electing the president in the first two rounds. For this reason, he underlined his party has not collected signatures for any candidacy, and that coming out with a name without sufficient support would be politically “harmful”.
In his address, Kurti reiterated that LVV does not have a name with a party booklet aimed at the presidential post, and that neither the LDK nor the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) have proposed any candidate from their ranks. According to him, the president's election requires a solution through a broad political consensus, including the main parliamentary parties.
Constitutional deadlines are approaching and without 80 votes in the first two rounds, the process could go into third round or open unpredictable political scenarios. If no agreement is reached, the country could enter another cycle of institutional tension. /Periscope.
