Deliu: PDK does not propose names for president without a preliminary political agreement

PDK MP Blerta Deliu-Codra, in a proposal for Online Economy, said her party has participated in all meetings so far in order to prove political will and not be blocking in the process.

The fact that the Democratic Party of Kosovo has been part of all meetings so far with all political parties, in this case even with Vetevendosje Movement, precisely to make our efforts to prove our political will not to be blocking the situation when the country will slide towards new elections. So seeing that these meetings have not had any effect and that we already have a new cycle of meetings invited by Mr. Kurti after the Constitutional Court's decision, we have asked to make the invitation concrete and then treat this invitation to party organs, to the Steering Council that is the highest institution within the party, and to the party's leadership to get and the final position on this issue. On the contrary, I'm saying these meetings that don't produce anything, it's hard to say that they will have their effect without concrete already because they're not happening for the first time, she said.

Deliu-Codra stressed that, according to information she has, there is no new invitation from the VV, repeating the position that without a clear and official invitation, there can be no institutional response from the PDK.

No, I'm not saying we haven't, so much that I have information that there is no new invitation, and the attitude of the invitation and we've clarified it now, as long as there's been a clear demonstration of the invitation that should come to the letter officially, to be treated institutionally as we deserve to have institutional answers as a political subject, I'm convinced that meetings that have taken place now and that they haven't produced anything. On the contrary, Kosovo today, if it had Mr. Kurti's political will, Kosovo would have its president or president”, she said.

She added that the PDK will not propose names for president without a preliminary political agreement, stressing that responsibility for electing the president remains with the prime minister.

“We have already said and as long as names cannot be proposed without a political agreement, and the fact that we have failed to have political agreements that the proposal meets the Democratic Party of Kosovo, of course we have not proposed names. So, Mr. Kurti said he had all the opportunity, he had it now and as long as he chooses the president and it's completely in his political will whether Kosovo will give a president or president, or the country will slip into new elections”, she said.

Speaking of the current situation in the country, it criticised the government for failing to focus on economic and social issues.

“On the contrary, such a huge power, remember now, and as long as governance priority, projects, development of Kosovo at the time when everything in the lives of Kosovo citizens is burdened, prices are too high, the price of oil is something that has added even more to the citizen's price of electricity, the serious state that today has the private sector, of course low wages, all these are challenges that need address and Kosovo needs as soon as it has its institutions. If Albin Kurti has political will to have president, Kosovo will have its own institutions. Otherwise, his negligible approach to other parties will not lead Kosovo anywhere”, she said. /Periscope
