“wrote me to whatsapp...”, Bedri Hamza relates to Kurti on the president's case

Hamza has told of the chronology of all discussions with Kurti and the position the PDK has taken on the president's case. He showed that today he received a message from Kurt in Whatsapp, where he offered them The PDK is the post of Speaker of the Parliament in exchange for the deputy chairman currently holding the PDK.

However, Hamza says the Assembly is constitutional and that the trade Kurti offers is unconstitutional, since with the Constitution, the chairman of the Assembly belongs to the largest parliamentary group to leave the elections.

Then this has a chronology. I'm among the few political party heads I've never set red lines for any political subject. After the election ended, I accepted the official outcome. I've been talking about sweeping political deals, not happening. I have spoken and given stance as the Democratic Party that in case there are candidates proposed by the Jashar family, parliamentary group The PDK (Democratic Party) 22 votes will favour a candidate from this family. We know Mr. Yasar's statement. For me it is acceptable, it is appreciated, it is a family which is slightly different than all others because of the role and contribution it has to Kosovo's freedom and independence.

Beyond that, I didn't go to meetings without proper formalisms. With a communication in the Whatsapp, a weekend, at the government building... The Prime Minister's office... Yes, at the prime minister's office, because he is Prime Minister of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo. And during conversation, my attitude was this: The president is elected the proposed or proposed by the Democratic Party of Kosovo, not necessarily part of the Democratic Party of Kosovo structures. This subject isn't about you, either.

I've been talking about principles, criteria, deals and names. But you can't name me without a political agreement and a reconciliation. On the other hand, we have requested that we have an official invitation that we will discuss within the structures of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, the Chiefs and the Steering Council. We didn't get an official invitation. Official official invitation we declined. It wasn't that heavy that we know, it's not the weather, five to six months ago has repeatedly sent letters to the Democratic League of Kosovo. We don't have such an invitation“, he said.

We, based on this situation, have invited the Steering Council. We have given sufficient time for Mr. Kurti to make the necessary effort to give the country president. Of course there were other priorities. And today, (was a guest a few days ago of gathering the Steering Council), today I have accepted a communication from Mr. Kurti in Whatsapp where the Democratic Party of Kosovo makes an offer. The offer is this: for Democratic Party deputies to stay in the hall, to vote, and as a result of this Democratic Party is offered (I am very correct in interpretation) to the post of Speaker of the Assembly, with a kind of change that Vetevendosje has passed the position of deputy head of the Parliament, which the Democratic Party of Kosovo currently has.

First, this is serious because the head of the Assembly is in agreement, the Assembly is consistent, elected, voted. We have not disputed this case, we are not talking about the Speaker of the Parliament. We have neither asked for office, nor for any of the members of the Democratic Party; we have gone from giving the country institutions, institutional and political stability. And second, this is not serious at all. And the third, which is very important, is not even constitutional. Because the Constitution and the rule of the Parliament's work is clear: The Speaker of the Assembly is up to the largest parliamentary group to exit the last elections. Now, the group who run is in their right hands, and they are entitled to it and voted in the House. While deputy leaders are political representatives of political parties. And in this case, that is, it's not even possible that this is done within the Constitution and that is normally not serious.

Clearly, Mr. Kurti's initial statements have worked in the direction that he had chosen to take. You remember: first the Parliament, then the Government, then it wants laws, and the President... when he becomes “, Hamza said.
