Dehari is convinced by the LVV-LDK agreement, although the numbers are not expected to be for the presidency

The deputies elected in June are expected to gather on September 9 to continue the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly, in an effort to end the political crisis that has been going on for over a year and to pave the way for the formation of new institutions. 

The chairman of the session, Avni Dehari, announced on Friday that the session, which was interrupted last month, will continue on Wednesday at 11:00.

Dehari justified the decision with the agreement reached between the Vetëvendosje Movement, led by the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, and the Democratic League of Kosovo, regarding the candidate for president of Kosovo.  

"Although there is still no complete clarity as to whether there is the necessary number of deputies to constitute all institutions, I have decided to call the continuation of the Constitutive Session on September 9 at 11:00. Until then, I expect this agreement to be accompanied by concrete responsibilities and the willingness of the deputies to fulfill their constitutional obligations. Kosovo does not need another delay, nor another crisis, and even less a new electoral process," Dehar's announcement states.

Dehari's invitation to continue the session has sparked reactions. The leader of the Alliance, Ardian Gjini, has called the scheduling of the continuation of the constitutive session on September 9 a mockery of the state and a departure from constitutional rules. 

Describing this date as beyond any constitutional deadline, Gjini has called Vetëvendosje and Albin Kurti "supercriminals".

"The vast majority of us knew that there were violations even 30 days ago, but we believed that an open path must be maintained so that Kosovo does not stray outside any constitutional lines. What happened today is that a person who has illegally occupied the institutions and has been tolerated by all parties has set himself another 30 days and has violated these 30 days as well. Kosovo is outside the norms of its own constitutional regulation. This is anarchy, to put it mildly. They will be remembered as the greatest supercriminals in history, using their own terms," ​​said Gjini. 

However, it remains unclear whether the September 9 session will be sufficient to elect a new president of Kosovo, despite the agreement reached between LVV and LDK.

Earlier this week, Kurti and LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku agreed that Kosovar diplomat and lawyer Bekim Sejdiu would be a candidate for the next president of Kosovo.

But Sejdiu's candidacy has been opposed by six LDK deputies, questioning the possibility of his election.

While internal clashes continue in the LDK following the decision of the 6 MPs, the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance have been holding an action in front of the Kosovo Government building for several days now, demanding the constitutive session of the Assembly be called as soon as possible.
