The leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Memli Krasniqi, has said that Vetëvendosje is deliberately blocking the constitution of the Assembly because it does not have the numbers for the government.
He reiterated that VV should change its proposal for the candidate for parliamentary speaker, and not act on "one person's whims."
"The blockade is intentional and is coming from VV as the first party to receive the proposal. It is senseless, shameful that for the whims of one person, one candidate, one MP "I remain hostage to the state. This is hostage-taking of the state of Kosovo for the whims of a party and a candidate. They had the opportunity to change the candidate because candidates are not imposed when you do not have a parliamentary majority. The problem is that they do not have a majority, they do not have the numbers for the Government and the fact that Albin Kurti cannot be the next Prime Minister is holding the institutions and the state hostage," he said after the failure of the session for the constitution of the Assembly.
Krasniqi added that there are other names in the ranks of VV that PDK does not vote for as well.
"The first step is personally taken by Albin Kurti as the leader of VV. He must change this candidate. Either he must constitute the assembly or go with a political agreement, go for extraordinary elections, there is no other choice."
