Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has said that continuing the process of constituting the Assembly without an agreement on the issue of the president could make it difficult to reach an agreement with one of the parliamentary parties and practically lead to new elections.
In a press conference after the adjournment of the constitutive session, Kurti requested additional time to continue political discussions, saying that an agreement on the president would enable the full constitution of the institutions.
"Any constitution of the Assembly without an agreement on the issue of the president would practically be a preparation for the dissolution of the Assembly," Kurti declared.
He said that providing the opportunity for political dialogue is, in his opinion, the only way to reach a solution and avoid new elections.
Kurti emphasized that since the certification of the election results, they wanted to give space to discussions, as the opposition parties had requested after the December 28 elections.
"LDK suspended the talks due to internal problems and the next discussion the day before yesterday with the LDK leader showed that there was not enough time to reach an agreement. Given this situation, it is necessary to give the discussions a chance to continue before moving on to the constitution of the Assembly, which could make the potential agreement and the avoidance of the next elections more difficult," he said.
According to Kurti, once an agreement is reached on the president, the process of constituting the Assembly and creating institutions will continue.

Kurti: I do not believe we should declare the efforts for an agreement over.
"When we have an agreement, we will invite the continuation of the constitutive session. When we are assured that we have done everything to avoid going to another unnecessary election," Kurti declared.

The constitutive session was interrupted after the swearing-in of the deputies. The election of the speaker and deputy speakers remains. There is a deadline until midnight tomorrow.
