Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti has said that opposition parties in Kosovo are in free fall and with each electoral process they are only falling further. 

He said that Kosovo needs a new opposition to have a new president. 

"The opposition is old. This opposition may bring in some new faces, but its craft and character are old. That's why they are in free fall. They are constantly falling through electoral cycles. The more elections are held, the lower they are going. They are not learning any lessons. They would be funny if they weren't poor," Kurti said. 

He said that the opposition is saying "either let the people remove us from the Assembly or they will have to love us with force." 

"There are only these two options. They are deeply dissatisfied with the number of MPs they have. Practically, the LDK is saying that we have 15 MPs but we don't need anything. The PDK is saying that we have 22 MPs but we don't need anything, because you know, 22 + 15 makes 37 and 57 makes 66. They can't mentally digest this and what they are telling the citizens is, we are going to the elections," Kurti said.
