The acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has said that former President Vjosa Osmani wants power and has political ambitions.
"I know that President Osmani has political ambitions. She wants power. It's completely okay, it's completely legitimate in a democracy. I'm emphasizing again that this is a political competition. It's very good that she has entered the political competition," Kurti said on KTV's "Interaktiv".
He reiterated that they do not have a vote for Osman for president.
He said that the president should be out of the current political scene.
He also commented on Osman's statement "that rent is being sought for Bondsteel."
"Bondsteel does not owe anyone because the private properties it has taken for use are already paying rent. For the health of our democracy and a little for the strengthening of the opposition, it is important that they do not go to America, take America and attack the Prime Minister of Kosovo. It seems that they do, Osmani is doing it too. The opposition bloc has a completely wrong working method to take America to hit Albin Kurti. Am I strong enough to take America to hit me to leave a little mark on me? This is very irrational," Kurti said.
He also spoke about Osman's statement a few days ago during a rally in Pristina, that Kurti had held a meeting for several hours in a room with Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and the then EU envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, Miroslav Lajčák, about which he did not inform the public.

Kurti: I believe these elections are the last for this year
"I have never met with the President of Serbia in a separate room, and we have never met with Emissary Lajcak alone. There are always people around taking notes. There are no meetings that we hold and then we don't know what was said there and what was not said by Brussels and Washington because the EU and the US do not trust Emissary Lajcak more than they trust themselves. I have reported several times about the dialogue in Brussels on the basic agreement, on the implementation annex, and there are no questions from opposition leaders that I have not answered. There are no questions that I have had in the meetings that I have had with Osman that I have not answered."
Regarding the opposition, Kurti said that there is no prime minister who has respected the opposition more.
"They followed me with the police when I was in opposition. They broke into my apartment every year," Kurti said.
