LDK joins PDK and Alliance in accusations against LVV and Kurti

The Democratic League has joined two other entities, the Democratic Party and the Alliance, in accusing the Vetëvendosje Movement and its leader Albin Kurti. Representatives of these entities said that the winning party is treating the Assembly as its property.

The main political entities represented in the Assembly have accused the Vetëvendosje Movement and its leader, Albin Kurti, of failing to constitute the new legislature within the 30-day deadline defined by the Constitutional Court.

Democratic Party MP Enver Hoxhaj described Saturday's meeting as a "session of shame" and, referring to the fact that the Assembly hall was closed on Friday evening, said that Vetëvendosje is treating this institution as its property.

"If yesterday they symbolically locked the assembly hall, today they locked democracy... Kosovo no longer has democracy as of today. There is neither a constitution nor a constitutional order in this country. Mr. Kurti has destroyed, suspended all democratic institutions of this country and these are among the hardest days the Republic of Kosovo has ever had since its existence as a sovereign and independent state," said Hoxhaj.

Democratic League lawmakers have also joined those of other parties in criticism, a day after major differences were expressed between this party and Vetëvendosje regarding reaching a coalition agreement.

LDK MP Jehona Lushaku has said that all responsibility falls on Vetëvendosje.

"We are seeing total irresponsibility from the first subject, which is not finding a way to fulfill its constitutional obligation to present the name of the Speaker of the Assembly and to hold the vote and to constitute the Assembly. And this is truly a disaster, it is a great deficiency, but it is their irresponsibility. I call on all citizens to see this picture of an Assembly that meets and fails to constitute itself, and the responsibility belongs to the largest subject," she said. 

Unlike the MPs of these two parties, those of the Alliance did not speak to the media after the session was adjourned. 

It was this party's MP, Time Kadrijaj, who threw eggs at Kurti, an action that was followed by a physical clash between MPs.

And, while waiting for the session to continue, MP Burim Ramadani said that Kosovo has wasted an enormous amount of time by not having functional institutions.

"We are in a totally absurd situation, not only in terms of legality and constitutional uncertainty, as we believe the constitutional deadline ended yesterday, but this is a totally absurd political, human and partisan situation," said Ramadani.

Representatives of these parties, during public appearances, did not give any indication that they would respond to Kurti's invitation for a meeting, nor did they talk about the possibility of an agreement with Vetëvendosje on the issue of the president.

Vetevendosje, together with community legislators excluding those from the Serbian List, has enough votes to elect the speaker of parliament and vote for the government. However, for the president, at least 80 MPs are required to participate in the vote in the first two rounds.
