The constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly has been interrupted after the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, requested additional time to continue discussions with parliamentary parties regarding the election of the country's president.
In his speech, Kurti thanked the PDK leader, Bedri Hamza, and the LDK leader, Lumir Abdixhiku, for the meetings held, emphasizing that the Vetëvendosje Movement remains ready to hold talks with the PDK and the Alliance, despite the refusal of these parties so far. After the first meeting, Hamza of the PDK said that they no longer have anything to meet for because they have decided to be in opposition. And the talks with the LDK have been announced to continue.

"We want talks with both the PDK and the Alliance, even though their refusal is clear. We want to move forward together, but we need the broadest possible agreement on the unifying president, as required by the constitutionality we swore an oath to today," Kurti declared in the Assembly.
He added that the constitution should not end with the dissolution of the Assembly and the holding of new elections, requesting additional time for discussions on the issue of the president.
"The constitution this time cannot once again lead to a dissolution of the Assembly and again premature and unreasonable elections, harmful to the economy. Therefore, the honorable chairman Avni Dehari, we request additional time to give a chance to political talks for an agreement for a new president or presidents," Kurti said.
