Political activist Anita Shabani-Cacaj has assessed that the Vetëvendosje Movement is aiming to enter the elections as a victim, so that there is no need for cooperation with opposition parties.
Shabani-Cacaj, on the show "Konfront" on KTV, said that Kurti's plan changed along the way because the opposition rejected a coalition with him, while calling the increases in allowances and the allocation of 100 euros a campaign.

Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support Contribute"Albin Kurti has tried to go to the elections and has also tried to form the government and along the way he has made another plan which he says even today that he cannot guarantee that he can form coalitions and form the government if he does not win 50% of the citizens' votes. Kurti has changed his position along the way because the opposition did not join the coalition. The increases in allowances, the allocation of 100 euros were campaign items. He wants to enter the elections as a victim and not need the opposition," declared Shabani-Cacaj.
Dakaj: Kurti does not want a government, he is looking for a cause to target the 51 percent
Journalist Shkëlzen Dakaj said that the projection of the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, was to create causes, and that he did not want to create the new government from the beginning.
He added that Kurti has attempted to create the narrative that the state can function even with a government in office and that there is no institutional crisis, while Kurti's goal, according to Dakaj, was 51 percent.
"An argument that gives me that Albin Kurti did not want to form a government. How many statements have you heard Albin Kurti making when he said 'Kosovo is not in an institutional crisis, Kosovo has a government, it has ministries, it has state mechanisms', he minimized the creation of the government by saying that we only have the problem in the Assembly. The reason is why he did not resign, so that he could stay. All of these are factors that Albin Kurti did not want to form the Kurti 3 Government. Today you hear a large part of them (LVV) saying "'We aim for 50+'. This was the projection, that Albin Kurti will create causes," said Dakaj.
Gashi sees possibility for PDK to vote Konjufca as prime minister
Lawyer Tomë Gashi has said that it is possible that the Democratic Party of Kosovo will vote for the VV candidate for prime minister, Glauk Konjufca, in the Assembly session that is expected to be called within days.
He added that Memli Krasniqi's withdrawal from the position of PDK chairman was a good move for him, as according to him, the party can now decide differently from the stance it has had so far on voting for a VV candidate for prime minister.
Gashi said that PDK would gain political points by voting for Konjufca.
"Krasniqi has made a good move for himself by withdrawing because of what is expected to happen. I believe that by the end of this week or the beginning of next week we will have a session of Parliament where Konjufca will emerge as the nominee of VV for prime minister, there may be a surprise because this is not a coincidence. I think that there will be an agreement within the party itself on whether PDK will vote for Konjufca as prime minister, if they do this PDK would gain political points because a party would emerge that would say that it is in the interest of the state", he said.
Gashi: An LDK academic called him a mother, Kurti voted him for vice president
Lawyer Tomë Gashi also spoke about the blockade created for months and the language used, referring to the expression of the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti who called the members of the then opposition "scoundrels", and said that this is not the reason why offers for cooperation are being rejected.
Lawyer Gashi, on the show "Konfront" on KTV, stated that an LDK academic insulted Albin Kurti, but he voted for him as deputy speaker of the Kosovo Assembly.
"You know a person, an academic from the LDK, cursed at Albin Kurti's mother in the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo, he forgot to leave the microphone open. Albin Kurti then voted for him as deputy speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo. There is no anger because someone says something to someone because among us Albanians there are people who are killed and go to prison for 20 years, but Albin, as a tolerant person, voted for him as deputy speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Kosovo," Gashi declared on "Konfront".
Sadiku: The Lladrovci case has also lost PDK several other municipalities
Journalist Naim Sadiku has stated that Memli Krasniqi's resignation from the position of PDK chairman has saved this party from losing more votes in the electorate.
Sadiku, on the show "Konfront" on KTV, assessed that PDK's great focus on Drenas and its anger with candidate Ramiz Lladrovci, also lost the opportunity to win in more municipalities.
"Ramiz Lladrovic's closeness to the Jashari family is known. Any of his exits from PDK or another political formation would halve PDK in the elections, not only to achieve the result it has, because it is not even about growing, but it would mean halving the votes. His resignation overcomes this risk, unites the party and can enter the elections with a hope for growth with a new leader such as Bedri Hamza. All this dedication of PDK in the municipal elections, it seems that Drenas has also lost several other municipalities. Perhaps it could have won one or two more municipalities if it had not been for this anger that was connected between the party and Ramiz Lladrovic and all this dedication in Drenas", said Saidiku.
In the local elections of October 12, Ramiz Lladrovci won without a runoff in the Municipality of Drenas with the subject “For Drenas Champion.” Lladrovci ran as an independent after the PDK decided to run with Petrit Hajdari.
