Spahija: Parties should agree on a government and a president at the same time

Florent Spahija

Florent Spahija from the Democratic Institute of Kosovo said that it is good for political parties to sit down tomorrow and talk about power sharing, as according to him, it is impossible not to reach a governing coalition due to the fact that we also have the issue of the president on the agenda.

He emphasized on the "60 Minutes" show on KTV that the issue of coalition should be analyzed by each political party based on the percentage and political power it gained in the elections.

"The fact that we have the issue of the president on the agenda makes it almost impossible not to form a governing coalition. If they do not, but agree on the name of the president, but they can only form the government, it is still a political agreement that political entities must bring to the table. The parties must immediately sit down and agree on both the government and the issue of the president at the same time. There are only 60 days after the constitution of the Assembly to elect the government and the issue of the president," said Spahija.

Regarding possible changes in the percentage of results after counting votes from the diaspora, Spahija said that the maximum that the Vetëvendosje Movement can increase is 2% more, based on the fact that the Vetëvendosje Movement has traditionally won more of these votes.

In the December 28 elections, the Vetëvendosje Movement's result increased from 49 to 51% after counting the votes from the diaspora.

"If the Vetëvendosje Movement gets 45 percent of the votes from the diaspora, it could win one to two more MPs. To have 51 MPs, Vetëvendosje needs to have 47% of the votes, but I would say it is almost impossible to get all these votes. So, based on what we have seen from previous experience. If we measure it with the December 28 elections, it has increased to 51% from 49% after the diaspora votes were counted. So there could be an increase of 2%," said Spahija.

Spahija from KDI also spoke about the low voter turnout. He said that this was due to the lack of diaspora in Kosovo to vote as it was in December. As for local voters, there were many elections in a short period of time.

"All the subjects, especially the first two, had a decline. The largest subject, especially the Vetëvendosje Movement, had a huge drop in votes. This seems to be a consequence of the lack of diaspora coming to vote because, as you know, there were a very large number of them in December. On the other hand, even the citizens inside who voted had a kind of revolt, they did not want to go out and vote again," Spahija declared.

Based on the preliminary results of the June 7 elections, published by the Central Election Commission (CEC), which do not include conditional votes, those cast by mail, and those cast in diplomatic missions, the Vetëvendosje Movement, which won 42.91 percent of the votes, will have 48 deputies in the Kosovo Assembly.
