The leader of the VV, Albin Kurti, who is also the acting prime minister, has said that there is a will and zeal for these two parties to work together, but according to him, an agreement is required that respects the election result. And Lumir Abdixhiku, leader of the LDK, has said that a comprehensive agreement is needed for all three positions: Parliament, Government and Presidency.
The leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, and the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku, discussed for about three hours on Tuesday night in an attempt to reach an agreement on the formation of institutions, but the meeting resulted in no agreement.
Kurti, who is also the acting prime minister, has said that he has the will and zeal to work together with these two parties, but according to him, an agreement is required that respects the election result.
"Regarding the meeting with LDK, it would be news if we had an agreement, we do not have a political agreement. We discussed different approaches, possibilities. We need a political agreement that respects the election result, does not replace it but transforms the result and contributes to institutional stability. Nobody wants new elections, but if we do not have an agreement, if we do not take steps forward despite the reluctance for new elections, unfortunately they could be caused," Kurti said.
Kurti has emphasized that VV is interested in cooperating with LDK, while on the issue of the president, he has stated that it should be a non-political name.
"We are interested and ready to cooperate with the LDK because our country needs accelerated progress. But the position of the president, our stance is that it should not be part of political power, but of the representation of the Republic. Let's see what the future communication brings. The concrete name should be consensual, inclusive," Kurti said.
He also said that despite the refusal, he is willing to meet with the leaders of the other two parties currently in opposition, the Democratic Party and the Alliance.
The leader of the LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, also described the meeting held on Tuesday as successful and, according to him, the talks will continue in the coming days.

Kurti after meeting with Abdixhiku: There is no agreement
He said that a comprehensive agreement is needed for all three positions: Assembly, Government, and Presidency. He also said that LDK does not want the position of Speaker of the Assembly.
"If we don't have an agreement by August 6, we have told him to continue the constitution. The LDK has no appetite for the Speaker of the Assembly, because he is a ceremonial figure who should represent the proposal of the first party. For other issues, we have an additional deadline. The more times we make a solution, the better", he said. "We stay within the principles already made public. We need a comprehensive agreement to maintain institutional balance and have democratic balance within the institutions".
The constitutive session of the Assembly is scheduled for August 6.
