The next meeting between Kurti and Abdixhiku also fails to reach an agreement

Wednesday's attempt to reach an agreement between the Vetëvendosje Movement and the Democratic League on the formation of new institutions also failed. The Kurti-Abdixhiku meeting, held without notice in the Parliament, did not provide a solution to the post of president, which the LDK is seeking for itself.

The third meeting between the leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, and the leader of the Democratic League, Lumir Abdixhiku, did not produce an agreement either.

Unlike the two previous meetings, Wednesday's was held in the Parliament building, without prior notice.

Kurti, who won the June 7 elections, has not expressed a willingness to provide details from the meeting, but has confirmed the lack of agreement.

"We have no news, as long as we don't have an agreement. Yes, when we reach an agreement, we will be able to inform you," Kurti said after the meeting.

And, Abdixhiku did not make a statement and avoided journalists, leaving through the back door of the Parliament.

Previously, he attended the first meeting of the elected deputies of the party he leads, who expressed the position that there should be no agreement if it does not guarantee the LDK the position of president.

After this meeting, Abdixhiku refused to provide information on the details of the negotiations with Kurti.

Unlike Wednesday's and Tuesday's meetings, Kurti and Abdixhiku expressed optimism about an agreement when they shook hands for the first time, after the certification of the election results.

After that meeting, the LDK leader did not mention the position of head of state, while Kurti insisted that the holder of this position should be non-partisan.

Political analyst Artan Alija has expressed his belief that if there is no coalition between Vetëvendosje and LDK, early elections are inevitable.

"It remains to be seen whether LVV and Mr. Kurti are willing to give the position of state president to LDK, and if so, then everything else can be overcome. So if there is such an agreement then the constitution of institutions can be done quickly, otherwise in all likelihood if there is no LVV-LDK agreement the country will go to elections again", said Alija.

Based on the interpretation of the Constitutional Court, the Assembly is dissolved and early elections are announced if the president is not elected within 60 days after the constitution of the Assembly.
