Discussions on the formation of the government after the elections in Kosovo, Limaj: We have no agreement, but we will give our contribution

Discussions on the formation of the government after the elections in Kosovo,

The chairman of the Social Democratic Initiative, Fatmir Limaj, said his party is ready to work on the creation of institutions, although he stressed that there is still no agreement with any political party.

"We will make our contribution. We expect the government to be formed according to the constitutional deadlines. We will play our role in the creation of these institutions, as far as it concerns us — and this is where our constitutional duty ends," Limaj said.

The votes of the three representatives of the Social Democratic Initiative could be key to the constitution of the ninth legislature to emerge from the February 9 elections, a vote in which the PDK has said it will not participate.

The LVV, which won 48 seats in the Assembly, has the right to nominate the speaker. The constitutive session, scheduled for Tuesday, is considered concluded only after the speaker and deputy speakers have been elected, and the new deputies have taken the oath.

61 votes are required for the vote for the president. Only after this, the LVV will be able to continue with efforts to form the new Government, for which 61 votes are also required.

Limaj said he is ready to meet and talk with any of the other political parties, including opposition parties.

"NISMA is ready and will work hard for Kosovo to gain institutions.
We will see what happens tomorrow," Limaj added.

He said that Kosovo now faces many challenges and it is important that institutions be established to offer the country "a greater opportunity for Kosovo in economic and political development."

Earlier, Kurti had said that he aims to constitute the Assembly and form the Government within a day. However, earlier on Monday, the acting Minister for Communities and Returns, Nenad Rashic, told reporters that he is not optimistic that a vote on the new Kosovo Government will take place on Tuesday.

LVV has previously said that it prefers an executive with parties from non-Serb communities, but has recently admitted that it also needs cooperation with an Albanian party.

AAK and the Democratic League of Kosovo have expressed their opposition to cooperating with the LVV for the Government. However, the Initiative has not set any red lines, while PDK has said that although there are no red lines for any party, it prefers an executive without the LVV.

However, Kurti does not have the full support of non-Serb parties – which have traditionally supported the Government. Some of the non-Serb parties, which have ten seats in the Assembly, have presented demands in exchange for their votes for the government.

If LVV fails to form a Government, then it is up to the President, Vjosa Osmani, to mandate a political entity that proves it has the numbers.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo came second in the elections with 24 MPs, the Democratic League of Kosovo won 20 seats, and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo and Nisma coalition have eight MPs.

PDK has said it is ready to take on this responsibility. LDK, with 20 seats, has set a condition for cooperation with opposition parties. The condition is taking the post of prime minister, but PDK has said that this post belongs to it. AAK, meanwhile, has not set any conditions for a possible coalition of opposition parties./ REL
