LDK leader Abdixhiku: We will not form a coalition with Vetëvendosje, nor with the opposition without the post of prime minister
2025-03-10 20:13:40 / KOSOVA
The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Lumir Abdixhiku, has said that the LDK will not enter into a coalition with the ruling party, the Vetevendosje Movement, after the February 9 elections. However, he has also ruled out the possibility of a coalition with other opposition parties if the LDK is not offered the post of prime minister.
The Vetëvendosje Movement won the February 9 elections with 42.27 percent of the vote, or 48 seats in the 120-seat parliament. This means that the party cannot form the new executive alone, which requires 61 deputies.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister of Kosovo expressed his confidence that the next government of Kosovo will be led by him and the VV. The number two in the LVV, Glauk Konjufca, stated to an Italian media outlet that they intend to form the Government with non-Serb parties.
Even LDK has ruled out the possibility of a coalition with VV.
"We do not want, do not have and do not work for cooperation with them [VV]. This was our pre-election position and it remains the same," said Abdixhiku.
After VV, in the February 9 elections, the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) won the most votes, followed by the LDK. MPs from the pre-election coalition between the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) and NISMA also secured mandates.
Of all these opposition parties, only Fatmir Limaj, the leader of Nisma, has not drawn a "red line" for a possible coalition with LVV.
PDK and AAK have expressed their willingness to form a government with opposition parties together, but Abdixhiku – who was the LDK's candidate for the position of prime minister – said that the LDK has not discussed such possibilities with any party.
"I and none of the authorized people of the LDK have had any contact with any of the political parties at the level of official communication. Because the first one has the constitutional deadline," said Abdixhiku at the conference called after a meeting of the LDK leadership that lasted over five hours.
He emphasized that it is now up to the Vetëvendosje Movement to attempt to form the Government, as the winner of the elections, and only if this party fails to secure the votes, then other options can be considered.
For the LDK, Abdixhiku said that a coalition with other opposition parties could be an option only if it is offered the position of prime minister and if an agreement is reached for the post of president - a position that belongs to President Vjosa Osmani until next year.
"The country needs stability, a Kosovo government and a parliament," Abdixhiku said.
The path for the formation of new institutions will only open after the Central Election Commission has certified the election results. The vote count has been completed and the process is now in the appeals phase at the Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel and the Supreme Court.
Under Kosovo law, within 30 days of the certification of the results, the country's president must convene the constitutive session of the Kosovo Assembly. If the speaker and deputy speakers are elected, then Vjosa Osmani must ask the winning party, LVV in this case, to propose a candidate to form the Government./ REL
