Political crisis in Kosovo, today extraordinary session of the Parliament to elect a new government
2025-11-19 08:19:08 / KOSOVA
The Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo will hold two extraordinary plenary sessions today, where several important draft laws are expected to be addressed and then a vote will be held to elect the new government.
The first session begins at 11:00, as the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo have announced that they will not participate in the 11:00 session.
Meanwhile, the Assembly session to elect the new Kosovo government will begin at 2:00 PM.
The 11:00 a.m. session was called with several agenda items, such as the formation of parliamentary committees, then the first review of the draft law on budget allocations, the approval of the budget for three municipalities of Kosovo (Prishtina, Gjilan and Zubin Potok), the issue of financing Radio Television of Kosovo, and the ratification of several international agreements.
The session for the Government is being held on the last day of the constitutional mandate, after President Vjosa Osmani mandated Glauk Konjufca from the Vetëvendosje Movement on November 4 to form the new executive.
According to practice, Konjufca is expected to present a presentation to 120 MPs and introduce the new governing cabinet, for which at least 61 votes are required.
After being proposed as a candidate by the LVV, Konjufca said that he wants cooperation with parliamentary parties, but not any coalition agreement.
He said he is seeking the support of MPs for his government in order to avoid parliamentary elections in December and for the country to have an executive "at least" until April, when the country's new president should be elected.
Meanwhile, the leader of the LVV, Albin Kurti, has stated that he does not see even a "theoretical possibility" of reaching a coalition with other Albanian parties, which, according to him, have "built a hybrid hatred towards me."
During Konjufca's nomination for prime minister, Kurti said he would take the post of deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs and diaspora – a post that Kurti had proposed to Konjufca in the proposed executive on October 26. At the time, Kurti failed to secure the necessary 61 votes from MPs.
Kurti was mandated on October 11 by Osmani to form the new executive.
The first candidate for prime minister, according to the Constitution, belongs to the first party.
After the decree of the Konjufca, Osmani said that the other major Albanian parties did not have a name for the mandate, adding that the Constitution states that if there is a name proposed for the second mandate, the president must appoint him, and there is no room for her to refuse his appointment.
The LVV won the February 9 elections, but did not secure enough seats in the Assembly that would allow it to form a government without cooperation with other parties.
In the February 9 elections, the Democratic Party won 24 seats, the Democratic League 20, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo five, and the Social Democratic Initiative, which competed in the elections on a joint list with the AAK, has three deputies.
The Serbian List has nine of the ten seats guaranteed for the Serbian minority, Nenad Rašić's party has one, and ten other seats have been won by representatives of other minorities. /REL/
