Mustafa: Kurti should show citizens what the solution is

Former Prime Minister Isa Mustafa, in an interview for Klankosova.tv, commented on the current political situation in the country, focusing particularly on the failure to elect the Speaker of the Parliament and the challenges facing the Vetëvendosje Movement after the last elections.

Mustafa estimates that the failure to elect a speaker of parliament and the institutional impasse are a consequence of Vetëvendosje's dissatisfaction with the election result, as well as its attempt to gain time in order to find a new governing formula or to go to the polls again.

He emphasizes that Albulena Haxhiu's proposal for Speaker of the Assembly should not become an obstacle to the formation of institutions, appealing for a comprehensive political solution to be found.

Mustafa also tells klankosova.tv that the silence of the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti in these circumstances is unacceptable, demanding that he take political responsibility and communicate clearly with citizens.

In this tense situation, according to Mustafa, both opposition parties and the President of the Republic have an important role to play in promoting dialogue and overcoming the political deadlock.

How do you comment on Albulena Haxhiu's failure to be elected Speaker of the Parliament 5 times in a row and do you think this failure is the result of a deeper political rift?

Isa Mustafa: I assess that VV is not satisfied with the election results and is buying time to find a solution to form a government that would suit it or to go to new elections.

Do you think Albulena Haxhiu is the right proposal for Speaker of Parliament and if not, who do you think would be an acceptable name?

Isa Mustafa: The party that came first in the elections, in this case LVV, has the right to propose any of its deputies but also those of other entities for the Speaker of the Assembly. I do not give myself the right to say who the right candidate would be. But the right action would be not to block the proposal in a name that is not being voted for by the deputies of the entities that were previously in opposition. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that this situation is currently convenient for everyone, because no one, except for statements, is having the courage to challenge the government.

What about Albin Kurti's silence, how do you assess it and do you think he should come out and speak to the citizens about the situation that has arisen?

Isa Mustafa: Albin Kurti is turning out to be a negation of himself in the full sense of the word. He is doing everything that he has been attacked and criticized for. But, outside of this assessment, it is up to him to inform his citizens and many voters about what the solution is that he offers to Kosovo. It is up to the leader to make decisions and make them public. To also take the risk of his decisions.

Do you see any risk that Kosovo will go to elections again due to the inability to constitute the Assembly?

Isa Mustafa: I see elections as an alternative. Not as a risk. The risk belongs to the parties, they must be measured. But there is room for political entities to sit together and offer solutions to the country. To give up statements that prevent cooperation.

Even in the past, we have not agreed among ourselves, but we have communicated, we have created space and conditions to talk, regardless of the epilogue.

How do you assess the position that the opposition parties have taken and are they playing a constructive role, or are they benefiting from the "chaos"?

Isa Mustafa: In this situation, no party is in power or in opposition. The chances of forming a government are approximately the same, and the hesitation is also approximately the same. I don't see anyone benefiting from this chaotic situation, as you are defining it. No party can benefit if the country is harmed.

How do you see the role and stance that President Vjosa Osmani has taken during this political situation and does she have a special responsibility to help overcome the blockade?

Isa Mustafa: The president should work to find a way out. The situation, especially regarding the election of the speaker of parliament, regarding the solution given by the Constitutional Court in 2014, could drag on indefinitely. This situation can be resolved with a political solution, not with legal norms. I cannot speak about the president's authority over political entities now, considering that she was very closely linked to VV until the end of last year. But she should give up her outings and deal with household chores.
