Kurti and Abdixhiku meet tomorrow, PDK and Alliance reject invitation

Kosovo's acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, also the leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, and the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku, will meet on Tuesday in an attempt to reach an agreement on the creation of the country's new institutions after the June elections.

Besian Mustafa from LDK told Radio Free Europe that the meeting will be held at 6:00 PM on Tuesday, at the premises of the Kosovo Assembly.

Kurti also extended an invitation to the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Alliance, but the leaders of the two parties rejected the meeting.

The invitation from Kurti, whose party won the June 7 elections, comes three days before the constitutive session of the eleventh legislature to emerge from the June 7 elections is held.

In the letter that the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Bedri Hamza, sent to Kurti, it is stated that at the first meeting in July, the party's position was made clear that it will remain in opposition.

"We expect you, in accordance with the responsibilities arising from the June 7 elections, together with the other parties represented in the Kosovo Assembly, to reach an agreement on the creation of the country's new institutions," Hamza's letter, which was published by local media in Kosovo, states.

The alliance led by Ardian Gjini also rejected the meeting, as it had done in July.

In the invitation sent to the Alliance, Kurti proposed that the meetings could be held on Tuesday or Wednesday, without any set time.

Gjin's Party, in the letter it sent to Kurti, recalled that this party has already set six conditions in exchange for the vote for the creation of institutions, adding that it is not interested in becoming part of the new Kosovo Government.

"Therefore, the Alliance sees no reason at all for us to meet in this format," reads the letter that Gjini returned to Kurti on August 3.

Among the conditions presented by the Alliance is the immediate acceptance of the United States-backed liquefied natural gas project, the initiation of procedures for the construction of a new coal-fired power plant, incentives for small businesses, the abolition of property tax for the agricultural sector, and several others.

On July 10, Kurti met separately with the leaders of the PDK and LDK. After the meeting, Bedri Hamza of the PDK said that his party would remain in opposition. Meanwhile, Lumir Abdixhiku of the LDK expressed his readiness for new meetings.

The LDK, after a party convention held days ago, also confirmed that it is ready to assist in the creation of institutions after the June elections.

Abdixhiku's party had suspended the talks after several delegates initiated a motion to dismiss the party leader. However, Abdixhiku survived this motion.

The Vetëvendosje Movement has won 58 mandates and, together with the parties of the non-majority communities, has enough votes to constitute the Assembly and create the new Government, as they require 61 votes in the Assembly of 120 deputies.

However, the issue of the president requires a two-thirds majority in the Assembly. It was precisely the failure to reach consensus on the president that prompted the June elections – the third since February 2025.

The election of the president requires the presence of 80 deputies in the 120-seat Assembly for the vote for the president of Kosovo to be valid.

A day ago, Kurti said that he is willing and ready to reach an agreement with the LDK.

With a possible agreement with the LDK, which won 18 seats, at least 81 votes would be reached, enough to vote for the new president, if at least 80 of them remained in the hall.

Therefore, the presidential issue is expected to be at the center of the talks between Kurti and Abdixhiku. /REL
