The leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, has once again expressed his desire for a coalition with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).
Acting Prime Minister Kurti emphasized that the "right" coalition would be the one with LDK. He also mentioned the three votes of Nisma.
According to him, the country should have an opposition, adding that he does not support the idea of a Transitional Government.
"I have offered to LDK because I consider that the closest in co-government, both in terms of orientations and experiences, but also in terms of our electorates, would be the right coalition. Vetëvendosje plus LDK, plus non-Serb minorities, would become seventy-seven deputies. We are 57, and 20 from LDK would make us 77. Even if we add three from Nisma, we would become 80. Even for international agreements, we believe that this is the right way forward, I am not for those solutions of technical governments, transitional governments, which leave Kosovo without an opposition," Kurti said on RTK.
He mentioned the invitations he made to PDK and LDK in an attempt to break the deadlock, which according to him, the trilateral meeting ended with a bilateral and unsuccessful one.
Kurti also said that without Nisma in the February 9 elections, AAK would remain below the threshold.
He explained why there is no agreement with the leader of the Social Democratic Initiative, Fatmir Limaj.
Kurti said that it is good that Limaj and Nisma have returned to the Kosovo Assembly and that this party should be a sister party to the Vetëvendosje Movement.
"The meetings have taken place in an atmosphere where trust has increased, where confidence, the will to cooperate has increased. However, where there has been no disagreement, simply because of an insistence, a precondition, or even a condition, for cooperation in the future for the position of speaker of parliament. Now I am in a pre-election coalition with Guxo and Alternativa. Giving the speaker of parliament to a party with three MPs, when I have a party that has twice the number of MPs, this irreparably damages the architecture of the previous agreement that VV has with Guxo and Alternativa. It was not possible," Kurti said on RTK.
Meanwhile, he said that PDK "does not need" him in the government, even though Memli Krasniqi had invited him to the meeting to break the deadlock.
"The PDK needs another mandate in the opposition. We barely brought it into the opposition after 20 years and I don't understand why there is such zeal to bring it back to power among those who are in the opposition and are not part of the PDK," Kurti said.
