After meeting with the leader of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Bedri Hamza, the acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, said that the conversation was constructive, but did not produce a concrete result for the formation of new institutions. Hamza, on the other hand, confirmed that his party will remain in opposition, adding that the LVV has the responsibility for the formation of institutions.

"Based on the conversations we have had and the discussions we have had, normally correct, our position is that PDK is an opposition party for this mandate and we wish success to Mr. Kurti and all those who meet, talk, to give the country institutions, including all institutions," Hamza told reporters.

Kurti said that the meeting took place in a constructive manner and in an atmosphere of willingness and "interest in giving Kosovo new institutions."

"Currently, I cannot say that we have any concrete results, any achievements that I could share with you," Kurti said, adding that the meetings aim to ensure that the country has an Assembly, Government and president within the constitutional deadlines.

Kurti said that as the leader of the winning party in the June elections, his responsibility is for the formation of the Government, but reiterated the position that on the issue of the president, the responsibility lies with all parties.

He reiterated his stance on a consensual figure for the post of president, emphasizing that such a candidacy would be in accordance with the Constitution.

"At the starting point, we would have a consensual figure. So, someone who does not belong to any political party, someone who is beyond the controversies of the current scene, someone who has proven national, professional, civic values ​​and in this way be an expression of unity as our constitutionality requires. This is not our idea and our request, but this is the spirit and letter of the Constitution," Kurti said.

According to him, LVV, PDK and LDK together have sufficient numbers to constitute all institutions.

But, during his statement after the meeting, Hamza said that the responsibility for the formation of institutions belongs to LVV, emphasizing that all other parties cannot elect the new head of state without Kurti's party.

"The LVV must find partners, according to its needs and criteria and their interests, to provide the country with institutions," Hamza told reporters.

Meanwhile, Kurti stated that with 53 mandates from the LVV, and those of the non-Serb minority community parties, he has over the 61 votes needed for the Government, but did not indicate whether voting for the new executive will proceed immediately after the constitution of the Assembly.

"We are interested in giving time to discussions, consultations, so that the legislature has not only a speaker and a government, but also a president," Kurti said.

A meeting with LDK leader Lumir Abdixhiku and Kurti is scheduled for 18:00.

The meetings between political leaders come two days after the certification of the results of the June snap parliamentary elections, which were held after months earlier, parties failed to reach consensus on the country's new president.

Kurti has also invited the leader of the Alliance, Ardian Gjini, to a meeting, but he has rejected the invitation, arguing that his party has already presented six conditions that Kurti would have to meet in exchange for supporting the creation of institutions. /REL/
