Osmani invites parties to consult on the date of local elections

The President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, has invited political parties to a meeting on Wednesday to consult about the date of local elections in Kosovo.

"Immediately after consultations, the president will set the election date," announced Bekim Kupina, media advisor to President Osmani.

The last local elections in Kosovo were held in October 2021. The Democratic League of Kosovo came first, followed by the Vetëvendosje Movement and the Democratic Party of Kosovo.

Discussions about local elections are taking place at a time when Kosovo still does not have a new Government, as a result of the failure to constitute the Kosovo Assembly, although parliamentary elections were held on February 9 of this year.

On June 2, the Assembly failed to convene for the 25th time.

The Vetevendosje Movement, which won the most votes in the February 9 elections, and the parties that were in opposition in the previous legislature, have not reached an agreement on the method of voting for the new speaker of parliament, and on the LVV's proposal for this position, Albulena Haxhiu, considering her a divisive figure.

The deputies must elect the president and five vice presidents to finally constitute the new Assembly.

Only after the constitution of the Assembly can the new Government be formed.

Diplomatic representatives of the QUINT countries [United States, Great Britain, Italy, France and Germany] as well as the Head of the European Union Office in Kosovo, met a few days ago with the acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, requesting the rapid formation of institutions to ensure the well-being and prosperity of the citizens of Kosovo./ REL
