The Speaker of the Assembly of Kosovo, Glauk Konjufca, said that the Democratic League of Kosovo and the Democratic Party of Kosovo are in the wrong position regarding the fact that the elections should not be postponed.

According to Konjufca, the chairman of the Vetëvendosje Movement explained the reason why it is better to postpone the local elections to be held on October 17.

“VV in a meeting with the president represented by Albin Kurti, explained the position of VV that the best election is to be pushed to concentrate on managing the pandemic.”

“LDK and PDK are wrongly positioned.

“The president acted correctly, and I think she should have listened to the opposition”, said Konjufca in Klan Kosova.

Further, he said that if the parties want elections, then the measures against the spread of the pandemic will not have effect as he mentioned the time when VV in June this year demanded elections where he said that situation does not compare with this.

“I think that regarding the Hoti Government and the calls in the square when we said ‘elections’, it does not even compare to today”, said Konjufca.

Serbs describe the signing of the EU-brokered agreement as high treason, while the Kosovars describe it as a betrayal of the interests of the Kosovar Albanians.

Serbs from northern Kosovo have rejected an agreement brokered by the European Union signed between the governments of Serbia and its breakaway territory, Kosovo, to normalize relations.

Some have even called the agreement treason and threatened protests on Sunday and Monday.

Hashim Thaci, the Kosovar prime minister, is also grappling with similar opposition. Many describe his signing of the agreement as a betrayal of the interests of the Kosovar Albanians.

Al-Jazeeras Aljosa Milenkovic reports from Belgrade.

Vetëvendosje Movement MP, Arbër Rexhaj praised the Kurti Government for the 100-day work of the executive. According to him, no previous government has worked more in the rule of law and foreign policy.

Rexhaj in the plenary session, where the work of the government cabinet is being debated, also criticized the opposition for jealousy and oppositionism, as barren said.

“In 100 working days, no previous government has worked so hard. “No government has shown its success in pandemic management, economic revival, rule of law, order and the field of foreign policy and defense,” Rexhaj added.

He addressed the opposition, that they can not behave the same when they are in power, as they were in opposition, after the roles were changed.

“Of course we behaved differently when we were in opposition, we are different today when we are in government. Roles have already changed. I understand the jealousy of our colleagues, because they are not able to do the opposition properly. “They even have it barren and with topics that are empty,” he said.

BOYCOTT IS A DISTENT PAST FOR THE OPPOSITION They go to the elections in Belgrade in four or five columns, but not necessarily the list

Among the opposition parties that have not yet revealed to the public their plans to run in the Belgrade elections, there are currently four to five different columns of organizations that could cooperate in some kind of joint campaign, not necessarily appear on joint lists.

While the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, as well as some smaller opposition coalitions, such as “NADA”, are clearly announcing the start of the campaign for the Belgrade elections, as Danas reports, the rest of the opposition is still “redistributing” and grouping in several columns.

One of the columns could be the one recently summoned by Dragan Djilas, the leader of the Party of Freedom and Justice, who said that he was in favor of “a single Belgrade list” of the entire opposition that is against Vucic.

He specified that this includes the SAA, DS, PZP, NDBG, ZZS of Nebojsa Zelenovic, NS and SDS of Boris Tadic, as well as that non-party personalities would be on such a list.

Five columns, but not a list

Some of the parties mentioned here have already formalized cooperation. The SAA and the PZP are already part of the same parliamentary group in the Belgrade Assembly, and in most political activities they act jointly with the Democratic Party.

For now, the New Party and the Office for Local and Innovative Policies (KLIP), founded by Marko Bastać, former president of the municipality of Stari grad, have official cooperation.

Boris Tadic

This group could be part of a column that will include Boris Tadic’s Social Democratic Party (SDS), with which Nova is cooperating at several levels – around the platform on election conditions in negotiations before higher-level MEPs, but also at the local level, in to the assembly of the Belgrade municipality of Vracar, where SDS and Nova form a committee group.

Although a joint appearance at the Belgrade elections seems to be a logical extension of this cooperation, so far there have been no official announcements of that type.

The No Drowning Belgrade Initiative, on the other hand, although seen as part of a broader opposition column proposed by Djilas, has so far in its deliberations to run in the Belgrade elections seem to be planning to run independently, possibly associated with some smaller local groups and movements. they do not rule out the possibility of joining one of the coalitions after the elections.

Therefore, it seems that they could form another independent column.

On a broader level, they had close cooperation with Nebojsa Zelenovic, especially through the green policy platform “Action” launched by Zelenovic, supported by the NDBG as well as more than 20 local organizations and movements.

Dobrica Veselinović

One of the organizations that cooperate with Zelenović and Let’s Not Drown Belgrade in this way is the citizens’ association “Srce grada”, which has a committee group in the municipality of Stari Grad, led by Đorđe Miketić.

Going to the Belgrade elections together would be a logical continuation of this cooperation, although there have been no official announcements for such a thing yet.

And Yellow in a separate column

A special column in Belgrade could be led by environmental activist Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta from the movement “Let’s Defend the Rivers of Stara Planina”, who announced the formation of a political movement at the end of June with which he will run in the Belgrade elections.

There is an open possibility for Ćuti, or some other larger group, to join other groups of citizens, such as the political platform “Solidarity”, whose representatives recently spoke at a tribune with members of ORSP, NDBG and Zelenović’s platform “Akcija” about the need to unite the opposition.

If the People’s Party decides to go to the Belgrade elections, it will most likely form a separate column, possibly with the support of smaller associations of citizens and movements such as the Free Serbia Movement, with which it is still cooperating.

Opportunities for cooperation between the People’s Party and some other, larger columns in the opposition, such as the one made up of their partners from the former SZS or the United Opposition of Serbia, would not be possible, as People’s Party officials have repeatedly pointed out. the column found some of the movements that had not boycotted the previous elections.

Most of the previously mentioned organizations conditioned their participation in Belgrade, and all other levels of elections, with the outcome of the dialogue between the government and the opposition on the election conditions. Only after the end of the dialogue will it be possible to talk more about possible joint appearances and lists.

One of the few among the opposition that announced the start of the campaign for the elections in Belgrade in early July, is the coalition “NADA” gathered around the Democratic Party of Serbia (DSS) and the Movement for the Reconstruction of the Kingdom of Serbia (POKS).

Announcing the start of the campaign, DSS President Milos Jovanovic and POKS presidency member Dusan Radosavljevic said they would “visit all parts of the capital”, and after that pre-election activities will continue throughout Serbia “by entering every place”.

Also, the candidacy of Milos Jovanovic for the president of Serbia in front of this coalition was announced.

Former Kosovo Consul in the US, Teuta Saqatqija, said that the Kurti Government should cooperate closely with the opposition for the dialogue process for Kosovo to be successful in the end.

“The reports that need to be made should be regular in the Assembly of Kosovo and there should be a coordination with the opposition as the decision of the opposition would strengthen the Prime Minister Kurti. The final agreement and the position of Kosovo is not only the interest of one party, but it belongs to Kosovo. “And I believe that all parties are interested in ending this dialogue so that Kosovo remains with what it is as a territory and gains recognition from the EU, as well as paving the way for NATO.”

Sahatiqja said that the LDK will be a supporter of the process where Kosovo is the beneficiary, but it will do so in the Assembly and not as a participant in the dialogue delegation.

“LDK will be constructive, will give its contribution to the Assembly, but will not be part of the delegations. LDK is pro and believes that Kosovo should benefit and maintain its unitary character and its contribution will be given to the maximum in the Assembly of Kosovo “.

She also commented on the last meeting of Prime Minister Kurti with President Vuiqi. In Brussels, saying that she hopes to serve Kosovo for the better.

“I hope that his presentation and the points I put forward have a background and are well thought out, because in addition to pleasing us as Kosovo with those points, I think that these points will have to be in order to strengthen the dialogue. “This second meeting in fact did not give any hope for the future, but I hope that behind this there was a deeper thought and which in the future will give it more power.”

Sahatqija in Info Magazine called Vuiqiiq’s reaction after the meeting as acting, while he says that he does this constantly.

“Vucic is a wonderful artist in how he presents himself to the EU and the international community. He appears as a person who worries about Serbia and Kosovo Serbs and will show that he is scared, that he worries about Serbia and Kosovo Serbs. In fact it has nothing to do with it. While serving in New York I saw his extremely strong coordination with (Ivica) Dacic. “While Vucic is presented as highly cooperative with the international community, at the same time Dacic communicates with Russia in a very coordinated way to show the EU that it has other partners.”

Opposition parties in Kosovo have opposed the decision of the President of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani to dismiss Valdete Daka from the position of chairwoman of the Central Election Commission, and although they say that the decision was unconstitutional, no one has yet sent this decision to the Constitutional Court. as expected.

The Democratic League of Kosovo is not giving the signatures for sending this decision to the Constitutional Court, saying that such a thing belongs to the People’s Advocate.

The Democratic Party of Kosovo in the collection of signatures so far has found support only in the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, while they have not yet managed to collect enough signatures for this issue to be evaluated by the Constitution.

Shkëmb Manaj from the Democratic League of Kosovo, said that they estimate that by sending the decision of the President to the Constitutional Court it is better to deal with the People’s Advocate.

Manaj said that “We assess that it is good that this issue is raised by the People’s Advocate and not by the opposition parties so that there is no position-opposition fight for the post of CEC chairman.”

“The goal is not to have public pressure on the Constitutional Court of Kosovo, so that the Constitutional Court does not address this issue of position and opposition, it is in the competence of the People’s Advocate.

We expect the People’s Advocate to perform his duty and submit the appeal to the Constitutional Court.

The request is, we are waiting for the reaction of the People’s Advocate, the request has been public. ”, Manaj.

The Telegraph has tried to get a statement from the Office of the People’s Advocate regarding this issue, but so far has not received a response.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party of Kosovo has started collecting signatures to send this decision to the Constitutional Court.

PDK MP, Blerta Deliu-Kodra has confirmed that the collection of signatures has begun, as she did not disclose how many signatures have been collected so far.

Meanwhile, Lëvizja Vetëvendosje emphasizes that the action of President Osmani has been in accordance with the constitutional provisions and legal norms.

Acting Head of the Parliamentary Group of LVV, Mimoza Kusari-Lila said that the decision of President Osmani was in accordance with constitutional provisions and legal norms.

“Everything is in accordance with constitutional provisions and legal norms.

“Everyone is free to send to other bodies for interpretation of the decisions of different instances”, she said after one of the meetings of the Presidency of the Assembly. / Telegraphy /

The deputy of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Hajdar Beqa, said that they will invite the Prime Minister Albin Kurti in an interpellation, about his visit to France.

According to Beqa, Kurti’s approach to dialogue with Serbia is not serious, Telegrafi reports.

“Kurti’s style in the talks was not serious, he did not say anything concrete, except ‘I said, he told me’. I think he did not represent the Republic of Kosovo with dignity.

The opposition will call on him in the following days in the interpellation to report.

“It is in the country’s interest to close the issue with Serbia, with mutual recognition, and I believe that the United States of America must be involved in these talks,” Beqa told rtv 21.

Otherwise, on Wednesday the Prime Minister of the country, Albin Kurti was on an official visit to France, where he met with the French President, Emmanuel Macron.

Kurti reiterated that Serbia should recognize Kosovo’s independence, adding that the Government of Kosovo will contribute with all opportunities in the region, with good neighborly relations, and towards the perspective and European integration.

“Kosovo’s independence, territorial integrity and sovereignty will not be negotiated.

We can discuss with Serbia the status of our relations and not the status of Kosovo.

The decision of the ICJ has removed any dilemma for the legality of Kosovo’s Independence “, stated Kurti.

During his visit to Paris, Kurti once again demanded visa liberalization for Kosovo, saying it was unfair not to lift visas when 95 criteria were met. / Telegraphy /
