Konjufca on Presidential Issue: We Will Go to Elections if That Is the Opposition’s Will

Kosovo’s First Deputy Prime Minister and at the same time Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Glauk Konjufca, said that the issue of electing the country’s new president depends on the will of the opposition parties.

“We will go to new elections if this is the will of the opposition — there is nothing else we can do,” he told the media on April 15.

Speaking about potential proposals that could come from the opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo, Konjufca said that within that party there are “unacceptable names” for Vetëvendosje (LVV), and if such names are proposed, according to him, the opposition would then blame the ruling party for the failure to elect the president.

Members of the Kosovo Assembly have until April 28 to elect the president; otherwise, the country will head to elections.

The leader of LVV and Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, recently held a meeting with Lumir Abdixhiku, the leader of the opposition party Lidhja Demokratike e Kosovës, but the meeting ended without any agreement on the president.
