The Vetëvendosje Movement has proposed the party's vice-chairman, Glauk Konjufca, as the candidate for prime minister of Kosovo.
"I take Glauk's place, and he takes mine, as we agreed together," said LVV leader Albin Kurti during the party's General Council meeting.
He referred to the post of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, where Konjufca was appointed in the executive proposed by Kurti on October 26 – but which did not receive the support of the 61 deputies of the Kosovo Assembly.
Kurti also said that in this way, two elections could be avoided and the Assembly could approve the budget for 2026. According to him, if the country goes to elections in December without a budget, the state would be at risk.
"The appointment of a second prime minister in these circumstances is a necessity. Let the opposition vote for a government led by Glauku," so that the state budget can be processed by a fully-fledged government, Kurti said.
This LVV meeting comes just one day before President Vjosa Osmani's 10-day deadline to give someone the mandate to form the new Government of Kosovo or to announce new elections expires.
The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku, described the LVV meeting as a "theatrical performance", describing him as a "mandate without numbers, without majority and without democratic legitimacy".
"I want to believe that the President of the Republic will respect the will of the Albanian majority, before the propaganda meetings of parties with full mandates but without a parliamentary majority," he wrote on Facebook.
Osmani met with representatives of political parties on October 31 to discuss the issue of the mandate holder and the elections.
After the meeting, the Democratic League of Kosovo, the Democratic Party of Kosovo, and the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo argued that there is no majority and that elections seem to be an option. Meanwhile, Kurti did not speak to the media.
After the meeting, Osmani said that Kurti had requested a meeting before November 5, when the 10-day period ends, to see if a majority can be formed.
Osmani said that the Constitution obliges her to do her best to avoid elections. Kurti was mandated on October 11 by Osmani to form the new executive.
His party won the February 9 elections, but did not secure enough seats in the Assembly that would allow it to form a government without cooperation with other parties.
In the February 9 elections, PDK won 24 seats, LDK 20, AAK five, and the Social Democratic Initiative, which competed in the elections on a joint list with AAK, has three deputies.
The Serbian List has nine of the ten seats guaranteed for the Serbian minority, Nenad Rašić's party has one, and ten other seats have been won by representatives of other minorities.
