Solution, election or blockade for the president?

Although Prime Minister Kurti had described this week as a week of meetings with political party leaders on the issue of the president, apart from the meeting with the leader of the LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, held on Monday, no other meetings are expected. LVV and PDK have not confirmed whether or when the Kurti-Hamza meeting will take place.

Former Prime Minister Isa Mustafa said that if the parties are interested in finding a solution, they should agree on a personality without political interests. Otherwise, as Mustafa estimates, the parties should also declare for elections.

"If we want a solution, or if we are ready both as a position and as an opposition to make the president, then there must be room for agreement. That is, the position and the opposition must sit down, agree together on a personality, let's not simplify it, on a personality who would carry out this job without political motives. If the political parties think they have an interest in entering the elections once again, or the ruling party grows more, or the opposition uses this opportunity and changes the numbers, then we will enter the elections. I do not see major changes, but I cannot speak now about the political mood of the political parties," said Mustafa.

Political analyst Lutfi Bilalli believes that negotiations between political parties could bring progress in reaching a political agreement on the election of the president. Although there is little convergence of positions among party leaders on such a matter, Bilalli says that they should also take into account the interests of citizens whose lives are becoming increasingly difficult day by day.

"From the VV-LDK talks, the contacts that Kurti had with Abdixhiku gave us reason to understand that there will be a solution very soon. I think that a general consensus must be reached, even though we have entered a phase where this is an incomprehensible topic for the public. Consensus must be reached for the interests of the citizens," Bilalli said, for RTV 21, transmits Periscopes

Meanwhile, analyst Blerim Canaj estimates that the lack of a political agreement for the election of the new president is the result of the distrust that political parties, especially the leaders of the opposition parties, have towards Kurti. According to him, the delay in finding a solution is a waste of time, since none of the political parties has 80 votes for the election of the president and the responsibility, as he said, belongs to LVV.

"What seems like polarization, on the one hand, is an attempt to remove responsibility, on the other hand, fear and distrust in relation to Mr. Kurti because of what has happened in recent years. We all know that we are in a situation where 80 votes are needed to elect the president, which no party has. This requires agreements and compromises beyond who has less or more. Everything is now in the hands of LVV as the largest political force in the country," said Canaj.

In the absence of a political agreement, rumors have increased that the only solution to overcome the crisis over the election of the president is extraordinary elections. Analysts Lutfi Bilalli and Blerim Canaj have different views on whether elections are a solution.

"It seems to me that this is being done on purpose. I do not believe that going to the elections would solve the problem of reaching 80 MPs to elect the president. There could be repeated crises," Bilalli declared.

"If the LVV is willing to accept negotiations with other parties and accept a candidate who creates balance, then we will have the presidential issue resolved. Otherwise, we could easily have elections and they come as a result of Mr. Kurti's unwillingness to sit down with other parties to sincerely seek a solution. It also depends on the courage of political parties to compromise with Kurti and rebuild bridges of trust. But, nothing more is needed than to have elections," Canaj declared.

The LVV has not yet given up on its two presidential candidacies, Glauk Konjufca and Fatmire Kollçaku. While the opposition parties have declared that they do not have votes for any party candidate.Periscopes/
