A lawmaker from Kosovo’s ruling Vetëvendosje (Self-Determination) party said on Tuesday that the country needs a coalition government led by Albanian-majority parties, arguing that the political process should not be left in the hands of non-majority communities.
Faton Peci told state broadcaster RTK that a joint solution must be found for forming new institutions, stressing that the fate of the new legislature should not depend on “the whims” of minority groups.
“Kosovo needs a government formed by a majority-Albanian coalition. We do not have the luxury of leaving Kosovo’s fate to the caprices of certain minority communities — I’m referring to the Bosniak community and others,” Peci said.
Peci blamed opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK), the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), and the Serb List, for the political deadlock.
“The situation was made more difficult by the opposition parties. Their rush to simply vote against proposals, rather than seeking consensus, created this impasse,” he said.
He added that the ruling party had not anticipated a scenario in which the parliamentary session would fail to verify MPs’ mandates due to lack of quorum. “Some MPs were not in the chamber at the time — they were either in the corridors or the cafeteria,” he noted.
Peci emphasized that those involved in politics must prioritize the national interest. “Anyone involved in politics must be guided by love for the country.
