Presidentja e Kosovës, Vjosa Osmani, e ka thënë hapur se synon edhe një mandat në krye të shtetit. Por, disponimin e njëjtë nuk duket se e kanë ata që duhet t’ia japin votën.
Momentalisht, Kosova nuk e ka një legjislaturë të re në Kuvend, ndonëse Komisioni Qendror i Zgjedhjeve (KQZ) i ka shpallur rezultatet përfundimtare dhe pritet t’i certifikojë ato shpejt.
Ndërkohë, numërimi mbrapsht ka nisur: Deputetët duhet ta votojnë deri më 4 mars emrin e presidentit për mandatin e ri, në të kundërtën vendi i rrezikon edhe një palë zgjedhje të parakohshme.
Çfarë thonë partitë?
Për Lëvizjen Vetëvendosje (LVV), partinë që ka fituar mbi 51 për qind të votave në parlamentaret e parakohshme të 28 dhjetorit, zgjedhja e presidentit përbën prioritetin e katërt.
Kreu i saj, Albin Kurti, njëherësh kryeministër në detyrë i Kosovës, e ka pranuar se ka biseduar me Osmanin në këtë drejtim, por, sipas tij, muaji shkurt e vërteton gatishmërinë dhe interesimin e opozitës për të nisur një kapitull të ri me pushtetin.
Për Dritëro Arifin, njohës i çështjeve politike, LVV-ja me qëllim nuk është deklaruar me “po ose jo të madhe” për Osmanin. Sipas tij, Kurti nuk dëshiron të negociojë për Osmanin, për të cilën besimi, pavarësisht se nga fundi i mandatit kanë pasur bashkëpunim, nuk është sikurse më 2021.
“E ka lënë me qëllim që të nënkuptohet që janë të mundshme të dyja variantet. LVV-ja po luan me skenarin e presionit të madh, që të afrohet sa më shumë data e 4 marsit, dhe të ketë presion më të madh te opozita, që në rastin më të keq të pranohet cilido kandidat apo kandidate që propozohet, vetëm të mos shkohet në zgjedhje të reja”, thotë Arifi për Radion Evropa e Lirë.
As ish-partitë opozitare nuk duket se e kanë ndarë mendjen.
Kreu i Partisë Demokratike të Kosovës (PDK), Bedri Hamza, ka thënë se fillimisht duhet të konstituohet Kuvendi dhe më pas të gjendet një formulë.
Udhëheqësi i Lidhjes Demokratike të Kosovës (LDK), Lumir Abdixhiku, ka pohuar së voni se është i gatshëm të flasë me gjithë spektrin politik për t’i dhënë zgjidhje kësaj çështjeje. Sipas tij, figura në pozitën e presidentit duhet të përfaqësojë “unitetin kombëtar” të Kosovës.
“Na duhet komunikim publik brenda spektrit politik. Kjo është shumë e natyrshme. Kur flasim për marrëveshje politike, nuk e kemi fjalën për pazare politike, e kemi fjalën që duhet ulur partitë që t’i bëjnë numrat për një president të ardhshëm të Republikës së Kosovës”, ka thënë Abdixhiku.
Partia e tij, LDK-ja, ka qenë ajo që ia ka bërë kuorumin Osmanit më 2021.
Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani in her first speech after winning the presidency on April 4, 2021.
The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo appears to have its own candidate. Pal Lekaj from this party said days ago that the party's leader, Ramush Haradinaj, could be a candidate.
"I think it is the right time for the opposition to unify and decide on a consensual candidate, and in this case why not Mr. Haradinaj ," said Lekaj, adding that there are also discussions with the leaders of PDK and LDK in this regard.
Arifi believes that these parties are not in a very favorable position, due to the risk of new elections, and therefore may even give up - if not the party as a whole, there may be MPs who at least stay in the hall.
As for the non-majority minorities, three of their representatives - Emilija Rexhepi, Veton Berisha and Erxhan Galushi - said days ago that they would vote for the candidate proposed by the majority, mentioning that they also have votes for Osmani.
How is the president of Kosovo elected?
To move a proposal forward, at least 30 signatures of MPs must be obtained.
A candidate must secure two-thirds of the votes of the deputies in the 120-seat Assembly, while a quorum is reached with 80 deputies.
If a candidate does not secure 80 votes in the first two rounds, then in the third round of voting, it is enough to have 61.
What happens if the president is not elected?
This time, beyond party calculations, failure to respect the deadlines would lead the state to elections and risk paralyzing the entire system. The state would be left without a budget and consequently no funds could be allocated for another electoral process.
Not to mention the lack of public sector salaries and a host of other complications. Another disaster for the state would be if the international agreements for the European Union Growth Plan and those with the World Bank were not ratified.
Arifi believes that Kosovo can only face new elections if it goes into "total collective political madness."
"Otherwise, if there is little rationality, the opposition parties should make a decision on what the political scene will look like with the president, whoever the LVV proposes. Normally, it would be good to have an agreement with the LVV, so that there would be a more balancing power, but it is noticeable that the party [the LVV] is not ready to share this position . "
President Osmani has been criticized several times during her mandate for siding with the Vetëvendosje Movement.
In an interview with Radio Free Europe at the end of December, she said that if she does not win another mandate, then she will return to political engagement, without indicating which party. /REL
