Kurti does not say whether he will meet Hamza: “We will speak from the Assembly and the Government on these issues”

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti gave no answer on whether there will be new meetings today on the issue of electing the president, or whether an Assembly session is expected to be called, as KosovaPress reports.

“We will speak from the Assembly and the Government on these issues,” he told the media briefly, as KosovaPress reports.

The statement comes on the very last day of the constitutional deadline: according to the Constitutional Court’s ruling, the new president must be elected by today, 6 October — otherwise the Assembly is dissolved and the country goes to new elections within 45 days.

Last night’s meeting between Kurti and PDK leader Bedri Hamza, meanwhile, ended without an agreement. The PDK is conditioning its vote for the president on the passage of the amendments to the Law on the Specialist Chambers.
