PRISHTINA, Aug 26 /ATA/ – Kosovo’s acting Foreign Minister Glauk Konjufca said on Wednesday that the ruling Vetevendosje (Self-Determination) movement (LVV) had names ready for the country’s next president, but that they could not yet be made public.
Konjufca said disclosing the candidates at this stage could harm negotiations with the opposition Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK).
“Vetevendosje is ready. Prime Minister Kurti is ready. We have the names, but I cannot share them with you, as that would undermine the negotiating process,” he said.
He added that the LDK was also expected to be ready soon for talks, after its leader Lumir Abdixhiku said last week that the two sides would meet this week.
Konjufca said LVV leader Albin Kurti was ready to discuss the presidential election with Abdixhiku and expressed optimism that a meeting between the two could bring the parties closer to an agreement.
He said the talks were expected to focus on specific candidates and that one of the names discussed could become Kosovo’s next president.
