The acting Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, harshly criticized the opposition during his last speech in the Kosovo Assembly, a few minutes before the dissolution of this institution, in the session held on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday.
He said that the minority MPs are seeking elections, but according to him, they do not want responsibility or power.
"Here we are in a session that is boycotted by the opposition, only four months after the elections they want elections again, they are aware that elections are not a solution, they do not want responsibility, they do not want power, but they want us not to have this either, except that they do not decide on this, they decide on the people of Kosovo who have increasingly supported us in accordance with the realization of our commitments," he said.
Kurti further emphasized that support for the Vetëvendosje Movement is growing, adding that according to him, the opposition's behavior is anti-institutional.
"Support for us only as long as democracy grows, it also needs an institution, not just the will of the citizens, not just support, just support for certain politicians and parties, and here is the non-state and anti-institutional behavior of the current opposition, they cannot undo the will of the people, but they do not respect it and try to prevent this will from taking institutional form," he declared.
According to him, the four opposition parties are aiming to blackmail the parliamentary majority.
"They had no demands for themselves, they were angry with us, they were angry with us, but these are not problems that I can cure. What the people did not give them, we cannot give them, in fact, you do not ask for anything, they asked that the people not give us what had already happened - massive support, a record victory for us, and today we are here, there are 9 political parties present. You have four parties outside: PDK, LDK, AAK, Serbian List. We are the majority in the assembly and they want to blackmail us," he declared.
Kurti also said that the country needs a new opposition, describing the current one as weak and declining.
"To have a new president, Kosovo must have a new opposition. The opposition is old. This opposition may bring some faces, but its craft and character are old. That's why they are in free fall. They are constantly falling in electoral cycles. The more elections are held, the lower they are going. And they are not learning any lessons. They would be funny if they were not poor. This would be a beautiful comedy if it weren't for all this political misery, but political misery is not an insurmountable problem. What makes it inexcusable and insurmountable are those tens and tens of millions of euros," he said.
