The Acting President of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, met today with the leaders of political entities that responded to her invitation for consultations.
Acting President Haxhiu thanked them for their participation and their willingness to seek together a solution to the political situation.
“Positions are known and political differences exist. But precisely when differences are great, dialogue becomes a necessity,” said Acting President Haxhiu.
She further said that for the President, we need a broader agreement than what is required for the formation of other institutions.
“We all know this and we have neither reason nor time to postpone until the last day what, in the end, we must sit down and agree upon. The fact that the country does not need new elections and that all parties have a responsibility to contribute to an agreement for a consensual President was reiterated at the meeting. This responsibility cannot be delegated or avoided,” said Acting President Haxhiu.
According to her, refusing or boycotting meetings is not a path to agreement.
“Disagreement is legitimate, but avoiding dialogue does not solve anything. If someone believes that there is another path, then they must clearly explain where that path leads and what solution it offers for the country,” said Acting President Haxhiu.
She further added that we cannot expect to agree before sitting down to talk. If that were the case, according to her, dialogue would have no meaning.
“The responsibility for the solution is shared, therefore we need accountability, dialogue and an agreement that serves the common interest,” said Acting President Haxhiu.
