The majority necessary to pick the president is in their hands. In this case, the AAK doesn\u2019t have the possibility to create a majority with two-thirds of the parliament. What is left to us, is an opposition role that will serve our country\u2026 our duty isn\u2019t that of supporting the concentration of power in one pair of hands. In this case, Kurti\u2019s hands. The people gave him the vote, the majority needed to create a government, they didn\u2019t give him two-thirds, necessary to pick the president. \u00a0It is up to them and their responsibility how they achieve two-thirds of the vote because the quorum is the vote. The AKK will be taking its own decisions in its own headquarters regarding how we will be acting in any given case in the future,\u201d said Haradinaj.<\/p>\n<p>Haradinaj said that the winners of these elections will have to implement the results of February 14<sup>th<\/sup>, and not take the country towards reelections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore we were both part of the opposition, Kurti and I. I told him that we won\u2019t use the old way of opposition-making, that we both used to carry out because I have gotten a bit older now. I can\u2019t anymore, with those same methods. But we will be an opposition that aims to create a functioning democracy between the majority-opposition\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the candidate for PM from LVV, Albin Kurti and the candidate for president, Vjosa Osmani have also held meetings with the leader of PDK, Enver Hoxhaj.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/03\/14\/kosovo-officially-opens-its-embassy-in-jerusalem\">Kosovo officially opens its Embassy in Jerusalem<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/03\/03\/kurti-avoided-jerusalem-here-is-what-he-wrote-erdogan-and-netanyahu\">Kurti &#8216;avoids&#8217; Jerusalem, here is what he wrote Erdogan and Netanyahu<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/03\/02\/kurti-to-turkish-ambassador-the-jerusalem-embassy-issue-will-be-contemplated\">Kurti to Turkish Ambassador: The Jerusalem Embassy issue will be contemplated<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leader of the Alliance on the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj has given up on the ambition to be elected president of Kosovo.
