Kurti and Mustafa: Eight meetings failed, ninth meeting uncertain

Meetings between the leader of Vetvendosje Movement and the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo, Albin Kurti and the leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) Isa Mustafa, ended without results in forming a new government, the Pristina-based portal "Ekonomija online" writes.
