Democratic Party of Kosovo

Amid continuing uncertainties over the date of national elections in Kosovo, Prime Minister Hashim Thaci has proposed June 8 as a potential option.

He made his proposal on Friday to the President, Atifete Jahjaga, at a meeting held at the presidency building in Pristina.

Isa Mustafa, head of the opposition LDK, has accused Prime Minister Thaci of “using public and state resources to campaign. This is illegal," he said.

"He is putting the stability of the country at risk; similar actions by other politicians have led Greece, for example, into an economic crisis,” he said.

Kosovo's opposition AAK party says it plans to submit a no-confidence motion to parliament on the government of Hashim Thaci “as soon as possible”.

Ardian Gjini, from the AAK, said the motion will be put forward once the party ensures it will be signed by 61 of the 120 lawmakers - the number needed to dissolve the government.
