Kosovo's Assembly remains in a state of political deadlock, with sessions repeatedly postponed due to ongoing disagreements over the election of Deputy Speakers. Negotiations between parties, including Vetëvendosje (VV), PDK, and LDK, are proving complex, with Speaker Albulena Haxhiu involved in the power struggles. Prime Minister Albin Kurti is engaging in discussions to find a resolution, including a meeting invitation to Albin Hamza.
Meanwhile, a 'March for Freedom' is being held in Pristina today to express solidarity with former Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) leaders currently facing trial in The Hague, including Hashim Thaçi, Kadri Veseli, Rexhep Selimi, and Jakup Krasniqi. The trial of these figures is reportedly nearing its conclusion. In a separate legal development, the Court of Appeals has acquitted the accused in the 'Veterans' case.
On a positive note, the Mayor of Pristina, Përparim Rama, has announced free urban transport and parking for participants of the 'March for Freedom', aiming to welcome all attendees. Mayor Rama also met with a Saudi prince, highlighting Pristina's potential for business and large-scale projects.
