Kosovo: speaker, Serbian List to support PAN candidate

Parliament has twice failed to vote

09 August, 11:07
(ANSA) - TRIESTE - Srpska Lista (Serbian List), the main coalition representing the Serb community in Kosovo with its 9 MPs, said that it will back the candidate for speaker proposed by the PAN coalition, led by the Democratic Party of Kosovo at the constitutive session of the parliament on Thursday. Kosovo's parliament has twice failed to vote for a new speaker. "We are insisting that this process is finished as soon as possible, so that we can start solving the problems that citizens are facing", the spokesman for Srpska Lista, Igor Simic, said.

PAN is a coalition made up of the PDK, the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, AAK and the Initiative for Kosovo, NISMA, and came first with 39 seats at the June 11 elections. PAN needs to make sure it has a majority: at least 61 out of a total of 120 MPs.

Only after parliament is constituted can the president propose a candidate for prime minister. (ANSA).
