(ANSA) - PRISTINA, 07 LUG - In Kosovo, yet another attempt—the 43rd—to elect the president of the new parliament formed after the February 9 election failed today. The standoff between government and opposition continues, with the chamber once again rejecting the majority party Vetëvendosje (Self-Determination, nationalist left) proposal for a secret ballot. The proposal followed six consecutive defeats for the government's candidate, Albulena Haxhiu, who has not reached the 61-vote threshold required for election. Prime Minister and Vetëvendosje leader Albin Kurti has so far refused calls to nominate another candidate. On June 26, Kosovo's Constitutional Court intervened in the deadlock, which had been ongoing since April 15, when the new parliament held its inaugural session, setting a 30-day deadline to elect the Assembly president. A meeting that President Vjosa Osmani recently held with party leaders to broker an agreement appears to have produced no concrete results. Another attempt to elect the parliamentary president is scheduled for July 9. Until the new parliament is fully constituted, a new government cannot be formed, and fresh elections cannot be ruled out. (ANSA).
