British Embassy in Pristina welcomed Kosovo President Hashim Thaci’s appointment of Albin Kurti as candidate for Prime Minister, to form a new government.

“Kosovo voters have waited three and a half months for this moment. Their hope and desire for change, expressed so clearly on 6 October, deserve to be respected,” the British Embassy said in a statement. “Kosovo’s elected politicians and their parties now need to show courage and creativity in forming a government that reflects the wishes of the electorate. We call for rapid progress in negotiations, in a spirit of tolerance and partnership,” the British Embassy said.

Kosovo president Hashim Thaci has on Monday mandated Albin Kurti, the leader of Vetevendosje, to form a government. According to the constitution, the prime minister designate has 15 days to put together a government. /GazetaExpress/
