Part of the text of the article published by "Kosova-sot.info":
Kosovo will go to elections, they will be held on this date
Kosovar political scientist and analyst Ramush Tahiri says that the issue of the President will be the main reason why the country will go to elections, which, according to him, will be held on February 28.
Tahiri says that after the elections there will not be a quorum of 80 deputies, when the president would be voted for.
"The main reason that Kosovo will go to elections is the impossibility of electing the President of the Republic because there is no concession for 80 deputies, which is two-thirds, to be in session to form a quorum when the meeting is held. That is, 80 cannot be made, 61 to be elected can be made but 80 not. I do not believe that even after the elections that I expect to be held on February 28, there will be a quorum of 80 deputies," said Tahiri.
