Former Alliance leader and Member of Parliament, Ramush Haradinaj, has publicly proposed Hashim Thaçi for the role of president, suggesting that extending Thaçi’s current term would be an honor for the nation. Haradinaj addressed the process, noting that Thaçi’s previous mandate had been removed through a legal intervention. According to Haradinaj, the decision to renew the presidential mandate should be viewed as a national commitment rather than one tied to specific political parties or affiliations.
He stated that extending the term would serve as a countermeasure against adversaries of Kosovo. “If the Assembly’s solution, meaning the regime of the Assembly, is an honor for this legislature, then any legislature that extends the mandate of President Thaçi is also an honor,” Haradinaj remarked, as reported by Telegrafi. While advocating for Thaçi, Haradinaj also clarified that his support for the extension does not preclude other candidates.
He indicated that there remain alternative options available for the presidency. The discussion centers on the constitutional process for selecting the nation’s leader and the political weight attached to restoring the sitting president’s authority. Haradinaj’s statement suggests a political calculus where national unity and perceived security interests are prioritized in determining the future leadership of the country.
