The leader of the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), Lumir Abdixhiku, announced that in the meeting with the leader of the Self-Determination Movement (LVV), Albin Kurti, institutional stability and the need to avoid new elections were discussed.

After the meeting, Abdixhiku said that the parties have agreed that the dialogue will continue in the coming days.

"We talked about institutional stability and the necessary avoidance of elections. At this stage we agreed to continue the talks," he declared.

According to the LDK leader, the discussions are focused on principles and not on specific names.

"We talked about principles and, for the LDK, these principles require democratic balance in the country. All parties must contribute to this balance. We have not managed to talk about specific names," said Abdixhiku.

He described the meeting as a positive step, emphasizing that it was not possible to address all topics in a single meeting.

"In this meeting it was impossible to talk about all the topics, but it was a good step to continue the talks. We have 30 days to constitute the Assembly and 60 days to elect the president. It is important that we are talking before unilateral steps are taken. This gives hope," he said.

Abdixhiku added that, although a consensus on principles has not yet been reached, talks between the parties will continue.

"We have not yet reached a consensus on the principles, but we are talking," declared the LDK leader. / Telegraph /

The leader of the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti, has stated that it is still too early to assess whether the meeting held with the leader of the LDK, Lumir Abdixhiku, and President Vjosa Osmani was successful or not.

After the meeting, Kurti said that the talks have included all the main political topics, but that no concrete conclusions have yet been reached.

"We still have four weeks until the start of the constitutive session. There is no topic that we have not discussed, but we still do not have any conclusions to share with you," he said.

Kurti said he remains optimistic about the progress of the dialogue between political entities.

"I am optimistic about the rationality that is prevailing from these meetings. It is an undertaking that requires trust and time for results. We also have the confidentiality of these conversations. We have discussed the government and the Assembly, but also the president, while the focus has been on current political developments," he stated.

The leader of the LVV stressed that his party's goal is to reach a political agreement that would avoid holding new elections.

"We are interested in agreements so that we don't have elections. The common goal is to avoid elections. We aim for political agreements, as we are political entities," Kurti said.

Investors in a cryptocurrency company linked to the Trump family have lost hundreds of millions of dollars, while one of US President Donald Trump's sons has suffered a sharp drop in the value of his shares.

It is about the company World Liberty Financial, a cryptocurrency project founded by the Trump family.

According to reports, investors have lost about $600 million, as the value of shares and digital assets related to the company has fallen significantly, the media writes.

The project was strongly promoted by the Trump family, while Donald Trump Jr. and his brother Eric Trump have publicly supported the expansion of the business into the cryptocurrency sector.

However, the decline in market value has hit investors who had purchased shares or tokens related to the project.

According to published analyses, companies related to cryptocurrencies have brought large revenues to the Trump family, but at the same time have caused large losses for some investors after the price drop.

Critics have also raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, arguing that the involvement of a presidential family in such businesses raises questions about the influence between politics and private interests. The White House has denied these allegations. /Telegraph/

"Little Albania" has been included in the official map of immigrant enclaves in New York, published by the city hall, ranking among the various communities that have left their mark on the cultural history of the American metropolis.

The map shows 30 areas identified as immigrant communities in the five boroughs of New York. Among them is "Little Albania," located in the Bronx, near the famous Arthur Avenue area, where a significant Albanian community has lived for decades.

However, the publication of the document has caused public debate, as the list is missing "Little Italy", one of the most symbolic neighborhoods of Italian immigration in the United States and an important part of New York's historical heritage.

Representatives of the Italian-American community, local politicians and leaders of cultural institutions have reacted to this exclusion, calling it a serious mistake, writes the New York Post.

According to them, the contribution of Italian immigrants has been fundamental to the development of the city and cannot be overlooked in a map that aims to reflect the history of immigrant communities.

Despite the controversy, "Little Albania" has been officially included on this map, along with other well-known areas such as Koreatown, Little Ukraine, Little Guyana, Little Pakistan, Little Yemen, and Chinatown.

The City of New York has announced that the purpose of the map is to document neighborhoods that have been formed and identified over the years by various immigrant communities.

However, the recent debate has opened discussions on how these areas were selected and on the fair representation of the city's cultural heritage. /Telegraph/

Turkey is close to reaching an agreement with the United States under which the Russian S-400 air defense system will be sold to a Gulf state, paving the way for Ankara's return to the American F-35 fighter jet program.

According to the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, Ankara could announce the decision as early as today. The move would be part of efforts to convince the United States to lift sanctions imposed on Turkey over its purchase of the Russian S-400 system in 2019.

The purchase of the S-400 led to Turkey's exclusion from the F-35 program and the imposition of US sanctions in 2020, after Washington assessed that the Russian system posed a risk to the safety of the F-35 aircraft technology.

US President Donald Trump has expressed his willingness to lift sanctions and consider Turkey's return to the F-35 program after meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but US law still prohibits the sale of these aircraft as long as Ankara possesses the S-400 system.

Therefore, transferring the system to a third country is seen as the most likely solution, writes Reuters .

On the other hand, the Kremlin confirmed that it is in contact with Turkish authorities on the S-400 issue. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described this as an "extremely sensitive" issue, stressing that dialogue between Moscow and Ankara will continue. /Telegraph/

The statement comes after a new escalation of tensions between the US and Iran, following attacks and counterattacks that affected military targets and maritime traffic in the Persian Gulf region.

Trump had earlier declared that the ceasefire was "done," increasing uncertainty about the future of the conflict and fueling concerns about stability in the Middle East.

However, he has left open the possibility of a negotiated solution, while the parties still remain far from a full agreement. /Telegraph/

The Palestinian Authority has announced that legislative elections will be held in November, marking the first major electoral process in the Palestinian territories in about 20 years.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has issued a decree to hold the elections, which are set for November 28. This will be the first parliamentary vote since 2006, after previously scheduled elections were postponed.

The decision comes at a difficult political period for the Palestinians, divided for years between the Palestinian Authority, which controls parts of the West Bank, and Hamas, which has controlled the Gaza Strip, writes aljazeera .

The elections are seen as an attempt to renew the political legitimacy of Palestinian institutions and respond to international demands for reform. However, major questions remain about how the process will unfold, especially in Gaza, which has been badly damaged by the war.

The Palestinian authorities face numerous challenges, including organizing voting in all Palestinian territories, political participation, and security issues.

If they go ahead as planned, these elections could be the biggest political shift on the Palestinian scene since the clash between Hamas and Fatah after the 2006 elections. /Telegraph/

Republican candidate for governor of Colorado, Victor Marx, has sparked a backlash after admitting in an interview that he was forced to kill his stepfather when he was seven years old.

He also refused to say whether he had killed people as an adult, responding with the question "Does it matter?".

During an interview with 9News reporter Kyle Clark, Marx was asked if the person he killed as a child was his only victim. After a silence of about 10 seconds, he said, "As a child, yes, without a doubt. But I've been in other situations where, perhaps, people have died as a result of my protection in other places. I don't keep a number and I don't have a picture."

When the journalist asked him directly if he had killed people as an adult, the Republican candidate did not give a clear answer and only said "does it matter?".

Marx, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and head of a humanitarian organization, has alleged for years that his abusive stepfather forced him to shoot a man to death in Mendenhall, Mississippi, when he was just seven years old.

However, local authorities in Mississippi have stated that they have found no evidence or leads on an unsolved murder that would match this account.

He is one of the Republican candidates in the race for governor of Colorado, along with Barbara Kirkmeyer and Scott Bottoms.

His statements have sparked great debate in American public opinion, while opponents and analysts have questioned the credibility of his accounts and the impact they may have on the election campaign. /Telegraph/

US President Donald Trump has stated that he will not sign a housing bill that has been approved by the US Congress and sent to the White House, as a way of pressuring the Senate to approve another bill supported by Republicans.

The American leader said his refusal was related to the non-approval of the "Save America Act", an initiative that, according to him, would strengthen the rules for voting in American elections.

It requires voters to present photo identification, proof of U.S. citizenship, and restricts mail-in ballots, with exceptions for military personnel, the disabled, the sick, and those traveling.

Trump has sharply criticized the Senate for failing to pass this law, saying that it enjoys strong support among Republicans and that blocking it poses a threat to the electoral process.

He has also called for the abolition of the filibuster rule in the Senate, a procedure that allows votes to be blocked without a special majority.

What is the "Housing Bill"?

A “Housing Bill” is a bill related to housing policy in the U.S. Such bills typically include measures to increase the affordability of housing, fund housing programs, help low-income families, and improve the housing market.

In this case, Trump has not necessarily opposed the content of the housing law, but is using its signature as a political tool to pressure Congress on the issue of electoral reform.

The clash between the president and Democrats is also linked to the long-running debate in the US over voting rules. Republicans argue that stricter identification and verification requirements increase confidence in elections, while Democrats oppose measures that they say could make it harder for some groups of voters to participate. /Telegraph/

Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti has called for a full investigation into the murder of brothers Yll, Agron and Mehmet Bytyqi, emphasizing that justice for them remains an obligation of the Republic of Kosovo and the international community.

At the memorial gathering held on the balcony of the Prime Minister's Office, on the occasion of the 27th anniversary of the murder of the three Bytyqi brothers, Kurti said that their story is a symbol of patriotism, sacrifice and the fight for freedom.

He recalled that the three brothers, American citizens of Kosovo origin, joined the "Atlantic" volunteer unit of the Kosovo Liberation Army and participated in the liberation war against the Serbian regime.

Kurti also highlighted their humane act, recalling that on June 23, 1999, they were helping a Roma family flee Kosovo to Serbia when they were arrested by Serbian police. After serving a 15-day prison sentence, instead of being released, they were executed by the Serbian state apparatus, and their bodies were found in 2001 in the Petrovo Sello mass grave in Serbia.

"The Bytyqi brothers are clear evidence of Serbia's crimes against Albanians and at the same time of its lack of will to take responsibility for these crimes," Kurti declared.

He emphasized that the passage of time does not diminish the obligation for justice, but makes the burden of impunity even heavier.

According to Kurti, Kosovo and the United States of America have been united in demanding that the perpetrators and orderers of this crime be brought to justice.

The acting Prime Minister thanked the US for its continued engagement in this matter, also mentioning the resolutions adopted by the US House of Representatives in 2019 and 2022, through which Serbia was asked for cooperation in solving the case.

At the end of his speech, Kurti said that the Republic of Kosovo will continue to seek truth, responsibility and justice for the Bytyqi brothers.

"We will continue to work to achieve justice for them, until the end. In addition to our nation and our Republic progressing, justice for them must also be done to the end," he said. / Telegraph /

Another blow for Russian President Vladimir Putin - another refinery has completely stopped working after the Ukrainian drone attack.

The Saratov oil refinery, one of the oldest oil processing plants in Russia, has completely halted operations after a drone attack, Reuters reports.
