PRISTINA, Dec 19 (Hina) - President of the Democratic Alliance of Kosovo, Ibrahim Rugova, on Wednesday invited the Bosniak coalition "Vatan" which holds four seats in the Kosovo parliament, to discuss the possibility of forming a
coalition. Vatan's president, Numab Balic, expressed readiness to meet Rugova as soon as possible. "We are prepared to speak with all parties working for the benefit of all people in Kosovo," Balic said, announcing a possibility of voting for Rugova for Kosovo president. At the last session of Kosovo's parliament, Rugova did not receive the sufficient number of votes to be elected president. He needs a two-third majority vote of the total of 120 MPs. If Rugova does not receive the two thirds majority vote at the next parliament session which is to be held on January 10 next year, the third round of voting will be held, when Rugova will need more than half of the MPs' votes, or 61 votes to become Koso
