Key Highlights of the Election

The election results represent a major shift in Kosovo’s political landscape, potentially allowing Kurti to govern without the complex coalition negotiations that paralyzed the country throughout 2025.

• Decisive Mandate: Vetëvendosje secured nearly 50% of the vote, a significant increase that leaves the traditional opposition parties (PDK and LDK) trailing by wide margins.
• Ending the Deadlock: Kosovo has been without a formal government since the February 2025 elections failed to produce a majority. This “snap” election was the only path left to resolve the constitutional crisis.
• Economic Urgency: A primary driver for a “swift” formation is the 2026 National Budget. Without a new government by the end of the year, Kosovo risks a total freeze on public spending and infrastructure projects.

The Road Ahead: 3 Immediate Priorities

1. Budget Approval: Passing the delayed fiscal plan to unlock frozen EU development funds.
2. Presidential Selection: Preparing the Assembly to elect a president before Vjosa Osmani’s term ends in early 2026.
3. Western Relations: Repairing strained diplomatic ties with the US and EU, who have called for more cooperation regarding the normalization of relations with Serbia.

“The people have spoken with a clear voice. We have no time for delays or political maneuvering; our priority is a stable government that serves the citizens immediately.” — Albin Kurti
