Kosovo’s acting Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, has congratulated Friedrich Merz and the CDU/CSU alliance on their victory in Germany’s parliamentary elections.
In a statement on social media platform X, Kurti expressed Kosovo’s anticipation for stronger bilateral cooperation with Germany under Merz’s leadership.
“Congratulations to Friedrich Merz and CDU/CSU on winning the German federal elections. Kosovo and its people eagerly await the continuation and deepening of our cooperation,” Kurti wrote.
According to preliminary official results announced by the German Electoral Council, the CDU/CSU secured victory with 28.6% of the vote.
Merz, who is expected to become Germany’s next chancellor, signaled a major shift in Europe’s stance toward the U.S. and NATO in his post-election remarks.
