Kosovo’s caretaker Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, declined to answer questions on whether his party, Vetëvendosje, has held talks with other political parties to secure votes for forming the next government.
Speaking during the inauguration of the Specialist Polyclinic in Podujeva, Kurti avoided giving a direct response, stating only that they were present at the health facility, without addressing the issue of potential coalition-building.
Court Decision Pending
The uncertainty over Kosovo’s political process comes as the Constitutional Court’s ruling on the constitution of the Assembly is expected by the end of September. Until then, the Court has imposed a temporary measure, which:
- Prohibits Members of Parliament from undertaking actions related to government formation.
- Suspends any procedure that would lead to the establishment of a new government.
This decision effectively places the political process on hold, leaving Kosovo’s political parties unable to advance coalition negotiations or vote on a new government until the Court issues its ruling.
Political Deadlock
The delay has fueled further political tension in the country, as Vetëvendosje remains under pressure to secure parliamentary support amid a divided political landscape. Observers note that Kurti’s reluctance to confirm ongoing talks reflects both uncertainty about alliances and the legal constraints currently in place.
For now, Kosovo faces weeks of political stagnation, awaiting a constitutional decision that will determine the next steps toward government formation.
