Vetëvendosje (LVV) now faces a five-day deadline to secure the necessary parliamentary majority for approving the government proposed by Glauk Konjufca, its second nominee for prime minister. However, former opposition parties remain firmly committed to new elections, rejecting any possibility of cooperation with LVV.
Opposition Parties Unmoved: “We Want New Elections”
The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) confirmed that they have had no communication whatsoever with Vetëvendosje regarding the formation of the new executive.
The Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) acknowledged having been contacted, but made it clear that cooperation is not an option.
AAK leader Ramush Haradinaj stated:
“Mr. Konjufca or his office requested communication, even meetings, but we don’t see any point in such talks. We won’t be part of a scenario of ‘give me your vote like a brother because it’s for Kosovo.’”
Within the LDK, MP Alban Zogaj stressed the complete absence of political dialogue with LVV:
“There has been no institutional, official, party-level, or individual approach. What we are seeing now is the exact same behavior we saw with the first nominee. The first nominee showed no effort or interest in forming institutions. The same is happening with the second.”
No Path Forward Without Votes
The Social Democratic Initiative (Nisma) also remains committed to demanding new elections, reinforcing the collective stance of the former opposition.
Departing PDK chairman Memli Krasniqi confirmed his party has not been contacted by LVV at all regarding the government vote.
Meanwhile, Vetëvendosje has provided no clarification on whether it has secured enough votes to form the next government.
Early Elections Likely
If Vetëvendosje fails to assemble a parliamentary majority within the remaining five-day period, Kosovo will be forced into early elections, adding to the ongoing political uncertainty.
The window is closing — and all signs currently point to a new electoral cycle as the only remaining outcome.
