Acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti, head of Lëvizja Vetëvendosje (VV), reiterated his preference for a governing coalition with the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) and Nisma Socialdemokrate. He described this combination as the “right coalition” to secure parliamentary stability.
“With Vetëvendosje’s 57 MPs, LDK’s 20, and 3 from Nisma, we could reach 80 MPs — enough even for ratifying international agreements,” said Kurti in an interview on RTK.
Kurti underlined that such a coalition would reflect shared political orientations, governance experience, and electoral base compatibility, adding that he does not support a transitional or technical government, which would deprive Kosovo of a functioning opposition.
Why No Deal With Nisma?
Despite acknowledging Nisma as a natural ally, Kurti said talks failed over a single precondition: Fatmir Limaj’s insistence that Nisma receive the Assembly Speaker position, despite having only three MPs.
“Giving the Speaker post to a party with 3 MPs would damage the coalition architecture with Guxo and Alternativa, who have double the seats,” Kurti explained.
On PDK: “We Don’t Need Them in Government”
Kurti also clarified his stance on the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK):
“PDK needs another term in the opposition. After 20 years, we finally moved them out of power. I don’t see why anyone in opposition would want to bring them back.”
Though Kurti had previously invited both LDK and PDK to resolve the political stalemate, talks with PDK leader Memli Krasniqi did not yield results.
