The three main opposition parties in Kosovo — PDK, LDK, and AAK — have reaffirmed their refusal to support the formation of a third government led by Lëvizja Vetëvendosje (VV).
Party officials stated that their positions regarding cooperation with VV remain unchanged, explaining why they oppose a potential “Kurti 3” government.
Opposition Parties Stand Firm
Ferat Shala, a PDK MP, emphasized that his party will not vote for a VV-led government. In a statement to Front Online, Shala said:
“There has never been any idea, plan, or activity in this regard. The Democratic Party’s stance is well known — we have no coalition and do not plan to form one with Lëvizja Vetëvendosje.”
Shala criticized the previous Kurti-led government, attributing international sanctions, economic hardship, and political isolation of Kosovo to its policies.
“I do not believe the Democratic Party would vote for a VV government that has brought international isolation, European sanctions, poverty, and economic and political damage to Kosovo,” he added.
Muhamet Hamiti, member of LDK leadership, also criticized Albin Kurti, accusing him of unconstitutional rule. In a post on Facebook, Hamiti wrote:
“Deputy Albin Kurti has been heading the government for six months in violation of the Kosovo Constitution. He governs unlawfully and shows no urgency for constitutional functioning of the Assembly or the Government of Kosovo.”
Similarly, Time Kadrijaj of AAK reiterated that her party will not join a Kurti 3 government.
“No, we will not be part of the Kurti 3 government,” Kadrijaj told Arbresh.info.
Kurti Plans Ahead
Meanwhile, VV leader Albin Kurti confirmed that no discussions have yet taken place with any parties or individual MPs regarding the formation of the new government.
“Extremely busy these days analyzing results from the polling centers. We need to assess the contributions of the campaigns in each municipality to prepare for the runoff. I haven’t had the chance to engage in these discussions yet, but we are making a clear plan. We still have more than 10 days,” Kurti said.
The political stalemate continues as parties maintain their positions, while the future formation of Kosovo’s government remains uncertain.
