In Kosovo, there are 9 days left before the deadline for electing a new President, based on the deadline set by the Constitutional Court, according to which the process must be concluded by April 28.
What is known so far is that there is no political agreement that would avoid the next crisis, which would lead Kosovo towards early parliamentary elections, which must be held within 45 days of the deadline.
Glauk Konjufca, one of the candidates proposed by Albin Kurti's Vetëvendosje Movement, has expressed his willingness to withdraw from the race if a name is found beyond political parties that will unite votes and enjoy support in the Kosovo Assembly, thus avoiding a crisis.
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Glauk Konjufca, said that the election of the president depends on the will of the opposition. “We go to new elections if this is the will of the opposition, we have nothing to do,” he said on April 15.
On the other hand, the talks between VV and LDK are being kept out of the media spotlight, as Prime Minister Albin Kurti has claimed that negotiations are continuing, but without providing further details.
MP Lutfi Haziri has confirmed that LDK is in consultations with Vetëvendosje, with the aim of reaching an agreement that would ensure institutional stability and avoid a political crisis.
PDK is awaiting an official invitation from VV, but according to Vlora Çitaku, such an invitation has not yet arrived at the offices of this political force. Under such conditions, talks between VV, as the largest main force in the Kosovo Assembly, and PDK, have not taken place, while it seems that Kurti hopes for an agreement with LDK that would provide him with the quota of votes in Parliament to avoid the crisis.
LDK has 15 seats in Parliament and Kurti leads a coalition with 66 mandates, which in total, if there is an agreement, would bring to 81 the number of MPs who could support the President's name with only the votes of LDK and MPs who voted for the Kurti Government.
On the other hand, the acting president of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, has appealed to political parties to reach consensus, asking political actors and factors to avoid extraordinary elections.
"This week is crucial. I hope it starts with meetings between political parties. There are not many days left. But, if there is will, it can be done within a few hours," Haxhiu told the media.
The acting president said she is not responsible for inviting political parties to meetings, stressing that these invitations are being made by Prime Minister Albin Kurti, as leader of the ruling party. She called on the parties to respond positively to Kurti's invitations, adding that the meetings could help reach an agreement on the election of the next president.
Speaking about the possibility of new elections, Haxhiu said that this is not in the country's interest. "I think it is very important that the country does not go to extraordinary elections. We have a lot of work ahead of us, not only internally, but also for developments outside our country," she added.
Since April 4, the Speaker of the Parliament, Albulena Haxhiu, has assumed the position of acting president, after former President Vjosa Osmani's five-year mandate expired.
Kurti's LVV proposed two names for the position of president on March 5: Glauk Konjufca, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, and MP Fatmire Mullhaxha-Kollçaku. Due to the lack of a quorum, the process has been blocked.
The next day, former President Vjosa Osmani presented a decree dissolving the Assembly and paving the way for new elections. Osmani herself was aiming for a second term, but did not secure the necessary support in this regard. The decree was sent to the Constitutional Court by the Government.
The court then issued a ruling stating that the former president's decree had no legal effect and set April 28 as the deadline for presidential elections, otherwise the country would go to elections that must be held within 45 days.
The Vetevendosje Movement won 57 seats in the Assembly in the early elections of December 28, 2025, but they are insufficient to elect the president. To finalize this process, at least 80 votes are needed, out of 120 seats in the Assembly of Kosovo. /Pamphlet/
