Kosovo has no luxury to drag up processes” How urgent is there for the formation of the new Kosovo government?

The public seems to be divided, and each group has its own arguments. This mood is also featured in the beliefs of political connoisseurs whom we have contacted on the subject.

For Bekim Salih from the Institute for Advanced Studies, GAP, the current situation of recounting votes and complaints does not amount to innovation because political parties have typically exploited all legal mechanisms available to address remarks or complaints about the elections.

“Data from past elections shows that the average period that required the Central Election Commission to certified the results has been 21 to 30 days, so we are still within the margin of a practice from the past”, he says.

Salihu believes that the process, currently, is developing with normal dynamics, which could result in government formation in regular form:

Kosovo is not without Government. Within 10 days, the Government can be transferred to the government in office, and as incumbent Government, it cannot proceed only with the adoption of laws, otherwise all other functions are allowed. Of course, elections are held to form the new government, and it is important to form, but there is currently no lack or gap”.

Kosovo has no luxury to drag up processes”

The February 9th parliamentary elections won the Vetevendosje Movement (LVV), which is currently in power but does not have enough votes for forming the new government.

The current prime minister, Albin Kurti, at the same time head of LVV, vows to form the new executive, but without exactly showing how.

Voices within his party cite the possibility of a coalition of non-Serb minorities, and count on the support of any deputy of major Albanian parties, even though this scenario is not considered to produce stability.

Major Albanian parties have dismissed the possibility of co-operation with Kurti, even setting conditions for achieving any eventual coalition with each other.

Volnet Bugakku, senior researcher at the Kosovo Democratic Institute (KDI), believes that, given the geopolitical situation in the world, dynamics within the new administration in the United States and new developments in the European Union, there appear to be comprehensive mobilization of authorities there to be prepared and alert against danger and threats, whether to security or to territory.

“I don't think that Kosovo has the luxury to waste much time in this regard, because we too have a lot of commitment, especially the obligations we have in dialogue with Serbia”, Bugakku says, citing even American President Donald Trump's administration efforts to reach agreement to end the war in Ukraine, the report. Radio Free Europe.

Therefore, he sees the way that “has a broad dynamism and focus even on the Balkan region issue”, broadcast Periscope.

For Salih, the only emergency must exist in the Kosovo Assembly Constitution:

There are about 800m euros that the European Union has dedicated to Kosovo and, as understood, the EU expects these agreements, these funds, to be first approved in the Kosovo Assembly, to enable prosecution further, according to the nature of their adlocation”.

The Assembly is constitutionalized when the mayor and his vice president are elected. The LVV, as the winner of the election, is entitled to propose the president's name, but if this party does not advance a name, the process is frozen in the country.

Salihu does not believe that such a thing will happen, since, according to him, this scenario would harm the party in question, because “can be seen as a kind of sabotage, opposition, neglect, no responsibility”.

Bugakk doesn't see much rush in this direction, and believes the current government benefits in this situation:

“Lu suits ministers, deputy ministers, those who still carry high state positions, the fact that everything is related to institution creation, and because there is no rush in this whole situation of uncertainty with results, with doubts and complaints being made, someone can think and see the longer-term position in power”.

However, Bugakk mentions that these officials too may soon have restrictions or may not sign and ratify international agreements, so there must be a nation holding the executive account as soon as possible.

With Kosovo laws, within 30 days of certificate results, the country's president must call the constitutional collection of the Kosovo Assembly. If the chairman and vice-presidents are elected, then Vjosa Osmani must ask the winning party, the LVV, in this case to propose the mandater for forming the government.
