British Professor: Future Kosovo elections could be solution to political stalemate

“The winning election party, the Vetevendosje Movement, has still failed to secure the majority of votes for forming the government. Even parties that have so far been in opposition do not have the necessary numbers. However, this situation seems to coincide with Kurti, who is continuing to lead with a government in office and is likely to push it like this as long as it can, said Gordy.

Apparently, the only way out of this situation is to hold new elections. But now the question is, Will Kurt have the same support? The current situation in the north is adapting to both Kurt and Vucinqi, as both are profiting politically from the crisis. However, these developments are damaging Kosovo's relationship with the European Union”, he added further to Tv1.

Gordy stressed that incumbent Prime Minister Albin Kurti is continuing to lead the government while the political situation appears frozen and the only way out is to see the organisation of new elections. However, he raised doubts about whether Kurti will retain prior support in the upcoming elections.

According to Gordy, in the near future a coalition between LVV and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), an option that according to him has broad popular support. He noted that the LDK can balance Kurti and prevent hasty decisions.

The British professor called for more responsibility from politicians, stressing that the crisis is jeopardising Kosovo's democratic achievements since declaring independence. He also cited that international partners are seeking the quick formation of new institutions to advance political processes in the country./Periscopi/
