David Philips: The cause over the ego, one must make difficult decisions for Kosovo to develop

The number of sessions for the Parliament's completion has passed 50.

Opposition positions are not reaching agreement to form new institutions.

This blockade is being watched with concern by American Professor David Phillips.

He for Front Online has made a strong statement on the need for responsible leadership and bold decision-making on the Kosovo political scene.

It's not up to me to tell you who should back off. Someone has to make difficult decisions to create political space for Kosovo to develop. National cause is more important than any single individual”, Phillips said.

Since the February 9th 2025 parliamentary elections, Kosovo has been facing a deep institutional crisis due to its failure to forge the Parliament.

Despite numerous efforts, the election hearings of the Speaker of the Parliament have failed over 50 times.

The Vetevendosje movement, which won 48 seats, has nominated Albulen Haxhiun for Speaker of the Parliament, but the opposition has refused to support him and is blocking the secret voting process as well.

Deep political differences have created a deadlock that has blocked institutions.

The Constitutional Court has set a deadline for constitutionalisation by July 26th 2025, while President Vjosa Osmani has demanded clarification of the possibility of a postponement if any agreement between parties reaches. /Periscopi/
