Guerrot for discussions about the president's post: It is a party issue to find the right way to choose

France's ambassador to Kosovo, Olivier Guerot, has declared it a matter of political parties finding the right way to elect the president.

He for Kosova Prees sees as a positive step the last meetings that have been held between the ruling Vetevendosje Movement and the two largest opposition parties -- the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo -- in terms of the election of president.

According to Guerot, the Constitution of Kosovo also makes it necessary for political parties to talk to each other.

I think it's very good that political parties are talking to each other. It's theirs to find a solution. The institutional framework of the Kosovo Constitution makes it necessary for political parties to negotiate with each other. Of course, I don't want to comment on these discussions now because it is their matter to find the right way to elect President”, the French ambassador said.

The French ambassador believes political subjects and institutions in Kosovo will quietly work on electing the head of state.

Asked about a consensual name for president, French Ambassador Olivier Guerot said he does not want to comment on domestic politics, but says happy that institutions are functioning.

During this Kosovo interview, France's Ambassador to Kosovo Olivier Guerot has expressed happiness that after a year Kosovo has established its institutions.

By 4 March 2026 the president of Kosovo must be elected in the Kosovo Assembly, otherwise the country goes to early elections. While the prime minister of Kosovo has held meetings with Democratic Party of Kosovo Chairman Bedri Hamza and that of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lumir Abdixhiku, where the topic was the president's issue.
