Reuters, The Independent and ABC News write about failing to elect the president: Third Elections Within a Year

Reuters, The Independent i n ABC News are some of the media that have written on this issue.

“This move extends the political stalemate in Kosovo, the newest state in Europe aimed at membership in the European Union. The country did not have a functional government for most of last year, as the divided parliament failed to elect the Parliament's chairman for months --” -- said among other things in these reports.

It also notes that within a little over a year these will be the third election.

The next elections will be third in just over a year. Kosovo already held early elections on December 28th, after failing to form the government after the February 2025 elections. ”

Foreign media also cite the victory of the Vetevendosje Movement in December, which failed to ensure the president's election.

“However, although Vetevendosje won enough seating in parliament to form the government, it failed to ensure the opposition turnout required for the president's election. Opposition parties have sought a consensual candidate, while Albin Kurti has nominated his foreign minister, Glauk Konjufca. ”

We stress that on Friday morning, President Vjosa Osmani signed the decree to distribute the Kosovo Assembly.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti, on the other hand, has said this decree is not constitutional.

The “Decret for the distribution of the Assembly is not constitutional, because competency for the distribution of the Assembly can only be exercised in the preset cases expressly by the Constitution. That makes up another subject for the Constitutional Court. Let us wait calmly and patiently, while we rule well as always”, Kurti said. /Periscopi

Kurti: I don't think we should talk about new elections without saying the Constitutional Court itself.
