Kosovo votes again in early elections, as discontent with political stalemate rises

French medium “Radio France Internationale (RFI)” writes that the elections in Kosovo come following Kosovo's polarised parliament's failure to elect a president in April, a stalemate that deepened the political crisis that has engulfed the country since parliamentary elections that were without clear results from February 2025.

Prime Minister Albin Kurti's party, Vetevendosje, came in first in last year's February elections, but failed to secure the necessary majority to form the government, causing months of bitter divisions among MPs and eventually leading to early elections in December.

“Vetevendosje ) which combines a left political programme with strong nationalism came out first again and formed the government together with the deputies of ethnic minorities. However, the opposition's boycott of the election to replace the outgoing president eventually led to the ouster of parliament”, this medium reports.

Some voters fear Sunday's elections will simply produce the same political force report.

I don't think I'm gonna vote. It is disappointing to see that the elections will produce the same result,” told AFP prior to the elections computer programmer Miranda Fazliu.
