Kosovo: Parliament elects Kurti as PM, ending year-long political deadlock

“Kosovo’s parliament elected Albin Kurti as prime minister on Wednesday, securing his third term and ending a year-long political stalemate. Kurti, who had served in a caretaker role, won 66 votes in the 120-seat assembly after his Vetevendosje party topped December’s snap election, prompting applause from supporters. … A general election a year ago had left Kurti without the majority needed to form a government – leading to months of parliamentary stasis. Deeply divided lawmakers eventually forced a December snap poll, which Kurti’s party won with over 51 per cent of the vote, securing 57 seats.” (02/11/26)
