The political stalemate in Pristina has already jeopardised more than €200 million in World Bank and EU funding as lawmakers remain deadlocked.

On Wednesday, November 19th, Kosovo’s parliament once again failed to elect a prime minister. Caretaker leader Albin Kurti’s hopes of a third term were dashed, making snap elections likely.

Kurti’s party, which won February’s vote without a majority, was unable to gather enough support to form a government.

With the final attempt exhausted, the president is now expected to announce an election date. The ongoing stalemate has stalled major financial agreements, and raised concerns that Kosovo risks forfeiting more than €200 million in international support.
