Kosovo: Kurti Back in Power, but Not in Control
The third parliamentary election in 16 months has restored Vetevendosje to government with 57 seats, but its vote share has dipped.

The third parliamentary election in 16 months has restored Vetevendosje to government with 57 seats, but its vote share has dipped.

In Pristina, MPs missed a constitutional deadline to elect a new president, triggering parliament’s dissolution—and a new election.

Despite multiple electoral victories for the ruling party, the collapse of Pristina’s latest parliamentary session has forced the President to call for yet another snap general election.

Voters return the PM to power in Pristina—this time in sufficient numbers to secure a working government depending less than before on coalition partners.

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