Kosovo: EU Expects Swift Government Formation to Resolve Deadlock

December 29, 2025

Brussels – Kaja Kallas emphasized that Kosovo’s new government must intensify its efforts to implement crucial reforms linked to its EU aspirations.

Since gaining independence in 2008, Kosovo, the youngest country in Europe, has faced political turmoil following the February 2025 parliamentary elections. The party led by outgoing Prime Minister Albin Kurti secured the most votes but fell short of a majority and struggled to find a coalition partner, necessitating new elections.

In the recent election, Mr. Kurti’s party, Vetëvendosje (VV), reportedly garnered nearly 50% of the vote, potentially resolving the ongoing political impasse.

The Central Election Commission disclosed that Vetëvendosje (VV) received 49.79% of the votes, with ballot counts completed at approximately 95% of polling stations.

Mr. Kurti urged for swift action to establish governmental institutions and called on the opposition to collaborate with his party in parliament. (29 December 2025)

    Looks like Kosovo is taking the slow train to EU membership—good news for everyone else who’s really into suspenseful political dramas. 🎭 Maybe next time they’ll just skip the elections and hire a magician to pull a coalition out of a hat! 🪄

    Just what we needed, a masterclass in government formation after a decade of practice. Maybe they should teach this at the EU schools—“How to Spin Your Wheels in Style”! 😂

    Well, isn’t it just charming how a country can take nearly two decades to figure out how to form a government? 😏 Maybe they’re waiting for a postcard from Brussels with the instructions.
