US EditionKosovo’s Kurti promises swift formation of new government after election win
- On Sunday, Vetevendosje won more than half of the votes in Kosovo's parliamentary election, and Albin Kurti, Prime Minister and leader of Vetevendosje , pledged to quickly form a new government.
- Months of coalition deadlock forced President Vjosa Osmani to dissolve parliament in November and call an early election, the second this year after Vetevendosje fell short in February 9.
- Kurti ran on promises including an extra month of pay for public sector workers, one billion euros per year in capital investment, and a new anti-organised-crime unit, while many voters urged the government to help youth stay.
- Immediate tasks include electing a president in April and ratifying one billion euros in European Union and World Bank loans expiring in the coming months; failure would prolong the crisis.
- Beyond the vote, opposition parties including the Democratic Party of Kosovo and the Democratic League of Kosovo refuse to govern with Kurti, while analysts warn the deadlock has cost at least 30 million euros and left key government institutions left leaderless.
